Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to determine the number of
tiles she will need to cover the pyramid, we would apply the formula for determining the total surface area of a pyramid. It is expressed as
Total surface area = 1/2 × p × l + base area
Where
p represents the perimeter of the base
l represents the slant height of the triangular face
Since the base is a square, the perimeter, p is
12 × 4 = 48 feet
l = 15 feet
Base area = 12² = 144 ft²
Total surface area = (1/2 × 48 × 15) + 144 = 504 ft²
Since the artist decides to cover the metal structure with 1-foot square glass tiles, the number of tiles needed is
504/1 = 504 tiles
Answer:
x = 2 or 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
-13/4 -x= 1/2x -1
Collect like terms
-13/4+1=1/2x+x
Using LCM
(-13+4)/4=(1+2x²)/2x
9/4=(1+2x²)/2x
Cross multiply
9(2x)=4(1+2x²)
18x=4+8x²
Turn into quadratic and solve
8x²-18x+4
Using formulae method
-b±(√b²-4ac)/2a
Where a=8, b= -18 and c=4
(-(-18)±(√(-18)²-4(8)(4))/2(8)
(18±(√324-128))/16
(18±√196)/16
(18±14)/16
(18+14)/16 or (18-14)/16
32/16 or 4/16
2 or 1/4
Using the Pythagorean theorem:
6^2 + X^2 = 14^2
36 + x^2 = 196
X^2 = 196-36
x^2 = 160
x = SQRT(160)
x = 4 SQRT(10)
Or as a decimal:
x = 12.65 inches
is already in simplest form because 23 is a prime number, which means that it is only divisible by 1 and itself (23). Hope this helps! :)
