Answer:
The surface area of the pyramid is 208 units²
Step-by-step explanation:
Luckily, since this is a square pyramid, we only need to find two numbers. These two numbers are the area of the base and the area of one triangular side. After we find them, we need to add them all together.
First, the base:
Since it's a square, we can just do 8 · 8 and get 64. Now we have one of the two needed numbers.
Second, one of the triangles:
To start, we multiply the base (8) by the height (9) giving us 72. After we divide that by 2, we have the area of the triangle, which is 36. Now we have the second number down. Now we can...
Finally, add them all together:
Now that we have the area of the base (64) and one of our triangles (36), we need to add them together. We add the base once and the triangle four times (because there are four triangles) to get the total surface area. Our expression looks like this:
64 + 36 + 36 + 36 + 36
After doing some simplifying, we get our final number, 208.
The surface area of the pyramid is 208 units²
The vertical angles are congruent (have the same measures).
Therefore you have the equation:
∠E = ∠F → 9x + 12 = 3x + 24 |-12
9x = 3x + 12 |-3x
6x = 12 |:6
x = 2
Part 1) Finding x
Note the double tickmarks for segments XY and YZ. This indicates the segments are the same length, which leads to point Y being the midpoint of segment XZ.
Therefore, XZ is twice as long as XY
XZ = 2*( XY )
XZ = 2*( 2x-1 )
XZ = 4x - 2
We also know that XZ = 2(3x-4) = 6x-8. Let's equate 4x-2 and 6x-8 and solve for x
6x-8 = 4x-2
6x-4x = -2+8
2x = 6
x = 6/3
x = 3
<h3>Answer is 3</h3>
=====================================
Part 2) Finding the length of YZ
The resut of part 1 (x = 3) is plugged into the equation for XY to get
XY = 2*x-1
XY = 2*3-1
XY = 6-1
XY = 5
Segment XY is 5 units long. So is segment YZ as these two segments are the same length (aka congruent).
<h3>Answer: 5</h3>
=====================================
Part 3) Finding the length of segment XZ
The answer from the previous part was 5. This doules to 5*2 = 10
-----
A longer way to get the same answer is to plug x = 3 into the XZ equation and we get...
XZ = 2*(3x-4)
XZ = 2*(3*3-4)
XZ = 2*(9-4)
XZ = 2*5
XZ = 10
and we get the same answer
<h3>Answer: 10</h3>
Answer:
x = 3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
(3)(1)+2x=6
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
(3)(1)+2x=6
3+2x=6
2x+3=6
Step 2: Subtract 3 from both sides.
2x+3−3=6−3
2x=3
Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.
2x/2 3/2
x = 3/2
Hope this helps :)
