The Louvre is an art museum in Paris. A glass square base pyramid sits in front of the entrance to the museum. If the pyramid is

40 meters wide around the square base and has a height of 21 meters, what is the minimum amount of glass needed to construct the pyramid (lateral surface area only)?
Hint: You need to calculate slant height in order to answer this question. Use Pythagorean Theorem.



The minimum amount of glass used for the lateral surface area of the Louvre pyramid is ______ m2.

Answer:

lateral area = 2320 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The question wants us to calculate the lateral area of a square base pyramid. The square base pyramid has a side of 40 meters.The height is 21 meters.

Half of the square base is 40/2 =  20 meters . With the height it forms a right angle triangle. The hypotenuse side is the slant height of the pyramid.

Using Pythagoras's theorem

c² = a² + b²

c² = 20² + 21²

c² = 400 + 441

c² = 841

square root both sides

c = √841

c = 29 meters

The slant height of the pyramid is 29 meters.

The pyramid has four sided triangle. The lateral area is 4 multiply by the area of one triangle.

area of triangle = 1/2 × base × height

base = 40 meters

height = 29 meters

area = 1/2 × 40 × 29

area = 580

area of one triangle = 580 m²

Lateral area = 4(580)

lateral area = 2320 m²

Answer:

The slope is 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Use any two points in the graph to find the slope of the graph
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Step 1. Use two points

Ex: (10, 320) & (5, 200)

Step 2. Find the slope using the two points

m = slope

m = change in y/change in x

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (200 - 320)/(5 - 10)

m = -120/-5

m = 120/5

m = 24

The slope of the graph/line is 24

1. Scientists estimate the rate of the wildebeest running at full speed to be 66 feet per second. Write a function rule to descr
lorasvet [3.4K]

1. d. d = 66t

The maximum speed of the wildebeest is v=66 ft/s. Speed is defined as the ratio between the distance covered (d) and the time taken (t):

v=\frac{d}{t}

Re-arranging the formula, we get

d=vt

And substituting v=66 ft/s, we find

d=66t


2. c. y = 5 - n

In fact, we can check that this rule satisfies all the numbers of the sequence:

n=3 --> y = 5 - 3 = 2

n=4 --> y = 5 - 4 = 1

n=5 --> y = 5 - 5 = 0

n=6 --> y = 5 - 6 = -1


3. d. $5.50, $11.00, $16.50; E = 5.50h

In fact, if we use the rule E=5.50 h, we see that the table is completed as follows:

h=1 --> E=(5.50)(1 h)=5.50$

h=2 --> E=(5.50)(2 h)=11.00 $

h=3 --> E=(5.50)(3 h)=16.50$

h=4 --> E=(5.50)(4 h)=22.00$

h=5 --> E=(5.50)(5 h)=27.50$


4. c. if d ≥ 5 then C = 4.70d, if d < 5 then C = 4.70d - 1; $17.80, $32.90

If the number of days is more than 5, the cost is 4.70$ per day, therefore c=4.70d (where d is the number of days); if the number of days is less than 5, one dollar is returned, so the cost will be C=4.70d-1. By applying this rule, we can calculate the rental cost after d=4 days and d=7 days:

- d=4 --> c=4.70*4-1=17.80$

- d=7 --> c=4.70*7=32.90$


5. b. y = 3x + 3

In fact, we can check this is the correct rule by substituting the numbers:

x=0 --> y=3*0+3=3

x=1 --> y=3*1+3=6

x=2 --> y=3*2+3=9

x=3 --> y=3*3+3=12

x=4 --> y=3*4+3=15


7. x -2 -1 0 1 2

y (-16 ) (-6 ) (4 ) (14 ) (24 )

The rule we have to apply is:

-10x + y = 4

Re-arranging it, we can solve for y:

y = 10x + 4

So, let's substitute the different values of x:

x=-2 --> 10*(-2)+4=-20+4= -16

x=-1 --> 10*(-1)+4=-10+4= -6

x=0 --> 10*0+4= 4

x=1 --> 10*1+4=10+4= 14

x=2 --> 10*2 +4 =20+4 = 24


8. y = -5x - 1

In fact, if substitute the different values of x given by the problem, we find:

x = -2 --> y = -5*(-2) -1= 10 -1 = 9

x = -1 --> y = -5*(-1) -1 = 5 -1 = 4

x = 0 --> y = -5*0 -1 = -1

x = 1 --> y = -5*1 - 1 = -6

x = 2 --> y = -5*2 -1 = -11
