A square pyramid has a base side of 12 in. and a slant height of 15 in. The lateral area of the pyramid is _____ in.².

1 answer:

3 0

Solving for the lateral surface of the square pyramid, we need to use the formula shown below:
Lateral Area = a √ (a² + 4h²) where "a" for the base edge and "h" for the height

We have given values such as:
Base = 12 inches
Height = 15 inches
Lateral area = 12 √ (12² + 4*15)
Lateral area = 171.39 inches²

The answer is 171.39 inches².

The square pyramid has a volume of 768 cubic inches. The height equals 1/6x and the base is just x. What is the value of x ?

Lunna [17]

The volume for a pyramid is $V= \frac{1}{3} Bh$ , where B is the area of the base and h is the height. We are given the volume, and the base and height in terms of x. Our formula then looks like this: $768= \frac{1}{3} (x)( \frac{1}{6} x)$ . Simplifying the right side we have $768= \frac{1}{18} x^{2}$ . Multiply both sides by 18 to get rid of the fraction and we have $13824= x^{2}$ , so x = 117.575

hammer [34]

Answer:

<u>7/8 feet</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to add two frctions you need to make their denominator the same,

3/8 can be kept as it is and we can multiply the top and bottom of 1/2 by 4 in order to ger 4/8. Now it is easier to add together,

3/8 + 4/8= <u>7/8</u>
