Your answer would be B.
The triangles would be congruent, because the lines GH and FI are congruent and the angle H and I are the same, and since the line HI is shared by the two, it would then be SAS.
Answer:
8 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the statement we have that they first made two identical square pyramids, each with a base area of 100 square inches.
Ab = s ^ 2 = 100
Therefore each side would be:
s = (100) ^ (1/2)
s = 10
So, side of the square base = 10 inches
Then they tell us that they glued the bases of the pyramids together to form the precious stone. The surface area of the gemstone is 520 square inches, so for a single pyramid it would be:
Ap = 520/2 = 260
For an area of the square pyramid we have the following equation:
Ap = 2 * x * s + s ^ 2
Where x is the height of each triangular surface and s is the side of the square base
Replacing we have:
260 = 2 * x * 10 + 10 ^ 2
20 * x + 100 = 260
20 * x = 160
x = 160/20
x = 8
Therefore, the value of x is 8 inches.
