To find the slant height we must take apart the pyramid first. Let us cut it in half. There we can easily see that the slant height is really just the hypotenuse of the triangle formed by half the base and the altitude.

Half the base length would be 6 cm.

Using the Pythagorean therom:

a² + b² = c²
6² + 8² = c²
36 + 64 = c²
100 = c²
c = 10

The slant height should be 10 cm. Hope this helps!

How can the quotient of powers law be used to show that a negative exponent is equivalent to the reciprocal
Kay [80]

Answer:Thus,  (-3)-4 = 1/(-3)4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Negative exponents have the following property:   n-m = 1/nm   OR   1/n-m = nm

So for  (-3)-4 ,  n= -3 and -m= -4 (or m= 4).

Thus,  (-3)-4 = 1/(-3)4.

Leticia charges $8 per hour to babysit. She babysat Friday night for 4 hours,
Dmitriy789 [7]

For this case we have that the variable "x" represents the number of hours that Leticia uses to take care of children on Saturday.

IF on Friday I use 4 hours ($ 8 each) and on Saturday "x" hours ($ 8 each) obtaining a profit of $ 72, we have the following equation:

8 (4 + x) = 72

We apply distributive property:

32 + 8x = 72\\8x = 72-32\\8x = 40\\x = \frac {40} {8}\\x = 5

So, on Saturday she spent 5 hours.

Answer:

8 (4 + x) = 72\\x = 5
