What is the surface area of the square pyramid represented by the net below?
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

64 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Square: 4*4 = 16

Triangles: 4((4*6)/2))

       = 4(24/2)

       = 4(12)

       = 48

Add the square and triangles together

       = 16 + 48

       = 64

The total will be 64 cm^2

62. Height Kirsten places her surveyor's telescope on the top of
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

21 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Height of the tripod above the ground = 5 ft

Elevation = 8°

Distance of the tree from the tripod = 120 ft

Therefore from the figure, we can find the height of the tress as:

$\tan 8 ^\circ = \frac{BC}{AB}$

$0.1405  = \frac{BC}{120}$

∴  BC ≈ 16

Therefore, CE = BC+BE

                        = 16 + 5

                        = 21

Therefore the height of the tree is 21 feet.

Equilateral triangle ABC has a perimeter of 96 millimeters. A perpendicular bisector is drawn from angle A to side BC at point M
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

16 mm  

Step-by-step explanation:

Since ABC is an equilateral triangle, all three sides are the same length.  The perimeter is found by adding together all of these equal sides; letting x represent the length of a side of the triangle, this gives us

x + x + x = 96

Combining like terms,

3x = 96

Dividing both sides by 3,

3x/3 = 96/3

x = 32

Since AM is a perpendicular bisector, it splits BC into two congruent sections. This means the length of MC, half of BC, will be 32/2 = 16.
