Answer:

S=\dfrac{ns^2}{4}\left(\cot{\left(\dfrac{180^{\circ}}{n}\right)}+\sqrt{3}\right)

Step-by-step explanation:

A "regular pyramid" is a pyramid whose base is a regular polygon and whose edges are all the same length. Thus each face is an equilateral triangle.

A hexagonal regular pyramid will look like a hexagonal pancake, as the vertical height of it will be zero. A regular pyramid with 7 or more faces cannot exist, because the apexes of the triangular faces cannot meet at a point.

__

For an edge length of "s", the area of each triangular face is (√3)/4×s². There are n of those faces, so the lateral area (LA) will be ...

   LA = ns²(√3)/4

The area of the regular polygon base will be the product of half its perimeter and the length of its apothem (a). The apothem is ...

  a = (s/2)cot(180°/n)

So, the area of the base (BA) is ...

  BA = (1/2)(ns)(s/2)cot(180°/n) = ns²cot(180°/n)/4

The total surface area of the regular pyramid is then ...

  S = BA + LA

  S = (ns²/4)(cot(180°/n) +√3) . . . . for edge length s and n faces (3≤n≤5)

Step-by-step explanation:

l \times w + l \sqrt{( \frac{w}{2}) ^{2}  +  {h}^{2}  }  + w \times  \sqrt{( \frac{l}{2} )^{2} +  {h}^{2}  }

L = length base

w = width base

h = height

zysi [14]

Answer:

157 m^{3}

Explanation:

Volume = 1/3(area of base) times height. 1/3(PI X R(squared)) X height. 1/3 x 3.14 x 25 x 6 = 157

Which relation is a function?<br> Question 3 options:
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

A function is a relation in which each input has only one output. In the relation , y is a function of x, because for each input x (1, 2, 3, or 0), there is only one output y. x is not a function of y, because the input y = 3 has multiple outputs: x = 1 and x = 2.

I hope it's helpful!

Replace each * with a number to make */24 &gt; 1/4&gt; 4/* a true statement
zzz [600]

Answer:

first * can be any number greater than 6

second * can be any number larger than 16

Step-by-step explanation:

take each part alone:

  • */24 > 1/4

multiply by 24 in both sides → * > 6

  • 1/4 > 4/*

multiply by 4 in both sides → 1 > 16/*

take * to first side → * > 16

there is no specific answers you can go with 8 and 18
