The actual height of the heart is 3.5 inches

14 * .25 = 3.5 inches

I hope this helps :)

A pyramid has a square base of length 8cm and a total surface area of 144cm². Find the volume of the pyramid. (Please use Pythag

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

$\displaystyle V_{ \text{pyramid}}= 64 \: {cm}^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given surface area and the length of the square base

we want to figure out the Volume

to do so

we need to figure out slant length first

recall the formula of surface area

$\displaystyle A_{\text{surface}}=B+\dfrac{1}{2}\times P \times s$

where B stands for Base area

and P for Base Parimeter

$\sf\displaystyle \: 144=(8 \times 8)+\dfrac{1}{2}\times (8 \times 4) \times s$

now we need our algebraic skills to figure out s

simplify parentheses:

$\sf\displaystyle \: 64+\dfrac{1}{2}\times32\times s = 144$

reduce fraction:

$\sf\displaystyle \: 64+\dfrac{1}{ \cancel{ \: 2}}\times \cancel{32} \: ^{16} \times s = 144 \\ 64 + 16 \times s = 144$

simplify multiplication:

$\displaystyle \: 16s + 64 = 144$

cancel 64 from both sides;

$\displaystyle \: 16s = 80$

divide both sides by 16:

$\displaystyle \: \therefore \: s = 5$

now we'll use Pythagoras theorem to figure out height

according to the theorem

$\displaystyle \: {h}^{2} + (\frac{l}{2} {)}^{2} = {s}^{2}$

substitute the value of l and s:

$\displaystyle \: {h}^{2} + (\frac{8}{2} {)}^{2} = {5}^{2}$

simplify parentheses:

$\displaystyle \: {h}^{2} + (4 {)}^{2} = {5}^{2}$

simplify squares:

$\displaystyle \: {h}^{2} + 16 = 25$

cancel 16 from both sides:

$\displaystyle \: {h}^{2} = 9$

square root both sides:

$\displaystyle \: \therefore \: {h}^{} = 3$

recall the formula of a square pyramid

$\displaystyle V_{pyramid}=\dfrac{1}{3}\times A\times h$

where A stands for Base area (l²)

substitute the value of h and l:

$\sf\displaystyle V_{ \text{pyramid}}=\dfrac{1}{3}\times \{8 \times 8 \}\times 3$

simplify multiplication:

$\sf\displaystyle V_{ \text{pyramid}}=\dfrac{1}{3}\times 64\times 3$

reduce fraction:

$\sf\displaystyle V_{ \text{pyramid}}=\dfrac{1}{ \cancel{ 3 \: }}\times 64\times \cancel{ \: 3}$

hence,

$\sf\displaystyle V_{ \text{pyramid}}= 64 \: {cm}^{3}$

Two sides of an obtuse triangle measure 9 inches and 14 inches. The length of longest side is unknown. What is the smallest poss

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

17 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

An obtuse triangle is the triangle in which one of the side is the longest. It contains an obtuse angle and the longest side is the side that is opposite to the vertex of the obtuse angle.

Let the three sides of the obtuse triangle be a, b and c respectively with c as the longest side. Let a = 9 inches and b = 14 inches.

Now we know that for an obtuse triangle,

$c^2 > a^2 +b^2$

$c^2 > (9)^2 +(14)^2$

$c^2 > 81 +196$

$c^2 > 277$

c > 16.64

Therefore the smallest possible whole number is 17 inches.

Help i dont know the formula for the triangle to find the answer its surface area n volume

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

#4=10.5

#5=48

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the triangle for area is 1/2 time base times hight

The forumale fot the triangle for volume is 1/2 time base times hight

So for number #4 it will be 1/2 x 3 x 7

and number #5, it will be 1/2 x 8 x 12
