Find the surface area of a pyramid with base sides of 2.5 inches and a slant height of 3 inches.

Hello!

The formula to find the surface area of a pyramid is as follows: 
\frac{1}{2} pl + B 

In this formula p represents the perimeter of the pyramid's base, l is the slant height, and B is the area of the base. 

So, we know that the length of the base sides is 2.5 inches and the slant height (or l) is 3 inches. 

The first thing we can do is solve for p or the perimeter of the base. To find the perimeter, you can either add up each of the sides or since it's a square just multiply the side length by 4; both of these options will give you the same answer. 
2.5+2.5+2.5+2.5 = 10       2.5*4 = 10
So, we now know that p = 10 inches. 

Next, we can solve for B or the area of the base. To do this, we take the length of the base * the width of the base, or in this case just 2.5*2.5; this gives us 6.25 inches
We now have the value of B which is 6.25 inches. 

Now that we have all the elements, we can plug the values into the formula! 

So, the formula originally is \frac{1}{2} pl + B and with the values we just found plugged in it becomes \frac{1}{2} (10)(3) + (6.25). 

And now all we have to do is solve! 
\frac{1}{2} (10)(3) + (6.25)
\frac{1}{2} (30) + (6.25). 
15 + (6.25). 
21.25

And there you have it! The surface area of a pyramid with base sides of 2.5 inches and a slant height of 3 inches is 21.25 inches. 

Hope you find this helpful!

The percent off the store should display is 27.0%

  • The initial percent off given to Matt = 20%
  • The additional percent off given to Matt = 7%

The percent off the store should display is the total percent off given to their product. That is, the addition of the first and second percent off.

The total percent off the store gave to Matt is calculated as;

= 20% + 7%

= 27%

To the nearest tenth of a percent = 27.0%

Thus, the percent off the store should display is 27.0%

1. Mr.Customs is correcting the class’s math homework on customary units. Which of the following measurements is reasonable?
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

The reasonable measurement in question 1 is D - the distance from New York to California is 2,250 miles.  The best unit of measurement for the length of the distance of your textbook is A - inch.  

Step-by-step explanation:

The United States uses the Imperial System of measurement which uses things such as inches, feet, yards and miles.  In order to understand reasonable measurements, you need to first realize the order in which size would be determined.  For instance, 12 inches is equal to one foot, which can be found on your typical ruler.  Additionally, three feet is equal to one yard, which we can find on a yard stick.  Lastly, there are 1,760 yards in one mile, which is typically measured with some time of pedometer/odometer.  So, when you think about calculating measurement for common things such as a pencil or distance between cities, think about whether this distance could be measured using a ruler or perhaps the odometer on a car.
