Given:

• AB = 6 cm

,

• SM = √15 cm

Let's solve for the following:

• 1) the base elevation AM.

Given that we have a regular triangular pyramid, the length of the three bases are equal.

AB = BC = AC

BM = BC/2 = 6/2 = 3 cm

To solve for AM, which is the height of the base, apply Pythagorean Theorem:

\begin{gathered} AM=\sqrt{AB^2-BM^2} \\  \\ AM=\sqrt{6^2-3^2} \\  \\ AM=\sqrt{36-9} \\  \\ AM=\sqrt{27} \\  \\ AM=5.2\text{ cm} \end{gathered}

The base elevation of the pyramid is 5.2 cm.

• (2)., The elevation SO.

To find the elevation of the pyramid, apply Pythagorean Theorem:

SO=\sqrt{SM^2-MO^2}

Where:

SM = √15 cm

MO = AM/2 = 5.2/2 = 2.6 cm

Thus, we have:

\begin{gathered} SO=\sqrt{(\sqrt{15})^2-2.6^2} \\  \\ SO=\sqrt{15-6.76} \\  \\ SO=2.9\text{ cm} \end{gathered}

Length of SO = 2.9 cm

• (3). Area of the base:

To find the area of the triangular base, apply the formula:

A=\frac{1}{2}*BC*AM

Thus, we have:

\begin{gathered} A=\frac{1}{2}*6^*5.2 \\  \\ A=15.6\text{ cm}^2 \end{gathered}

The area of the base is 15.6 square cm.

• (4). Area of the side surface.

Apply the formula:

SA=\frac{1}{2}*p*h

Where:

p is the perimeter

h is the slant height, SM = √15 cm

Thus, we have:

\begin{gathered} A=\frac{1}{2}*(6*3)*\sqrt{15} \\  \\ A=34.86\text{ cm}^2 \end{gathered}

• (5). Total surface area:

To find the total surface area, apply the formula:

TSA=base\text{ area + area of side surface}

Where:

Area of base = 15.6 cm²

Area of side surface = 34.86 cm²

TSA = 15.6 + 34.86 = 50.46 cm²

The total surface area is 50.46 cm²

• (6). Volume:

To find the volume, apply the formula:

V=\frac{1}{3}*area\text{ of base *height}

Where:

Area of base = 15.6 cm²

Height, SO = 2.9 cm

Thus, we have:

\begin{gathered} V=\frac{1}{3}*15.6*2.9 \\  \\ V=15.08\text{ cm}^3 \end{gathered}

The volume is 15.08 cm³.

ANSWER:

• 1.) 5.2 cm

,

• 2.) 2.9 cm

,

• 3.) 15.6 cm²

,

• 4.) 34.86 cm²

,

• (5). 50.46 cm²

,

• 6). 15.08 cm³.

in a diagram of a landscape plan the scale is 1 cm 10 ft in the diagram the trees are 5.2 cm apart. how far apart should the act
vazorg [7]
The scale of the drawing is 1 cm to 10 feet. This means, every 1 cm of the drawing represents 10 feet in actual.

The trees are 5.2 cm apart in the drawing. So according to the given scale, they will be 5.2 x 10 = 52 feet apart in actual.

So actual bushes be planted at a distance of 52 feet.

Determine the utilization and the efficiency for each situations:A. A loan processing operation that processes an average of 7 l
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

A) Utilization = 70%

Efficiency = 87.5%

B) Utilization = 66.67%

Efficiency = 80%

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine the utilization and the efficiency for each situations:

A. A loan processing operation that processes an average of 7 loans per day. The operation has a design capacity of 10 loans per day and an effective capacity of 8 loans per day.

Formula for Utilization = Actual Output /

Design Capacity × 100

Actual output = 7 loans per day

Design capacity = 10 loans per day

Utilization = 7/10 × 100

= 70%

Efficiency = Actual output / Effective capacity × 100

Actual output = 7 loans per day

Effective capacity = 8 loans per day

Efficiency = 7/8 × 100

= 87.5%

B. A furnace repair team that services and average of four furnaces a day if the design capacity is six furnaces a day and the effective capacity is five furnaces a day.

Formula for Utilization = Actual Output /

Design Capacity × 100

Actual output = four furnaces a day

Design capacity = six furnaces a day

Utilization = 4/6 × 100

= 66.67%

Efficiency = Actual output / Effective capacity × 100

Actual output = four furnaces a day

Effective capacity = five furnaces a day

Efficiency = 4/5 × 100

= 80%

Help in math ...........................................
Sauron [17]
Your answer would be B.

The triangles would be congruent, because the lines GH and FI are congruent and the angle H and I are the same, and since the line HI is shared by the two, it would then be SAS.
