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

What type of triangle is triangle ABC give reasons for your answer help please I need 1 more mark But I don't know what I'm doin
ladessa [460]

Answer: isosceles

Step-by-step explanation:

By the alternate interior angles theorem, \angle CAB=50^{\circ}

Since angles in a triangle add to 180 degrees, \angle ACB=180^{\circ}-80^{\circ}-50^{\circ}=50^{\circ}

Since sides opposite equal angles in a triangle are equal, AB=BC.

So, triangle ABC is <u>isosceles</u>

Cuanto es un <br> feet en ce centimetros

How much is 1 foot in 1 centimeters?
First we need to know:
1 foot = 12 inches
1 inch = 2.54 cm
Those are the things that we need to know beforehand.

Then, we can start converting.
= 1 ft * (12 in / 1 ft) * (2.54 cm / 1in)
= 30.48 cm

So 1 foot is just equal to 30.48 cm

Lamar hikes Trail B, which is 2 1/2. He stops every 5/6. How many stops does he make?
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation, you need to convert 2 1/2 into an improper fraction:

2 1/2 = 5/2

Then, you convert this into 6ths:

5/2 = 15/6

Next, you divide 15/6 by 5/6:

15/6 / 5/6 = 3

Because Jamal wouldn't make a stop at the end (it wouldn't be considered a stop because he is done), you subtract 1:

3-1=2

The answer is 2 (hope this helps, sorry if i got it wrong)
