Answer:

<h2>16units</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the length of the base of a square based pyramid as 12 units and the vertical height of the pyramid to be 15units, the height of one of its triangular faces can be gotten by using the pythagoras theorem.

Let the height of one of the triangular sides be s (it is also the slant height of the pyramid)

The vertical height of the pyramid to be h = 15units

The base of the right angled trangle will be half of the length of the base = 12/2 r  = 6 units

According to the pythagoras theorem; s² = h² + r²

Substituting the given values into the formula we will have;

s² = 15² + 6²

s² = 225 + 36

s = 261

s = 16.16 units

s ≈ 16units (to the nearest tenth)

<em>Hence the length of the height of one of the triangular faces is 16units</em>

An explosion causes debris to rise vertically with an initial speed of 120 feet per second. The formula h equals negative 16 t s
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The debris will be at a height of 56 ft when time is <u>0.5 s and 7 s.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Initial speed of debris is, s=120\ ft/s

The height 'h' of the debris above the ground is given as:

h(t)=-16t^2+120t

As per question, h(t)=56\ ft. Therefore,

56=-16t^2+120t

Rewriting the above equation into a standard quadratic equation and solving for 't', we get:

-16t^2+120t-56=0\\\textrm{Dividing by -8 throughout, we get}\\\frac{-16}{-8}t^2+\frac{120}{-8}t-\frac{56}{-8}=0\\2t^2-15t+7=0

Using quadratic formula to solve for 't', we get:

t=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\t=\frac{-(-15)\pm \sqrt{(-15)^2-4(2)(7)}}{2(2)}\\\\t=\frac{15\pm \sqrt{225-56}}{4}\\\\t=\frac{15\pm\sqrt{169}}{4}\\\\t=\frac{15\pm 13}{4}\\\\t=\frac{15-13}{4}\ or\ t=\frac{15+13}{4}\\\\t=\frac{2}{4}\ or\ t=\frac{28}{4}\\\\t=0.5\ s\ or\ t=7\ s

Therefore, the debris will reach a height of 56 ft twice.

When time t=0.5\ s during the upward journey, the debris is at height of 56 ft.

Again after reaching maximum height, the debris falls back and at t=7\ s, the height is 56 ft.

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The answer is 1 or infinite solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

When you plug in the value of -5.5 into the equation, you will eventually end up with -17.5=-17.5, making the answer infinite or 1.
