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.

Answer:

  • 84.7 units²
  • 118.125 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of the triangular prism is the sum of its base areas and the lateral area. The total area of the two triangular bases is ...

  A = bh = 7(6.1) = 42.7 . . . square units

The lateral area is the product of the perimeter of the base and the length of the prism. The height given for the prism is consistent with it having triangular bases that are equilateral triangles. That is, the unmarked dimension is likely 7 units, so the perimeter is ...

  P = 7+7+7 = 21

and the lateral surface area is ...

  LA = PL = 21·2 = 42

Then the total surface area of the prism is ...

   total area = A + LA = 42.7 +42 = 84.7 . . . square units

__

The volume of a rectangular prism is given by ...

  V = Bh

where B is the area of the base, and h is the height. Your prism has a volume of ...

  V = (26.25 in²)(4.5 in) = 118.125 in³

Select the correct product.
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Option A. 2x^{3}+7x^{2}+12x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

(x^{2}+4x+8)(2x-1)

Applying the distributive property

(x^{2}+4x+8)(2x-1) =x^{2}(2x)-x^{2} +4x(2x)-4x+8(2x)-8\\ \\=2x^{3}-x^{2} +8x^{2}-4x+16x-8\\ \\= 2x^{3}+7x^{2}+12x-8

Your math test has 38 questions and is worth 200 points. This test consists of multiple-choice questions worth 4 points each and
Furkat [3]

Answer: the number of multiple-choice questions in the math test is 35 and the number of open-ended questions in the math test is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of multiple-choice questions in the math test.

Let y represent the number of open-ended questions in the math test.

The math test has 38 questions. It means that

x + y = 38

This test consists of multiple-choice questions worth 4 points each and open-ended questions worth 20 points each. The total number of points is 200. It means that

4x + 20y = 200 - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 38 - y into equation 1, it becomes

4(38 - y) + 20y = 200

152 - 4y + 20y = 200

- 4y + 20y = 200 - 152

16y = 48

48/16

y = 3

Substituting y = 3 into x = 38 - y, it becomes

x = 38 - 3 = 35
