Let h =  the height (ft) from which the stone was dropped.

Assume that g = 32 ft/s² and ignore air resistance.

At time t seconds, the stone is 250 ft above ground. Therefore
(1/2)gt² = h - 250                 (1)

After another 3 seconds, the stone is 10 ft above ground. Therefore
(1/2)g(t+3)² = h - 10              (2)

Subtract (1) from (2).
(1/2)g[(t+3)² - t²] = 240
32(t+3)² = 480
(t+3)² = 15
t = 0.873 s

From (1), obtain
16*(0.873)² = h - 250
12.194 = h - 250
h = 262.194 ft

Answer: 262.2 ft (nearest tenth)

Find the lateral area for the pyramid with the equilateral base.
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Option A is the correct answer.

Explanation:

 The given pyramid has 3 lateral triangular side as shown below.

 Base of triangle = 12 unit

 We need to find perpendicular.

  By Pythagoras theorem we have

            Perpendicular² = 10²-6²

           Perpendicular = 8 unit

So area of 1 lateral triangle = 1/2 x Base x Perpendicular.

                                             = 1/2 x 12 x 8 = 48 unit²

Area of lateral side = 3 x 48 = 144 unit²    

Option A is the correct answer.
