Answer:

Surface area of square pyramid is computed as follows:

A = a² + a*√(a² + 4h²)

where <em>a</em> is the base length and <em>h</em> is the height.

If a model of the square pyramid is scaled down by a factor of x, then the surface area will be:

A' = (a/x)² + (a/x)*√[(a/x)² + 4(h/x)²]

A' = a²/x² + a/x * √[a²/x² + 4h²/x²]

A' = a²/x² + a/x * √[(a² + 4h²)/x²]

A' = a²/x² + a/x * √(a² + 4h²)/√x²

A' = a²/x² + a/x² * √(a² + 4h²)

A' = 1/x² * [a² + a*√(a² + 4h²)]

A' = 1/x² * A

That is, the surface area will be 1/x² times the original surface area. If h = 25 ft and a = 15 ft:

A = 15² + 15*√(15² + 4(25)²) =  1008.02 ft²

The factor is not mentioned in the question, nevertheless, the area will be  1008.02/factor² ft²

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

THE FIRST STEP in which he made an error is step 4, instead of subtracting 2x from either side of the equation, he is to add 2x to either side of the equation.

The correct value of x is 3.6

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the given equation, we will follow the steps below;

3 (x-4) = -4 - 2 (x-5)

step 1 : open the parentheses

That is,   3x - 12 = -4 - 2x  + 10

Step 2 : simplify, that is, yo can add the or subtract like terms

hence

3x - 12 = -2x -4 + 10

step 3 :

3x - 12 = -2x + 6

step 4 : Add 2x to both-side of the equations in order to nullify the 2x on the right-hand side of the equation

3x + 2x - 12  = -2x + 2x + 6

step 5:

5x - 12  = 6

step 6:  Add 12 to both-side of the equation

5x - 12 + 12  = 6 + 12

step 7

5x  = 18

Step 8: divide both-side of the equation by   5

5x/5 = 18/5

step 9:

x =3.6

THE FIRST STEP in which he made an error is step 4, instead of subtracting 2x from either side of the equation, he is to add 2x to either side of the equation.

That is why he got the wrong answer.

SCORPION-xisa [38]
Remember this:

Denominator multiplies with the whole number(number on the side) The sum of that plus the numerator will give you the value for the numerator in the improper fraction. The denominator will stay the same.
Now try it on your own!

John shot a toy rocket into the air. Consider the graph below which shows the relationship between the height of the rocket from
EleoNora [17]
<h2>The height of the rocket increases for some time and then decreases for some time.</h2>

The height from the ground increases from 4 to 26, then decreases from 26 to 0.

Why the others are wrong.

A. The height of the rocket changes at a constant rate for the entire time.

The graph is a curve. This means the rate is not constant. If it were constant, the graph would be linear - a straight line.

C. The height of the rocket remains constant for some time.

The graph is a curve. This means the rate is not constant. If it were constant, the graph would be linear - a straight line.

D. The height of the rocket decreases for some time and then increases for some time.

This implies the graph decreases first then increases. However, the rocket will increase, then decrease.
