Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) ∠WVZ and ∠VWX are right angles & VX = = WZ Given
2) WV = VW Reflexive property
3) ΔWVZ ≅ ΔVWX HL
4) ∠Z = ∠X CPCT
CPCT --> Corresponding parts of congruent triangle.
The two lines will intersect at the point (7, 7)
We have the base measurement for the triangles composing the sides. We need their altitude.
Imagine a right triangle with these sides:
(1) from the apex of the pyramid to the point on the base directly underneath it (471 ft);
(2) from the middle of base edge to the point underneath the apex (half of 708 ft = 354 ft);
(3) the hypotenuse, the altitude of a triangular side.
Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we find the hypotenuse to be
√(471^2 + 354^2) = about 589.2 feet
Now we add up the four triangles' areas. Each is base * altitude / 2, so:
4 x 708 x 589.2 / 2
= 2 x 708 x 589.2
= 834,307.2 square feet, the lateral area.
I would say 15/3= 5 because they are really close
