Answer:

h \approx 12.7\,cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The side of the square base is:

l = \sqrt{64\,cm^{2}}

l = 8\,cm

The formula for the surface area of the pyramid is:

A_{s} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (3\cdot l)\cdot \sqrt{0.25\cdot l^{2}+h^{2}} + l^{2}

The height is cleared in the previous expression:

A_{s} - l^{2} = \frac{3}{2}\cdot l\cdot \sqrt{0.25\cdot l^{2}+h^{2}}

\frac{2}{3}\cdot \frac{A_{s}-l^{2}}{l} = \sqrt{0.25\cdot l^{2} + h^{2}}

\frac{4}{9}\cdot \left(\frac{A_{s}-l^{2}}{l} \right)^{2} = \frac{1}{4} \cdot l^{2} + h^{2}

h = \sqrt{\frac{4}{9}\cdot \left(\frac{A_{s}-l^{2}}{l} \right)^{2} - \frac{1}{4}\cdot l^{2}}

h = \sqrt{\frac{4}{9}\cdot \left[\frac{224\,cm^{2}-(8\,cm)^{2}}{8\,cm}\right]^{2}-\frac{1}{4}\cdot (8\,cm)^{2} }

h \approx 12.7\,cm

Lisa claims that when multiplying any number between 0 and 10 by 100, the product is greater than 100. What is a possible number
dlinn [17]
The number is 1. 1 multiplied by 100 gives 100 as answer. Lisa claims that <span>when multiplying any number between 0 and 10 by 100, the product is greater than 100. In this case the answer is equal to 100 not greater than 100. 

So this proof shows that Lisa's claim is not correct. </span>

horsena [70]

Answer:

12m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

volume = 48 m^3

l*b*h = 48

12*h = 48

h = 4 m

baSe of prism will be made of l and b

so area is 12 m^2

6x-y=-23 8x+3y=-9 Substition method (Show it step by step please!)
Tanya [424]

Answer:

solution is (- 3, 5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

given the 2 equations

6x - y = - 23 → (1)

8x + 3y = - 9 → (2)

rearrange (1) expressing y in terms of x

y = 6x + 23 → (3)

Substitute y = 6x + 23 into (2)

8x + 3(6x + 23 ) = - 9

8x + 18x + 69 = - 9

26x + 69 = - 9 ( subtract 69 from both sides )

26x = - 78 ( divide both sides by 26 )

x = - 3

substitute x = - 3 into (3)

y = (6 × - 3 ) + 23 = - 18 + 23 = 5

solution is (- 3, 5 )
