The surface area of a pyramid may be calculated using the formula:
Area = length * width + length*√[(width/2)² + height²] + width*√[(length/2)² + height²]

In this case, the base of the pyramid is a square, which means that the length and the width are equivalent.
Therefore, the equation simplifies:
Area = l² + 2l√[(l/2)² + h²]

Now, we substitute the values into the equation:
A = 10² + 2*10*√[(10/2)² + 12²]
A = 360

The surface area of the pyramid is 360 square inches.

The pyramid is shown in the diagram below.
The pyramid is built from four congruent triangles and one square as the base

We have the side of the square, so the area is = 10×10 = 100

We need the height of the triangle to work out its area. We can find out by using the height of the pyramid and half of the length of the side of the square.

Using the Pythagoras rule
Height of triangle = \sqrt{12^{2}+ 5^{2} } =13

Area of one triangle = 1/2×10×12=60
Surface area of the pyramid = 100 + (4×60) = 340 square inches

How can I solve for x?

Answer:

37 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles within a triangle always add up to 180 degrees. Right angles are always 90 degrees. 53 + 90 = 143 degrees. 180 - 143 = 37 degrees

Answer:

x = 47

2x+6 = 100  which is the angle measure

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles are vertical and vertical angles are equal

2x+6 = 100

Subtract 6 from each side

2x+6-6 =100-6

2x = 94

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 94/2

x =47

Now to find the measure of 2x+6

We know that it is equal to 100

so 2x+6 = 100

Find the exact value of Cos(-pi/12)
Inga [223]
You did ask for the EXACT value, which no one has posted yet. The exact value is √(2 + √3)/2. To three decimal places, that is .966. As for how I got that, I started with a 30-60-90 triangle and extended the longer side by the length of the hypotenuse to get a 15-75-90 triangle, then used Pythagoragus. For some reason, though, most students have an easier time using a half-angle formula, so feel free to do it that way. * * * * OK, sorry, I see Awesome Sauce also gives an exact value. It is also correct, just looks a little different. * * * * From your comment in Additional Details, it appears you want to use the angle difference relation: cos(π/12) = cos(π/4 - π/6). That works also, but you need to get the formula right, which is: cos(a - b) = cos a * cos b + sin a * sin b For cos (45 - 30), this gives cos 45 * cos 30 + sin 45 * sin 30 = √2/2 * √3/2 + √2/2 * 1/2 = √2/4(√3 + 1). This is yet another expression for the same exact value.

Solve this equation.<br> 2/3x−1/5x=x−1
olga55 [171]
2/3x-1/5=x-1

Add similar elements 23x-15=8x

Subtract x from both sides 8x-x=x-1-x

Simply 7x=-x

Divide both sides by 7 7x = -1
__ __. *Simply: x=-1/7

worty [1.4K]
This is how you would work it out :
Add 40 to each side
X^2= 12
Square root each side
X = 12 square rooted
