Answer:

Lateral surface area of pyramid is 768 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Pyramid with Square base.

           Side of square = 24 cm

           Slant height = 16 cm

To find: Lateral surface area of pyramid

Figure of pyramid is attached.

Pyramid with square base has triangle in sides.

∴Lateral surface are of Pyramid = sum of area of all triangles

slant height of pyramid becomes height of triangle and side of square becomes base of triangle. Also all traingle are on equal side so, they have equal area.

Area of triangle =\frac{1}{2}\timesbase\timesheight

⇒ Lateral surface area of pyramid = 4 × area of triangle

Lateral surface area of triangle = 4\times\frac{1}{2}\timesbase\timesheight

Base of triangle, AB = 24 cm and Height of triangle, OM = 16 cm

putting these value we get,

Lateral Area of Pyramid = 4\times\frac{1}{2}\times24\times16

                                       = 768 cm^2

Therefore, Lateral surface area of pyramid is 768 cm^2

Check the picture below.

the "lateral" area, or "sides" area, is just the area of all the four triangular faces, and it doesn't include the bottom or base of the pyramid.

however, notice, each triangular face is really just a triangle with a base of 24, and a height of 16.

\bf \left[\frac{1}{2}(\stackrel{b}{24})(\stackrel{h}{16}) \right]+\left[\frac{1}{2}(\stackrel{b}{24})(\stackrel{h}{16}) \right]+\left[\frac{1}{2}(\stackrel{b}{24})(\stackrel{h}{16}) \right]+\left[\frac{1}{2}(\stackrel{b}{24})(\stackrel{h}{16}) \right]
\\\\\\
\textit{or just }\qquad 4\left[\frac{1}{2}(\stackrel{b}{24})(\stackrel{h}{16}) \right]\impliedby \textit{lateral area of the pyramid}

The net of a square pyramid is shown below: Net of a square pyramid showing 4 triangles and the square base. The square base has
Neko [114]

Given:

The dimensions:

Square pyramid

Square base: 2x2

1 out of 4 triangles: 1/2x2x5

4 triangles: 2x2x5

To find:

The SURFACE AREA of the square pyramid

Find answer:

Step 1

Find the area of the square base -

Square base:

SA = L x W

= 2 x 2

= 4

<em>The surface area of the square is 4 square inches</em>

<em></em>

Step 2

Find the area of the 4 Triangles:

We will use a different formula here, to find 1 triangle, we will have to do:

SA = \frac{1}{2} *B*H

To find 2 triangles, we will do:

SA = B*H

But to find 4 triangles in just 1 step, we will do:

SA=2*B*H

Let's do it!

SA = 2*2*5\\=2*10\\=20

<em>The surface area of the 4 triangles are 20 square inches</em>

<em></em>

Step 3

Add answers to get FINAL ANSWER

Easy!

20+4=24

<h2>Hence, the Surface Area of the Square Pyramid is 24 square inches</h2>

Find the area of an equilateral triangle with radius 22 cm. Round to the nearest whole number.
earnstyle [38]

Answer:this item, we are given with the radius equal to 22 cm.

In this measurement of the radius is the hypotenuse of the 30°-60°-90° triangle formed with the half the measurement of the side of the equilateral triangle being opposite to the 60°  and equal to the hypotenuse times (1/2)(√3)

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let s be the side of the triangle then,

                 s/2 = r(1/2)(√3)

Multiplying the equation by 2,

                 s = r√3

Substituting,

              s = (22 cm)(√3) = 22√3

The area of the equilateral triangle is computed through the equation,

         A = (√3 / 4)(s²)

Substituting,

         A = (√3 / 4)(22√3)² = 628.7 cm²

Therefore, the answer to this item is the first choice.

5/8 + 3/4 -2/3 - 5\6​
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

5/8+3/4-2/3-5/6

= ( 5/8 + 3/4 ) - ( 2/3 + 3/4)

= ( 11/8) - (17 /12)

= 11/8 - 17/12

= 33-34 /24

= -1/24 (ans)

Hope it helps
