Answer:

470.16 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The apothem of the base is used for two purposes: to find the area of the base, and to find the slant height of each face.

The apothem of the base for side length s is ...

s/2 = a·tan(π/8)

a = s/(2·tan(π/8)) ≈ 7.24 cm

The slant height of a triangular face is found using the Pythagorean theorem. The apothem of the base and the height are legs of the right triangle whose hypotenuse is the slant height. For slant height x, we have ...

x² = 10² + a² = 100 +52.46

x ≈ √152.46 ≈ 12.35

The area of the 8 triangular faces will be ...

A = 1/2Px . . . . where P is the perimeter of the pyramid

The area of the base will be ...

A = 1/2Pa

So, the total surface area is ...

A = 1/2P(a + x) = (1/2)(8)(6 cm)(7.24 +12.35 cm) ≈ 470.16 cm²

Answer:

There is sufficient evidence. A further explanation is provided below.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question,

The alternative as well as null hypothesis will be:

$H_0:\mu = 16$

$H_a:\mu>16$

The test statistics will be:

⇒ $z = \frac{\frac{\bar x - \mu}{\sigma} }{\sqrt{n} }$

By putting the values, we get

⇒ $=\frac{\frac{16.06-16}{0.24} }{\sqrt{96} }$

⇒ $=\frac{\frac{0.06}{0.24} }{\sqrt{96} }$

⇒ $=2.45$

Or,

The p-value will be:

= 0.0071

i.e.,

⇒ $p-value< \alpha$

Thus the above is the correct answer.

10th grade geometry <br> Select statements that are true about angles on diagram

Goshia [24]

Answer:

B, C

Step-by-step explanation:

The only statements that must be true are ones that describe the markings on the diagram:

NO as an angle bisector

N is the vertex of a pair of congruent angles

_____

The only other fact that must be true is that segments on the left side of the diagram are proportional to those (corresponding) on the right. (This is a property of the angle bisector.) There is nothing that says the sides must be equal, or that the triangle is isosceles.
