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.

16. write an inequality for each graph
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

Question 16

(a) x < 1 : the values of x are smaller than than 1 (e.g. possible values are 0, -1, -2, etc) and since the circle is not shaded it means that 1 isn't a possible value of x

(b) x \geq -2 : the circle is filled therefore -2 is included in the answer

Question 17

(a) unfilled dot above -2 and arrow pointing to the left

(b) shaded circle above 4 with and arrow pointing to the right →

Answer: 5/18

<u>Do Keep Change Flip (KCF)</u>

Keep: 5/6

Change: ÷ into ×

Flip: 3/1 into 1/3

Your new problem should be: 5/6×1/3

<u>Multiply</u>

5/6×1/3=5/18

A.(2,1)
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

  D(6, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other, so the midpoint of AC is the same as the midpoint of BD. This means ...

  (A +C)/2 = (B +D)/2 . . . . the midpoints are the same

  A +C = B +D . . . . . . . . . multiply by 2

  D = A +C -B = (2+5-2, 1+5-3) . . . . . solve for D, substitute given coordinates

  D = (6, 3)

A bag contains y fruits. A box can hold 4 times as many fruits as the bag.
sashaice [31]
Y = 8

A bag contains 8 fruits.
A box can hold 4 TIMES as many fruits.
So, 4•8= 32

32 fruits.
