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.

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The margin of error is given below:

E=z \times \sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p}}{n} }

Where:

\hat{p}=\frac{26}{80}=0.325

\therefore E = z \times \sqrt{\frac{0.325(1-0.325}{80} }

                           =z \times 0.0523659

Therefore, the option E = z*6% is correct as it closest to the given answer

The diameter of a circle is 20 ft. Find its area in terms of T.
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

314.2ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Diameter= 20ft

Radius r= 20/2= 10ft

The expression for the area is

A= πr^2

A= 3.142*10^2

A= 3.142*100

A= 314.2ft^2

Hence the area is 314.2ft^2

Slope of the line that passes through (3, -11) and (0, 4), please!
Lorico [155]

Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

slope formula= \frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2}

slope of line

=  \frac{4 - ( - 11)}{0 - 3}  \\  =  \frac{4 + 11}{ - 3}  \\  =  \frac{15}{ - 3}  \\  =   - 5

What is f(5) if f(1) = 3. 2 and f(x 1) = Five-halves(f(x))?
stealth61 [152]

Function assign value from one set to another. The value of f(5), if f(1) = 3.2 and f(x+1) = Five-halves(f(x)) is 125.

<h3>What is Function?</h3>

A function assigns the value of each element of one set to the other specific element of another set.

As it is given the value of the function f(1) is 3.2, while the value of f(x+1) is f(x+1) = \dfrac{5}{2}[f(x)], therefore, in order to find the value of f(5), we need to calculate the value of f(4).

f(2)

f(x+1) = \dfrac{5}{2}[f(x)]\\\\f(2)=f(1+1) = \dfrac{5}{2}[f(1)]\\\\f(2) = 2.5 \times 3.2\\\\f(2) = 8

f(3)

f(x+1) = \dfrac{5}{2}[f(x)]\\\\f(3)=f(2+1) = \dfrac{5}{2}[f(2)]\\\\f(3) = 2.5 \times 8\\\\f(3) = 20

f(4)

f(x+1) = \dfrac{5}{2}[f(x)]\\\\f(4)=f(3+1) = \dfrac{5}{2}[f(3)]\\\\f(4) = 2.5 \times 20\\\\f(4) = 50

f(5)

f(x+1) = \dfrac{5}{2}[f(x)]\\\\f(5)=f(4+1) = \dfrac{5}{2}[f(4)]\\\\f(5) = 2.5 \times 50\\\\f(5) = 125

Hence, the value of f(5), if f(1) = 3. 2 and f(x+1) = Five-halves(f(x)) is 125.
