Question

Given the side length of 35m and a height of 22m, calculate the length of the slant edge ( E ) the base angle the distance between the center of the base and the corner of the pyramid and the area of the side of the pyramid
Work shown please!

Answer 1

Answer:

1) 33.11 m

2) 58.1°

3) 35·√2

4) 491.925 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Side length of the pyramid = 35 m

The height of the pyramid = 22 m

The slant height = √(Height² + (1/2 Side length)²)

The slant height = √(22² + (1/2×35)² = 28.11 m

1) The slant edge length = √((Slant height)² + (1/2 Side length)²

The slant edge length = √(28.11² + (1/2×35)²) = 33.11 m

2) The base angle = tan⁻¹((Slant height)/(1/2 Side length))

The base angle = tan⁻¹(28.11/(1/2×35)) = 58.1°

3) The distance between the center pf the base and the corner of the pyramid is half the length of the base diagonal

The length of the base diagonal = √((Side length)² + (Side length)²)

The length of the base diagonal = √(35² + 35²) = 35·√2

The distance between the center pf the base and the corner of the pyramid = 35·√2/2 = 24.75 cm

4) The area of the side of the pyramid = 1/2×(Side length)× (slant height)

The area of the side of the pyramid = 1/2*35*28.11 = 491.925 m²
