Area of square base = 324 m²

Length of the square side = √324 = 18

The side of the square is the base of the triangle.

Area of triangle = (1/2)*base* height

135 = (1/2)*18* h

135 = 9h

135/9 = h

15 = h

height = 15 m


To get the height of the Pyramid, the height of the Triangle and half the length of the side of the square form a right angled triangle.

Hypotenus = 15
Half length of square = 18/2 = 9
Height of Pyramid = H

By Pythagoras' Theorem:

15² = H² + 9²

225 =H² + 81

 H² + 81 = 225

H²  = 225 - 81

H²  = 144          Take square root of both sides

H  = √144

H = 12

Height = 12 meters.

Option C.

One of the legs of a right triangle measures 8 cm and its hypotenuse measures 14 cm.
Ugo [173]

Answer:

about 11.5 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

I know the measurement of the other leg is about 11.5 cm. I know because I used the Pythagorean theorem.

a^2+b^2=c^2.

"a" and "b" are the values of the legs of the triangle, while "c" is the measure of the hypotenuse. We know that 8cm is the measure of one of the legs, and 14 cm is a measure of the hypotenuse.

8^2+b^2=14^2 simplified: 64+b^2=196

Then, I subtracted 64 on both sides, so I would have "b" by itself.

b^2=132

Next, I found the square root of both b^2 and 132, so I would find the true value of "b."

b=11.4891252931

So, the measure of the other leg rounded to the nearest tenth is about 11.5.

larisa86 [58]

Answer: 920.3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

\tan 7^{\circ}=\frac{113}{x} \\ \\ x(\tan 7^{\circ})=113 \\ \\ x=\frac{113}{\tan 7^{\circ}} \approx \boxed{920.3 \text{ ft}}

Which two sets of events are most likely independent?
Bumek [7]

Answer:

A and C

Step-by-step explanation:

Two events, A and B, are independent if the fact that A occurs does not affect the probability of B occurring.

Options B and D give events which are most likely to be dependent, because if a driver texts while driving affects the possibility that the driver can get into the accident and if a woman lives in Alaska affects she can have a heavy winter coat.

Options A and C are two sets of most likely independent events, because the girl's singing does not affect on her wish to become a lawyer and a man's hair doesn't depend on where his father lives.
