Answer:

  8 +(3/8)√53 in² ≈ 10.73 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the net of a triangular pyramid with some of the dimensions filled in, you want to find the total surface area.

<h3>Triangle base</h3>

The triangle bases identified by dashed lines will have a length equal to the hypotenuse of the right triangles with legs shown as solid lines. The legs of each of those right triangles are ...

  a = (3 in)/2 = 1.5 in

  b = 2 in . . . . . . shown as the altitude of the triangle

Then the hypotenuse is found using the Pythagorean theorem:

  c² = a² +b²

  c² = 1.5² +2² = 2.25 +4 = 6.25

  c = √6.25 = 2.5

The dashed lines are 2.5 inches long.

<h3>Triangle altitude</h3>

The altitude from the solid horizontal line to the vertex at the bottom of the figure can be found using the fact that all of the outside edge lengths of the net are the same length. That edge length is found as the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangles in the left- and right-sides of the upper portion of the net. Each of those has a leg that is (2.5 in)/2 = 1.25 in and a leg marked as 2 in.

  c² = a² +b²

  c² = 1.25² +2² = 1.5625 +4 = 5.5625

  c = (√89)/4 ≈ 2.358 . . . in

The unmarked altitude of the bottom triangle is then ...

  b² = c² -a²

  b² = 89/16 -1.5² = 53/16

  b = (√53)/4 ≈ 1.820 . . . in

<h3>Surface area</h3>

The surface area of the figure is the sum of the areas of the four triangles that make up the net. Each triangle has an area given by the formula ...

  A = 1/2bh

The left and right triangles have b=2.5, h=2, so they each have an area of ...

  A = 1/2(2.5)(2) = 2.5 . . . . in²

The center triangle has dimensions of b=3, h=2, so an area of ...

  A = 1/2(3)(2) = 3 . . . . in²

The bottom triangle has dimensions of b=3, h=(√53)/4, so an area of ...

  A = 1/2(3)(√53/4) = (3/8)√53 ≈ 2.730 . . . . in²

The total surface area is the sum of the areas of these triangles, so is ...

  A = 2.5 in² +2.5 in² +3 in² +2.73 in² = 10.73 in²

The surface area of the triangular pyramid is (64+3√53)/8 ≈ 10.73 in².

<em>Additional comment</em>

Often we work with pyramids that are rotationally symmetrical about a vertical line through the peak. This one is not. The altitude of the bottom triangle in the net is less than the altitude of the other triangles. This short face of the pyramid will tend to be more vertical than the other two lateral faces.

Option A: d(t) = 360-60t is the right answer

Step-by-step explanation:

We will write the given problem in terms of function to find the correct answer.

Let d(t) be the function and t be the number of hours.

Total distance is 360 miles and with each passing hour the distance will reduce 60 miles

So,

The function is:

d(t) = 360-60t

Hence,

Option A: d(t) = 360-60t is the right answer

How many feet does a car travelling at 65 MPH go in one second ?
Semenov [28]

Answer:

At 65 mph, keeping one second of following distance means the vehicle is traveling 100 feet behind the vehicle in front. It takes an automobile a minimum of 150 feet to stop. With a 100 foot gap plus the auto's stopping distance of 150 feet, an impact would occur within 250 feet.

The large rectangle below represents one whole.
goblinko [34]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

If the whole rectangle were shaded (all 25 parts) that would be 100%

So, we can set up a proportion.

25 = 100%

11 = x

Then, cross-multiply to get,

25x = 1100

Divide both sides by 25 to solve for x

x = 44.

The x value represents the percentage shaded.

44%
