Answer:

volume ≈ 930 cm³ (nearest cubic cm)

Step-by-step explanation:

The base of the prism which is a pentagon is regular. The apothem which is a line drawn from the center to any side of the pentagon is 4 cm. The height of the prism is 16 cm.

The volume of a prism = Bh

where

B = base area

h = height of the prism

The base of the prism can be divided into 5 congruent triangles.But the base of the triangles is unknown.

The sum of interior angle of a pentagon is 540°. That means each angle is 108° . The triangle divide the angle into 2. Making the 2 base angle as 54° each. The last angle of the triangle at the center is 72°(remember sum of angle in a triangle is 180° which is 54° + 54° + 72° = 180°) .

The angle form the center can be divided by the line of height of the triangles. The angle will then be 36°. Using tangential ratio half of the length of the base of the triangle can be known. Therefore,

tan 36° = opposite/adjacent

tan 36° = opposite/4

opposite = 4 tan 36°

The full base of the triangles = 2(4 tan 36°)

area of each triangle = 1/2 × 2(4 tan 36°) × 4 = 16 tan 36°

Base area of the prism(pentagon) = 5 × 16 tan 36° = 80 tan 36°

Volume of the prism = Bh

where

h = 16 cm

B = 80 tan 36°

volume =  80 tan 36° × 16 = 1280  tan 36° = 1280  × 0.726542528

volume = 929.974435847  cm³

volume ≈ 930 cm³ (nearest cubic cm)

7.) Area of a square pyramid is given by A = s^2 + 2sl; where s is the side length of the base and l is the slant height.
Area of given pyramid = 4^2 + (2 x 4 x 7) = 16 + 56 = 72 ft^2

8.) Area of the given pyramid is the area of the hexagonal base plus the area of the six slant triangles.
Area of hexagonal base = (3sqrt(3))/2 x 10^2 = 150 x 1.732 = 259.8
Area of the 6 traingles = 6(1/2 x 10 x 13) = 6 x 65 = 390
Total surface area of the pyramid = 259.8 + 390 = 649.8 ≈ 650 m^2

9.) Using pythagoras rule, the slant height is sqrt(6^2 + 3.5^2) = sqrt(36 + 12.25) = sqrt(48.25) = 6.9 mm

10.) The surface area of a cone is given by πr^2 + πrl
Area = π x 6^2 + π x 6 x 20 = 36π + 120π = 490.1 cm^2

11.) l = sqrt(r^2 + h^2) = sqrt(11^2 + 16^2) = sqrt(121 + 256) = sqrt(377) = 19m

Answer:

:-):-)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) p<1000

2)p>500

3)By combining the above two, we get: 500<p<1000

Andre will agree as he thinks that the no. of paper clips in the box is less than 1000. But lin will not as she thinks that the no. of clips is more than 500.

4)This time, they both will agree as the no. of paper clips is more than 500 but less than 1000.
