Answer:

8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the statement we have that they first made two identical square pyramids, each with a base area of 100 square inches.

Ab = s ^ 2 = 100

Therefore each side would be:

s = (100) ^ (1/2)

s = 10

So, side of the square base = 10 inches

Then they tell us that they glued the bases of the pyramids together to form the precious stone. The surface area of the gemstone is 520 square inches, so for a single pyramid it would be:

Ap = 520/2 = 260

For an area of the square pyramid we have the following equation:

Ap = 2 * x * s + s ^ 2

Where x is the height of each triangular surface and s is the side of the square base

Replacing we have:

260 = 2 * x * 10 + 10 ^ 2

20 * x + 100 = 260

20 * x = 160

x = 160/20

x = 8

Therefore, the value of x is 8 inches.

Find the value of y.
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

\sqrt{55}

Step-by-step explanation:

Based off of what we do know, if we can find length DB we can use the pythagorous theorem (I will be assigning the variable z)

x^{2} =36+z^{2} \\\\y^{2}=25+z^2\\\\x^{2} +y^2=121\\\\

First equation is for triangle ABD

Second is for BCD

And the last one is for ACD

Substitute x^{2} and y^2

36+z^2+25+z^2=121\\\\61+2z^2=121\\\\2z^2=60\\\\z^2=30\\\\z=\sqrt{30}

As discovered before

y^2=25+z^2\\\\y^2=25+30\\\\y^2=55\\\\y=\sqrt{55}

(1 point) In 7 years Harry and Sally would like to have $14000 for a down payment on a house. How much should they deposit each
den301095 [7]

Answer:

$110.37

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the monthly payment is made at the beginning of the month, the formula for the monthly payment P that gives future value A will be ...

... A = P(1+r/12)((1+r/12)^(nt) -1)/(r/12) . . . . n=compoundings/year, t=years

... 14000 = P(1+.11/12)((1+.11/12)^(12·7) -1)/(.11/12)

... 14000 = P(12.11)((1+.11/12)^84 -1)/0.11 ≈ P·126.84714 . . . . fill in the given values

... P = 14000/126.84714 = 110.37 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of P

They should deposit $110.37 at the beginning of each month.
