Answer:

0.2 < x < 11.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle inequality theorem states that the sum of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side, for it to form a triangle. So, we can set up 3 equations, x + 5.8 > 6, 5.8 + 6 > x, and x + 6 > 5.8. This solves out to x > 0.2, x < 11.8, and x > -0.2. We can disregard that last one, because a side can't be negative. Therefore, we know the possible range of values for x.

I hope I could be of help! Please give brainliest!

Answer:

V = 1,568

Step-by-step explanation:

The Volume of a Square Pyramid

Given a square-based pyramid of base side a and height h, the volume can be calculated with the formula:

$\displaystyle V=\frac{1}{3}a^2h$

We are given a square pyramid with a base side a=14 ft but we're missing the height. It can be calculated by using the right triangle shown in the image attached below, whose hypotenuse is 25 ft and one leg is 7 ft

We use Pythagora's theorem:

$25^2=h^2+7^2$
