Answer:
C. 42
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Since the triangle making up the base of the right triangular pyramid is equilateral, the three lateral triangles will have equal areas. To find the surface area of the pyramid, find the area of one of the lateral triangles and multiply it by 3. Then, add that to the area of the triangle that forms the base.</em>
<em>Area of Lateral Triangle = 1/2 · base · height</em>
<em> = 1/2 · X · Z</em>
<em> = 1/2 · 4 units · 6 units</em>
<em> = 12 square units</em>
<em>Area of Base Triangle = 1/2 · base · height</em>
<em> = 1/2 · X · Y</em>
<em> = 1/2 · 4 units · 3 units</em>
<em> = 6 square units</em>
<em>Now, use the method described above to find the surface area of the pyramid.</em>
<em>Surface Area = 3( Area lateral ) + ( Area base )</em>
<em> = 3 ( 12 square units ) + ( 6 square units )</em>
<em> = 42 square units</em>
Answer:
C) 120 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that the bed is in the shape of a <em>triangle</em>. You are also finding the area of the bed (Use the formula Area = 1/2(base * height)).
The base = 20, height = 12. Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variable.
A = 1/2(20)(12)
Simplify.
A = 1/2(20)(12)
A = (20 * 12)/2
A = (10 * 12)
A = 120
C) 120 square feet is your answer.

*Good luck!
We will use the Pythagorean theorem:
8² + 12² = c²
64 + 144 = c²
c = √208 ≈ 14.42
14.42 - 12 = 2.42 in
The direct distance between the lizard and the cactus is 2.42 inches.
