A regular octagonal pyramid has a base edge of 3m and a lateral area of 60m^2. Find its slant height.

1 answer:

4 0

Octagon = 8-side polygon

Find area of 1 triangle:
Area of one side triangle = 60 ÷ 8 = 7.5 m²

Given area and length, find height:
Area of each triangle = 7.6 m²
Length of each triangle = 3m

Area = 1/2 x base x height
7.5 = 1/2 x 3 x height
Heigth = 5m

Answer: Slanted Height = 5 m

Find the value of x in the triangle shown below. 13 5 х

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle, so the Pythagorean theorem can be used. The Pythagorean theorem states that $C^2=a^2+b^2$ where C is the hypotenuse and a and b are legs. In this question, we are given a and C. So, plugin 13 for C and 5 for a and solve for b. Once you rearrange the equation you get, $b=\sqrt{13^2-5^2}$ . Next, solve what is under the root to get, $b=\sqrt{144}$ . Finally, square root 144 for the final answer b=12.
