From the information given about the square pyramid, the maximum base length of the building is 67.42 cm.

<h3>How do you determine the maximum side length?</h3>

We are given the following  details  are:

Base = b

Slant height (l) = 5b

The lateral surface area is calculated using:

L = 2bl

So, we have:

L = 2 * b * 5b

Evaluate the product

L = 10b²

The total surface area is calculated using:

T = L + b²

So, we have:

T = 10b² + b²

Evaluate the sum

T = 11b²

Recall that the maximum surface area is 50,000 square feet

So, we have:

11b² = 50000

Divide both sides by 11

b² = 50000/11

Taking the square root of both sides, we have

b = 67.42

Hence, the maximum base length of the building is 67.42 cm

A surveyor measures the angle of elevation to a point on a mountain, that is 6 miles away, to be 15 degrees. The vertical change
cricket20 [7]
You can draw a right triangle with the informatio.

The vertical change in elevation (unknown) is the opposed leg to the angle 15°

The distance from the surveyor to the point vertically below the point on the mountain is the adjacent leg = 6 miles.

Then tan(15°) = x / 6 => x = 6tan(15) = 1.61 miles

Answer: 1.61 miles

Answer:

Is only if a Biconditional?

The general form (for goats, geometry or lunch) is: Hypothesis if and only if conclusion. Because the statement is biconditional (conditional in both directions), we can also write it this way, which is the converse statement: Conclusion if and only if hypothesis.

4. Given that 2x = 0.125, find the value of x​
Bingel [31]

Answer:

0.0625

Step-by-step explanation:

Because 2x = 0.125, we'll divide 0.125 by 2 to het the answer. (0,125 ÷ 2 = 0.0625)
