Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The lateral area of the figure is given by
where
P is the perimeter of the base (larger faces)
h is the height
Find the perimeter of the base P
we have
substitute in the formula of lateral area
The answer is A. I just finished the test.
A because there is a difference between a expression and equation. Expressions don’t have a equal sign or an answer. But equations have an equal sign and an answer. So because everything else has an answer or equal sign, the correct answer would be A. Hope this helps!
We have the base measurement for the triangles composing the sides. We need their altitude.
Imagine a right triangle with these sides:
(1) from the apex of the pyramid to the point on the base directly underneath it (471 ft);
(2) from the middle of base edge to the point underneath the apex (half of 708 ft = 354 ft);
(3) the hypotenuse, the altitude of a triangular side.
Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we find the hypotenuse to be
√(471^2 + 354^2) = about 589.2 feet
Now we add up the four triangles' areas. Each is base * altitude / 2, so:
4 x 708 x 589.2 / 2
= 2 x 708 x 589.2
= 834,307.2 square feet, the lateral area.
The answer is d. angles 8 and 16
