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

BlackZzzverrR [31]
Kelby drank 168 glasses of water per week
i.e 24 glasses per day

Since 8  eight-ounce glass of water is for every 50 pounds.
1 eight-ounce glass is for = 50/8 pounds
and 24 glasses of water is for = 50*24/8
= 150pounds

So kelby probably weighs 150 pounds

spin [16.1K]

No, the given sequence is not an arithmetic sequence.

What is Arithmetic Sequence ?

An arithmetic sequence is a list of numbers with a definite pattern. If you take any number in the sequence then subtract it by the previous one, and the result is always the same or constant then it is an arithmetic sequence.

In the above question,

The sequence is 3,5/2,3/2,-3/2,...

Take the 2nd term and minus the 1st term.

Now take the 3rd term and minus the 2nd term.

We can clearly notice that the differences are not same. Hence there is no common difference and therefore it's not an arithmetic sequence

RSM HOMEWORK HELP!!!
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

∠CAB = 33       {alternate interior angles}

5x = 33 + 2x    { exterior angle equals sum of opposite interior angles}

5x - 2x = 33

3x = 33

x = 33/3

x = 11

∠B = 2x = 2* 11 = 22

∠ECB = 5x = 5*11 = 55
