For solving the area of a square pyramid, we can use the formula below:A=a²+2a sqrt (a²/4 +h²)wheres for the slant height, r for the a/2, where a is the side length and h for the heightSubstitute the values, A=40²+(2*40) SQRT (40²/4 +21²)A=3920The answer is 3920 for the area of the square pyramid.

Answer    

Find out the  what is the surface area of the pyramid .

To proof

Formula

Surface area of a square pyramid

= a^{2} + 2a \sqrt{\frac{a^{2}}{4} +h^{2}

Where a is the base edge and h be the height .

As given

A square pyramid has a base with side lengths each measuring 40 inches. The pyramid is 21 inches tall, with a slant height of 29 inches.

i.e Base edge = 40 inches

Height =  21 inches    

Put values in the above formula

= 40^{2} + 2\times40\times\sqrt{\frac{40^{2}}{4} +21^{2}

solving

= 1600 + 80 \sqrt{\frac{1600}{4} + 441

= 1600 + 80\times\sqrt{841}

\sqrt{841} = 29

= 1600 + 80 × 29

= 3920 inches²

Therefore the surface area of the pyramid is 3,920 inches²

Hence proved

Elizabeth has a swimming pool at home. She wants to build a deck all the way around her rectangular swimming pool. The width of
galben [10]

Using the perimeter of a rectangle, it is found that she can make a deck of 122 ft wide.

<h3>What is the perimeter of a rectangle?</h3>

The perimeter of a rectangle of length l and width w is given by:

P = 2(l + w)

In this problem:

  • She has enough wood to build a deck that is 280ft, hence P = 280.
  • The length is of 10 feet, hence l = 10.
  • Considering that the deck's width will be added to the actual width of 8 feet, we have that w = 8 + w.

Then:

P = 2(l + w)

280 = 2(10 + 8 + w)

36 + 2w = 280

2w = 244

w = \frac{144}{2}

w = 122

She can make a deck of 122 ft wide.

X^2-18x=-72<br><br> I need two solutions. Thanks.
eimsori [14]

Hey Astute!

Solve: x^2 - 18x = -72

Solution:

x^2 − 18x − (−72) = −72 − (−72) (Subtract -72 from both sides of the equation)

x^2 − 18x + 72 = 0

(x − 6) (x − 12) = 0 (Factor left side)

x − 6 = 0 or x − 12 = 0 (factors have to equal 0)

6 - 6 = 0 or 12 - 12 = 0

Answer:

x = 6 or x = 12

Hope This Helps, Have a Great Day!
