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.

You want to multiply together the number of possible choices for each digit in the code.

0-9 is ten possible numbers, since repetitions are allowed (example code 2,2,2,2) there are ten possible choices per digit in the code.

10*10*10*10 = 10,000 four digit coded possible

When is a zero not significant?
fomenos

Answer: A. When it comes after the decimal point, as in 4.000

Step-by-step explanation: If there are no other numbers after the zeros, there is no reason for them to be place holders. Zeros in decimals act as place holders such as in 4.09 or 4.0009. This actually does change the value of the decimal but 4.000 is just the same as a regular old 4. Hope this helps!
