Answer:

x=4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

x=smallest side

4x=hypotenuse

4√15=third side

use the Pythagorean Theorem

(4x)^2=x^2+(4√15)^2

16x^2=x^2+240

16x^2-x^2=240

15x^2=240

x^2=240/15

x^2=16

x=√16

x=4 cm is the smallest side

the hypotenuse is 16 cm

the third side is 4√15 cm

Gideon is painting all sides of a square pyramid-shaped decoration at the top of his fence post. A net of the decoration is show
frez [133]
Gideon is painting all sides thus we find the overall area of the square pyramid given in the picture. A square pyramid is a polyhedron that consists of a square and 4 triangles. To solve the area that Gideon will have to paint, we can calculate the area of the square and the area of the triangles then add these two values of area. We proceed as follows:
Area of the square = s^2 where s is the measure of the side
Area of the square = 4^2 = 16 in^2

Area of the triangle= 1/2 bh where b is the base of the triangle and h is height of the triangle
Area of the triangle = 1/2 (4) (5) = 10 in^2
We multiply the area of the triangle to four in order to obtain the total area of the triangles.
Total area of the triangles = 4 x 10 = 40 in^2

We then add the two areas,
Total Area = 16 + 40 = 56 in^2

Thus the total area that Gideon will have to paint for one square pyramid is 56 in^2.

To solve this question, I first converted one hour into minutes. (60 minutes)

Then I divided 4 1/2 into 60. As a decimal, the answer if 0.075. If you convert that into a lowest terms fraction, you get 3/40.
