Answer:
(a) = 11 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for finding the surface area of a regular pyramid is B + (1/2*P*l), with B being the area of the base, p being the perimeter of the base, and l being the slant of the pyramid.
The area of a pentagon can be solved using the formula 1/2*a*p, with a being the apothem and p being the perimeter of the pentagon.
- B + (1/2*80*15) = 1040
- B + 600 = 1040
- 1040 - 600 = 440 (440 is the area of pentagon)
- 1/2*a*(16*5) = 440
- 40*a = 440
- 440/40 = 11
The apothem is 11 cm. Hope this helps!
Answer: The answer is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
3j + 4 = 10 J = 2
3x2=6
6+4= 10
They are the same because 14 is 2*7 and 21 is 3*7.
Answer:
<em>Bethany did not do better than Richie because her average score was less than his.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Average Value</u>
The average or mean value of m successes out of n tries is given by:

During a practice session playing basketball, Richie made m=12 free throws from n=15 attempts. His average score was:

Bethany made 8 free throws for every 3 that she missed, this means she made 8 out of 11 attempts. Her average score was:

Bethany did not do better than Richie because her average score was less than his.
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² - 3x - 40 = 0
Consider the factors of the constant term (- 40) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 3)
The factors are - 8 and + 5, since
- 8 × 5 = - 40 and - 8 + 5 = - 3, thus
(x - 8)(x + 5) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 8 = 0 ⇒ x = 8
x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5
------------------------------------------------------
Given
4x² - 81 = 0 ← this is a difference of squares and factors in general as
a² - b² = (a + b)(a - b), thus
4x² - 81
=(2x)² - 9²
= (2x + 9)(2x - 9) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
2x + 9 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 9 ⇒ x = - 
2x - 9 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 9 ⇒ x =
