What is the slant height of a pyramid with a 864 square inch surface area and a 18 inch square base

To determine the slant height, you will use what you know about surface area of a pyramid.

The surface area of a square Peerman consists of one square, and four congruent triangles.

We know the length of one side on the square base is 18 inches.

The area of the base then would be 324 in.².

Subtract this from the total surface area.

864-324 = 540 in.²

Divide 540 in.² by 4 because there are four congruent triangles.

540/4= 135 in.²

Each triangle is 135 in.². Now use the formula for area of a triangle to solve for the missing slant height.

A = 1/2 x b x h
135 = 1/2 x 18 x h
135 = 9h
h = 15 inches.

The slant height is 15 inches.

In Hawaii a volcano is about to explodel At 6:00 am a device placed inside the volcano
faust18 [17]

Complete question :

In Hawaii a volcano is about to explodel At 6:00 am a device placed inside the volcano

measures the temperature at 69.5 degrees Celsius. Every 3 minutes the temperature

rises 1/5 a degree. If the Volcano explodes at 145.5 degrees Celsius how many hours do

they have to evacuate a nearby city?​

Will Mark BRAINLIEST to the correct answer

Answer:

19 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Temperature of volcano at 6:00 am = 69.5°C

Average rise in temperature per 3 minute = 1/5

Hence, rise in temperature per minute = 0.0666666°C

Temperature at which volcano will explode = 145.5°C

Hence, change in temperature :

(145.5°C - 69.5°C) = 76°C

Hence, temperature will have to rise by 76°C

Rise in temperature / rate of temperature increase

= 76°C / 0.0666666°C

= 1140.0011 minutes

= 1140.0011 / 60

= 19.0000019 hours

= 19 hours

Factor completely (3x^2−12x)(x^2−2x+1)=
never [62]

Answer:

3x^4-18x^3+27x^2-12x

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the second paréntesis for each term of the first parentage

3x^2×(x^2-2x+1)-12x×(x^2-2x+1)

Multiply parentage by 3x^2

3x^4-6x^3+3x^2-12x×(x^2-2x+1)

Multiply the parentage by -12x

3x^4-6x^3+3x^2-12x^3+24x^2-12x

Group similar terms

3x^4-18x^3+27x^2-12x

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here you utilize the formula of slope which is  m  = y2-y1/x2 -x1

(-1,5) (1,6)

(x1, y1) ( x2, y2)

m = ( 6-5)/ (1-(-1))

= 1/(1+1)

= 1/2
