Find the lateral area for the pyramid with the equilateral base.
2 answers:
Answer:
Option A is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The given pyramid has 3 lateral triangular side as shown below.
Base of triangle = 12 unit
We need to find perpendicular.
By Pythagoras theorem we have
Perpendicular² = 10²-6²
Perpendicular = 8 unit
So area of 1 lateral triangle = 1/2 x Base x Perpendicular.
= 1/2 x 12 x 8 = 48 unit²
Area of lateral side = 3 x 48 = 144 unit²
Option A is the correct answer.

Answer:
The solution is: x = -1, and y = 8/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that the system of equations can be easily solved via the "elimination" method, by subtracting term by term one equation from the other. Doing such will remove completely the term in "y" (since the terms in "y" are exactly equal in both equations), and leave only an equation containing "x", for which the value can be solved:
Now we use this x-value in either equation to solve for y:
