Find the total surface area of the following pyramids: A regular triangular pyramid has base edges of length 30 and height 10.

Mathematics

Answer:

1130 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

SA = sum of area of 4 triangles.

All sides equal means it's an equlateral triangle, which has all angles 60)

1 in the base:

A1 = ½(30)(30)sin(60) = 225sqrt(3)

3 slant triangles:

base = 30

Height to be obtained using pythagoras theorem:

Perpendcular distance of the edge from the mid of the base = ½(distance of one vertex from the midpoint of the opposite edge)

Let the distance of a vertex form the midpoint of the edge opposite to it 'd'

30² = 15² + d²

d² = 675

d = 15sqrt(3)

d/2 = 15sqrt(3)/2

height² = 10² + [15sqrt(3)/2]²

height² = 268.75

height = sqrt(268.75) = 16.4

Area of 1 slant triangle:

A2 = ½(30)(16.4) = 246

SA = A1 + 3 A2

= 225sqrt(3) + 3(246)

= 1127.7 units²

= 1130 units² (3sf)

Which is the equation of a line that has a slope of -2/3 and passes through point (-3,-1)?
Fantom [35]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

You have to use Point Slope Form:

  • y - Y1 = m (x - X1)
  • m is the slope
  • Y1 & X1 is a point on the line
  • The form allows you to identify the slope & the point on the line

About Problem:

  • Since -2/3 is the slope, it represents m in y - Y1 = m (x - X1) form.
  • -3 represents X1 in y - Y1 = m (x - X1) form
  • -1 represents Y1  in y - Y1 = m (x - X1) form

y - Y1 = m (x - X1)

y - -1 = -2/3 (x - -3)  ---- This is in Point Slope Form

If you want to solve it, & put it in Slope Intercept form, it would look like this:

y = mx + b

y = -2/3 - 2 --- This is in Slope intercept Form.... I might've solved it wrong... I'm not sure...


Really really sorry if I'm incorrect...

Sonja [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

m is number of miles

A: 45+0.21m (45 is the initial cost)

B: 28+0.38m (28 is the initial cost)

To know how in many miles the cost will be equal,

45+0.21m=28+0.38m

0.38m-0.21m=45-28

0.17m=17

m=17/0.17 = 100

So, at 100 miles the cost will be same for company A and B.

The lines below are parallel. If the slope of the green line is -3, what is the
siniylev [52]

Answer:

m=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the lines are parallel to each other, their gradients are equal.

∴ gradient of green line = gradient of red line

∴ m = -3

4. Look at the figure below.<br><br> Are triangles ABC and DEF congruent? Explain why or why not.
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

You see that angle D and angle A are congruent, and you see that angle C and angle F are congruent. In addition, line AC is congruent to DF. This means that yes, those triangles are congruent because of the ASA postulate.
