Answer:
55.5 u^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Split the quadrilateral into 2 triangles. There are two ways to do this, but I'm only doing one of them.
On the 5-11 triangle, use the two of the lengths and plug them into the triangle area formula. (L x W)/2 = A
5-11 triangle area: 27.5
Do the same for the 7-8 triangle. Plug it into the same formula.
7-8 triangle area: 28
Add the two areas. 27.5 + 28 = 55.5
Answer:
1 and 31
Step-by-step explanation:
They both divide by it's self to get the same number.
Answer:
X = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a square pyramid is (1/3)(area of base)(height of pyramid).
Here the area of the base is (10 ft)^2 = 100 ft^2.
13 ft is the height of one of the triangular sides, but not the height of the pyramid. To find the latter, draw another triangle whose upper vertex is connected to the middle of one of the four equal sides of the base by a diagonal of length 13 ft. That "middle" is 5 units straight down from the upper vertex. Thus, you have a triangle with known hypotenuse (13 ft) and known opposite side 5 feet (half of 10 ft). What is the height of the pyramid?
To find this, use the Pyth. Thm.: (5 ft)^2 + y^2 = (13 ft)^2. y = 12 ft.
Then the vol. of the pyramid is (1/3)(area of base)(height of pyramid) =
(1/3)(100 ft^2)(12 ft) = 400 ft^3 (answer)
