1) Take the perimeter and divide it by 4.
2) Take the answer from step 1 and square it (multiply by itself)

It's simple. If you know the perimeter of a square, just divide by 4 due to the 4 sides making the perimeter up. Now you have the length of just one side. Area = l*w or in this case s^2, so just multiply the side by itself and you have the area of a square!

The diagram shows a 9cm x 7cm rectangle-based pyramid. all the diagonal sides - TA, TB, TC, AND TD- are length 12cm. M is the mi

Answer:

∠TAC is approximately equal to 61.6°

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters for the pyramid are;

The dimension for the rectangular base are; Length = 9 cm, width = 7 cm

The length of the diagonal sides, TA, TB, TC, and TD = 12 cm each

The midpoint of the rectangular base = Point M

The diagonal AC = AM + MC

AM = MC as given M is the midpoint of the rectangular base

∴ AC = AM + MC = 2·AM

By Pythagoras' theorem, AC = √(9² + 7²) = √130

AC = √130 cm

∴ AM = AC/2 = (√130)/2 cm

Alternatively, AM = √((9/2 cm)² + (7/2 cm)²) = √(32.5) cm

∠TAC = ∠TAM

By trigonometric ratios, we have;

$cos (\theta) = \dfrac{Length \ of \ adjacent \ side \ to \ angle }{Length \ of \ hypotenuse\ side \ to \ angle}$

$\therefore cos (\angle TAM) = cos (\angle TAC) = \dfrac{\left (\dfrac{\sqrt{130} }{2} \right )}{12} = \dfrac{\sqrt{130} }{2 \times 12} = \dfrac{\sqrt{130} }{24}$
