See the attached picture to better understand the problem

we know that
in the right triangle ABC
tan 48=AC/AB--------> AC=AB*tan 48-----> AC=x*tan 48-----> equation 1

in the right triangle ACD
tan 41=AC/AD-----> AC=AD*tan 41------> AC=(140-x)*tan 41----> equation 2

equate equation 1 and equation 2

x*tan 48=(140-x)*tan 41----> x*tan 48=140*tan 41-x*tan 41
x*[tan 48+tan 41]=140*tan 41
x=140*tan 41/[tan 48+tan 41]-----> x=61.468 m

find AC
AC=x*tan 48-----> AC=61.468*tan 48----> AC=68.27 m----> AC=68 m

the answer is
68 m

Carol is going to make a wooden pyramid and then paint it. She drew the net of a square pyramid as shown below to help her plan
rodikova [14]

The given pyramid's total surface area is 3. 24.0 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

To calculate the surface area of the given figure, we need to find the surface areas of the different shapes in the figure.

There are 3 triangles and 1 square in the figure.

Step 2:

All the triangles are similar.

The surface area of a triangle = \frac{1}{2} (baselength)(height).

The similar triangles have a base length of 3 feet and a height of 2.5 feet.

The surface area of 1 similar triangle = \frac{1}{2} (3)(2.5)= 3.75 square feet.

The surface area for all the similar triangles = 3.75 (4) = 15 square feet.

Step 3:

The surface area of a square is the square of its side length. The square has a side length of 3 feet.

The surface area of the square = a^{2} = 3^{2} =9 square feet.

Step 4:

To calculate the total surface area we sum up all the individual surface area.

The total surface area = 15 + 9 = 24 square feet which is the third option.

How to solve 325x52 traditional way
pentagon [3]

place 325 on top and line up 52 with 25 on bottom. Then multiply 2 with 5 to get 10. Place the zero bellow the line and carry the 1 over the 2. Multiply 2 times 2 to get 4 and then add one to get 5. Put the five bellow the line. Multiply 3 times 2 to get a total of 6 and bring it bellow the line. Bring a zero bellow the 0 that's bellow the line. Multiply 5 times 5 to get 25. Bring the 5 to the left of the zero you just placed and carry the 2. Multiply 5 times 2 to get 10 and add the 12. Place the 2 to the left of the 5 you just placed bellow the line and carry the 1. Multiply 5 times 3 to get 15 and add the 1 to get 16. Place the 16 to the left of the 2 you just placed bellow the line. Then add 650 plus 16250 to get an answer of 16,900.


Wow that was long and hard to explain LOL. :)
