Answer:
6.83 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the height of the original pyramid be represented by h. Then the cut off top has a height of (h -2). The scale factor for the area is the square of the scale factor for height, so we have ...
(height ratio)^2 = 1/2
((h -2)/h)^2 = 1/2
(h -2)√2 = h . . . . . . square root; multiply by h√2
h(√2 -1) = 2√2 . . . . add 2√2 -h
h = (2√2)/(√2 -1) ≈ 6.8284 . . . units
The altitude of the original pyramid is about 6.83 units.

Answer:
x=12
Step-by-step explanation:
The right side is a right triangle
The base is 1/2 of the bottom or 5
The height is x and the hypotenuse is 13
We can use the Pythagorean theorem
a^2 +b^2 = c^2
5^2 +x^2=13^2
25+x^2 = 169
Subtract 25 from each side
25-25+x^2 = 169-26
x^2 =144
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(144)
x= 12
Answer:
i'm not sure but i think the answer is D
Step-by-step explanation:
the answer will be either A or D because the shape of the graph shows that the value of a is negative
To find the slope you use the equation:
m = (y₂-y₁) ÷ (x₂-x₁)
You plug in the two points into this equation to find m (m is the slope)
m = (1 - 0) ÷ (0 - 2)
m = 1 ÷ (-2)
m = - 1/2
Next you use this equation:
y = mx + b
Because you know m you plug it in.
y = -1/2x + b
Now you need to find b. To do so you plug in either of the points into this equation(you come out with the same answer for b)
y = -1/2x + b
1 = -1/2(0) + b
1 = b
Finally you plug in b and you get your new equation.
y = -1/2x + 1
