N-5=m
6m-3n=3
6(n-5)-3n=3
6n-30-3n=3
3n=33

PLEASE explain this, I'm so lost. 25 points! What is the area of the base of the pyramid? Enter your answer in the box. Express
stepladder [879]
To find the area of the triangle shown we have to find the length of a and the base.

a can be found using the sine function. Recall sin = (opp)/(hyp)

Here sin 60 =  \frac{a}{8} 

\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2}= \frac{a}{8}  

2a=8 \sqrt{3}
a=4 \sqrt{3}

The base can be found using the sin of 30 degrees as this is a 30-60-90 right triangle.
sin30= \frac{b}{8}
\ \frac{1}{2} = \frac{b}{8}
b=4

The area of the triangle in the picture is given by A=( \frac{1}{2} )bh= (\frac{1}{2})(4)( \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} )= \sqrt{3}.

The base of the pyramid is a hexagon which can be divided into 6 triangles each of which is double the area of the one we just found. So the area of the base = 2(area of the triangle we found)(6) = 12 \sqrt{3}
