Answer:

96 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The general formula for the surface area of a pyramid is:  

SA = \frac{1}{2}pl + B, were p = the perimeter of the base, l = the slant height and B = the area of the base

Since the area of the base is 36 ft², then each side is √36, or 6 ft. The perimeter is the sum of all the sides, so 6 x 4 = 24 ft.

Given the overall height of the pyramid is 4 feet, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem (a² + b² = c²) to find the slant height (hypotenuse) of the pyramid.  Using 3 feet for 'a' and 4 feet for 'b':

3² + 4² = c² or 9 + 16 = 25

25 = c² or c = 5

SA =  \frac{1}{2}(24)(5) + 36

SA = 60 + 36 = 96 ft²

Find the dimensions of a rectangular prism whose volume is (x^4 ‒ y ^4) units3.
vovikov84 [41]
Factor x^4-y^4: (x²+y²)(x²-y²)
further factor: (x²+y²)(x+y)(x-y)
so the dimensions are (x²+y²)(length),  (x+y) (width), and (x-y) (height)
