The volume of a square pyramid is (1/3)(area of base)(height of pyramid).
Here the area of the base is (10 ft)^2 = 100 ft^2.
13 ft is the height of one of the triangular sides, but not the height of the pyramid. To find the latter, draw another triangle whose upper vertex is connected to the middle of one of the four equal sides of the base by a diagonal of length 13 ft. That "middle" is 5 units straight down from the upper vertex. Thus, you have a triangle with known hypotenuse (13 ft) and known opposite side 5 feet (half of 10 ft). What is the height of the pyramid?
To find this, use the Pyth. Thm.: (5 ft)^2 + y^2 = (13 ft)^2. y = 12 ft.
Then the vol. of the pyramid is (1/3)(area of base)(height of pyramid) =
(1/3)(100 ft^2)(12 ft) = 400 ft^3 (answer)
Answer:
Coordinate
Step-by-step explanation:
It is a coordinate because with slope you would need at least two ordered pairs
Answer:
The equation of the line is,

Step-by-step explanation:
First, you have to write it in a form of y = mx + b :




When both lines are parallel to each other, they will have to same gradient value. So the equation of the line is y = (-2/5)x + b. Next, you have to find the value of b by substutituting (-10,3) into the equation :






1: right triangle, 2: right triangle, 3: not a right triangle, 4:not a right triangle.
