the surface area is 136

you need to subtract the surface area of the base. It is a square pyramid, so both the sides are 4 inches, meaning you need to multiply 4x4 which is 16 and subtract it from the rest of the area. 136-16=120

There are four identical triangles that have identical surface area because it is a square triangle. So you can divide 120 by four to get the area of one of the triangles. 120/4=30

the formula for the area of a triangle is 1/2 base x height. We know that the base is 4 because that is the length that was given to us. so we can plug in our numbers into the formula

30=1/2(4)(height)

30=2(height)

and from there we can solve. 30/2=15

the height of the triangle is 15, which is also the slant height

to check our work, 1/2(4)(15)=30

4x15=60

1/2x60=30

I think when you divide decimals the numbers get bigger but when you divide by a whole number, they get smaller.

3. Is XY Tangent to circle Z?<br> Y<br> 12 X<br> (20<br> Z<br> 18
Ratling [72]

Answer:

XY is a tangent

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

XY = 12

WY = 20

WZ = 8

Required

Is XY a tangent?

XY is a tangent if:

WY^2 = XY^2 + WX^2

Because XY should make a right angle at point X with the circle

Where

WX = 2 * WZ

So, we have:

WY^2 = XY^2 + WX^2

WY^2 = XY^2 + (2*WZ)^2

WY^2 = XY^2 + (2WZ)^2

WY^2 = XY^2 + 4WZ^2

This gives:

20^2 = 12^2 + 4*8^2

400 = 144 + 256

400 = 400

<em>Yes, XY is a tangent</em>

What is the answer of 7 copies of the sum of 8/5 + 4
kotykmax [81]
To solve (8/5 + 4)7, you first have to add 8/5+4.  But you cannot simply add the too because they have to be in a common denominator 'form'.  To do that, we find a common denominator which is 5.  We then multiply 4/1 by 5.
8/5 + 4/1= 8/5 +20/5.
Now you can solve; 8+20= 28.  You leave the denominator as 5.
You get 28/5 and now you have to multiply it by 7/1.  Another of saying 28/5 is 5 3/5.  So 5 3/5 x 7/1= 39 2/10 (final answer)

What is the quotient of the following in simplest form? 5/9 divided by 2/3
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

You write the question as such: 5/9 divided by 2/3.

After that, you keep the first fraction, flip the sign and the fraction.

You will get: 5/9 multiplied by 3/2.

When you get this, you then cross multiply and simplify as such.

5/3 multiplied by 1/2.

5/6 would be your solution.
