Did the question get cut off?
a = -(1/5)
b = 1
c = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
y = x/5 may be rewritten as y = (1/5)x
y = (1/5)x
y - (1/5)x = 0
- (1/5)x + y + 0 = 0
ax + by + c = 0
a = -(1/5)
b = 1
c = 0
"Product" signifies multiplication, and "half" means divide by two (or multiply by 1/2). So half the product of b and c is (bc)/2 or (1/2)(bc).
Pyramid Surface Area = (½ * Perimeter of Base * Slant Height) + Base Area
Base perimeter = 4 * 18 = 72 inches
Base Area = 18*18 = 324 square inches
Pyramid Surface Area = (.5 * 72 * 12) + 324
Pyramid Surface Area = 432 + 324
Pyramid Surface Area = 756 square inches
