Answer:
base: 12
area: 84
Step-by-step explanation:
Please let me know if you want me to add an explanation as to why this is the answer. I can definitely do that, I just wouldn’t want to write it if you don’t want me to :)
It looks like it goes through (0,-3) and (1,2), so the gradient is (change in y)/(change in x) ->
(-3-2)/(0-1) = 5
So y=5x+b
Then as we know it passes the y axis at (0,-3) so b= -3
So we have y=5x-3
To solve for the surface area of the pyramid, we make use
of the formula:
A= l w + l [sqrt ((w / 2)^2 + h^2)] + w [sqrt ((l / 2)^2 + h^2))
where,
l and w are the base of the pyramid = 100 mm
h is the height of the pyramid = 75 mm
Substituting the given values into the equation:
A= 100 * 100 + 100 [sqrt ((100 / 2)^2 + 75^2)] + 100 [sqrt ((100
/ 2)^2 + 75^2))
A = 10,000 + 100 (sqrt 2575) + 100 (sqrt 2575)
A = 20,148.90 mm^2
Therefore the surface area of the pyramid is about 20,149
mm^2.
