So the picture below shows what the slant height is. It also shows that the pyramid can form a right triangle, in which we can use the pythagorean theorem, which is leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2 .

But first, we have to find the height of this pyramid. The volume formula for a square pyramid is A=\frac{lwh}{3} . Since we know its a square pyramid, the length and width are going to be the same (12 ft), and we know that the volume is 432 ft^3. Using this info, we can solve for the height:

432=\frac{12*12*h}{3}\\ 1296=12*12*h\\ 1296=144*h\\ 9=h

So now we can use the pythagorean theorem (remember to split the 12 by 2, since the right triangle has only half the length of the base). Our equation will be solved as such:

6^2+9^2=s^2\\ 36+81=s^2\\ 117=s^2\\ 10.8=s

In short, the slant height is 10.8 ft.

(1/12)^-2b•12^-2b+2=12?
Anvisha [2.4K]

Step-by-step explanation:

(1/12)^-2b x 12^-2b+2=12

12^-(-2b) x 12^-2b+2=12

12^2b+(-2b+12)=12

2b-2b+12=12

=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given , Kairi spent $40 .18 no CDs. The sale tax was $2.33.Kairi also used a coupon for $1.00 0ff his purchase.

Total cost price of The CDs is = $(40+2.33-1.00)

                                                =$41.33

Therefore the cost of each CD is =$(41.33÷18)

                                                       =$2.30
