A square pyramid has a base with an area of 20 square meters, and its lateral faces have a slant height of x meters. Sydney is c

onstructing a second square pyramid with the same size base, but the lateral faces of her pyramid have a slant height twice as long, 2x. Which statement best describes how the surface area of Sydney’s pyramid compares to the surface area of the original pyramid?

Answer:

The answer is D, "Sydney's pyramid will have a surface area that is greater than the original pyramid's but not double the area because the slant height is not used when finding the area of the base." (Just took the test)

1. Consider the pyramid ABCDE in the figure 1 attached:

Each side of the square base equals \sqrt{20} = \sqrt{4*5} = \sqrt{4}* \sqrt{5}=2 \sqrt{5} (units)

Area of 1 lateral side of pyramid ABCDE is \frac{1}{2}* 2 \sqrt{5}*x=\sqrt{5}x

so the total lateral area is 4\sqrt{5}x (units squared)

and the total surface area is 20+4\sqrt{5}x (units squared)

2. Now consider the second figure KLMNP, Sydney's pyramid:

The lateral area is 4* \frac{1}{2}* 4 \sqrt{5} *2x=16 \sqrt{5}x

so the total area of the second pyramid is 20+16 \sqrt{5}x

So 2 things can be said about the areas:

i) the lateral area of Sydney's pyramid is \frac{16 \sqrt{5}x}{4\sqrt{5}x} =4 times larger than the lateral area of the original pyramid.

ii) The total area of Sydney's pyramid is (20+16 \sqrt{5}x)-(20+4\sqrt{5}x)=12\sqrt{5}x units squared larger than the total area of the original pyramid.

➷ Substitute in the value:

840 - 52.5(14) = 105

Since e(14) = 105, the elevation of the cable car would be 105 meters from the ground 14 minutes after it begins descending  from the top of the hill

In the algebraic expression 7/y why is coefficient of y? Explain.
dybincka [34]

Answer:

7 is the (constant) coefficient of 1/y, but no, it is not the coefficient of y

Step-by-step explanation:

7/y can be rewritten as 7(1/y) or as 7(y^[-1]).  In this case, yes, 7 is the (constant) coefficient of 1/y, but no, it is not the coefficient of y.
