A pyramid is regular if its base is a regular polygon, that is a polygon with equal sides and angle measures.
(and the lateral edges of the pyramid are also equal to each other)

Thus a regular rectangular pyramid is a regular pyramid with a square base, of side length say x.

The lateral faces are equilateral triangles of side length x.

The lateral surface area is 72 cm^2, thus the area of one face is 72/4=36/2=18  cm^2.

now we need to find x. Consider the picture attached, showing one lateral face of the pyramid.

by the Pythagorean theorem: 

h= \sqrt{ x^{2} - (x/2)^{2}}= \sqrt{ x^{2}- x^{2}/4}= \sqrt{3x^2/4}= \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2}x

thus, 

Area_{triangle}= \frac{1}{2}\cdot base \cdot height\\\\18= \frac{1}{2}\cdot x \cdot \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2}x\\\\ \frac{18 \cdot 4}{ \sqrt{3}}=x^2

thus:

x^2 =\frac{18 \cdot 4}{ \sqrt{3}}= \frac{18 \cdot 4 \cdot\  \sqrt{3} }{3}=24 \sqrt{3}       (cm^2)

but x^{2} is exactly the base area, since the base is a square of sidelength = x cm.


So, the total surface area = base area + lateral area =  24 \sqrt{3}+72   cm^2


Answer: 24 \sqrt{3}+72   cm^2

Deangelo has $7 worth of dimes and quarters in a jar. He has 7 more quarters than dimes.
svlad2 [7]
D=number of dimes
q=number of quarters

let's count everything in cents
dimes are worth 10 cents
quarters are worth 25 cents

10d+25q=700
divide both sides by 5
2d+5q=140


he has 7 more quarters than dimes
q=7+d
subsitute 7+d for q in other equation

2d+5q=140
2d+5(7+d)=140
2d+35+5d=140
7d+35=140
minus 35 both sides
7d=105
divide both sides by 7
d=15

sub back

q=7+d
q=7+15
q=22


22 quarters and 15 dimes

Answer:

r = 8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for circumference of a circle is

C = 2 * pi *r

We know the circumference is 16 pi

16 pi = 2 pi r

Divide each side by 2pi

16 pi /2 pi = 2 pi r / (2pi)

8 = r

81.4% ≅ 81%. The probability that a customer ordered a hot drink given that he or she ordered a large is 81%.

The key to solve this problem is using the conditional probablity equation P(A|B) = P(A∩B)/P(B). Conditional probability is the probability of one event occurring with some relationship to one or more other events.

Similarly to the previous exercise, P(A∩B) is the probability that a customer order a large hot drink. So, P(A∩B) = 22/100 = 0.22

For P(B), is the probability that a customer order a large drink whether hot or cold. P(B) = 27/100 = 0.27

P(A|B) = 0.22/0.27 = 0.814

multiplying by 100%, we obtain 81.4%
