We are given
Jim's backyard:
Length is
width is
Since, this is rectangle
so, we can find area of rectangle
Area of one sod:
length is
width is
Since, it is rectangle in shape
so,
Number of pieces of sod:
we can use formula
Number of pieces of sod = (area of Jim's backyard)/(area of one sod)
now, we can simplify it
pieces need ..............Answer
Answer:
400 units³
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume (V) of the square pyramid is
V = area of base × height (h)
where h is the perpendicular height.
Consider the right triangle formed by a segment from the vertex to the midpoint of the base and the slant height ( the hypotenuse )
Using Pythagoras' identity on the right triangle
h² + 5² = 13²
h² + 25 = 169 ( subtract 25 from both sides )
h² = 144 ( take the square root of both sides )
h = = 12
Area of square base = 10² = 100, hence
V = × 100 × 12 = 4 × 100 = 400
