How to find the surface area of a regular pyramid?

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

Pls dont write silly things or ill report. which number in each set is not a factor of the given number:
Allisa [31]

Answer:

a.(4)

b.(45)

Step-by-step explanation:

A factor is a number that divides perfectly without any remainder so you can try to divide each.

For example:

-14/2=7(it's a factor of 14)

-14/4=3.5(it's not factor of 14)

Ket [755]

Answer:

10 rides

Step-by-step explanation:

Make an equation.

25 + 2x = 35 + 1x

Subract 1x from the 2x to get 1.

New Equation: 25 + 1x = 35

Subtract 25 from 35 to get 10.

New Equation: 1x = 10

Divide 1 from both sides.

Answer: 10 rides

Answer:

84

Step-by-step explanation:

The interquartile range is obtained using the relation :

Third quartile (Q3). - First quartile (Q1)

From. The boxplot :

Q3 = 96

Q1 = 12

Interquartile range (IQR) = Q3 - Q1 = 96 - 12 = 84
