The surface area of a square pyramid is 136 square inches. The base length is 4 inches. What is the slant height? please help!

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

One-stray Problem Solving
anygoal [31]
A) 5000 m²
b) A(x) = x(200 -2x)
c) 0 < x < 100
Step-by-step explanation:
b) The remaining fence, after the two sides of length x are fenced, is 200-2x. That is the length of the side parallel to the building. The product of the lengths parallel and perpendicular to the building is the area of the playground:
A(x) = x(200 -2x)
__
a) A(50) = 50(200 -2·50) = 50·100 = 5000 . . . . m²
__
c) The equation makes no sense if either length (x or 200-2x) is negative, so a reasonable domain is (0, 100). For x=0 or x=100, the playground area is zero, so we're not concerned with those cases, either. Those endpoints could be included in the domain if you like.

Solve the equation p^2 + 4p = 1 by completing the square.
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

p = -2 ±sqrt( 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

p^2 + 4p = 1

Take the coefficient of p

4

Divide by 2

4/2 =2

Square it

2^2 = 4

Add it to each side

p^2 + 4p+4 = 1+4

(p+2) ^2 = 5

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((p+2) ^2) =±sqrt( 5)

p+2 = ±sqrt( 5)

Subtract 2 from each side

p+2-2 = -2 ±sqrt( 5)

p = -2 ±sqrt( 5)

TIME REMAINING
erik [133]

Answer:

$1,131.20 is the amount earned

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Key skills needed: Simple Interest Formula, Operations ( +, - , x , / )</u>

1) To understand this problem, you need to know the simple interest formula.

A = P(1+rt)

A is the amount

P is the principal

R is the interest rate as a decimal

T is the time in years

2) The 1st thing we need to do is convert the interest rate into a decimal. We have 14%. To convert into decimal form, we divide it by a 100, or move the decimal 2 places to the left. This is 0.14 --> So r=0.14

3) Next we use the formula:

A = 1,010(1+ 0.14(8))

  1. We first do 0.14(8) which is 1.12 and then add it to the 1 value, so you will get --> A = 1,010(2.12)
  2. Multiply and you will get A = $2,141.20
  3. To find the interest earned, you subtract this by the original amount, so $2,141.20 - $1,010 which would be $1,131.20

This means $1,131.20 is your answer.

<em>Hope you understood and have a nice day!! :D</em>
