Answer:

The equation of the parallel line would be y = -1/2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To start we need to find the slope of the original line. We can do that by solving for y.

x + 2y = -4

2y = -x - 4

y = -1/2x - 2

Since the slope of the original line is -1/2 and parallel lines have the same slope, we know the new line will also have -1/2 slope. Now we can use that along with the point given in point-slope form to get the find equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = -1/2(x + 8)

y - 5 = -1/2x - 4

y = -1/2x + 1

A square pyramid has base edge length 14 m. The height of the pyramid is 24 m. Find the surface area of the square pyramid. Use

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

The total surface area is 896 $m^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The square pyramid is a solid with square base and symmetric 4 triangular faces.</em>

Given that the square base is 14 m and height is 24 m.

The apex of pyramid, center of square and center of any edge of square make a right angled triangle.

Let that height if triangular face be "x".

by pythagoras theorm , $x^{2} = 7^{2} + 24^{2} = 625$

x = 25 m

the area of square base is $14^{2} = 196 m^{2}$

the area of each triangular side is <em> $(\frac{1}{2})(base)(height) = (\frac{1}{2})(14)(25) = 135 m^{2}$ </em>

such are 4 triangles, thus $(4)(135) = 700 m^{2}$

Thus the total surface area is 196 + 700 = 896 $m^{2}$
