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.

(4.7 x 10^5) + (2.8 x 10^3)
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

472800 or 4.728x10^5

Step-by-step explanation:

first you would slove (4.7x10^5) and (2.8x 10^3). Which would be 470000 and 2800. Then add the two together to get 472800. And if they want you to put it back into scientific notation then it would be 4.728x10^5
