Answer:

(a) = 11 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the surface area of a regular pyramid is B + (1/2*P*l), with B being the area of the base, p being the perimeter of the base, and l being the slant of the pyramid.

The area of a pentagon can be solved using the formula 1/2*a*p, with a being the apothem and p being the perimeter of the pentagon.

  1. B + (1/2*80*15) = 1040
  2. B + 600 = 1040
  3. 1040 - 600 = 440 (440 is the area of pentagon)
  4. 1/2*a*(16*5) = 440
  5. 40*a = 440
  6. 440/40 = 11

The apothem is 11 cm. Hope this helps!

what is the slope of the line that passes through the points (7,-6) and (4,-6)? write your answer in simplest form
Andrews [41]

Answer:

<u>m = 0</u>, y = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

using point slope form :

y - y_{1} = m(x - x_{1})

y-y1=m(x-x1) ; initial point (x1,y1) = (4,-6), final point (x,y) = (7,-6).

one substituted, it should look like this:

-6--6 = m(7-4),

-6+6= m(7-4)

0 = m(7-4)

0 = 3m

0/3 = 3/3m

0 = m

m = 0/3 = 0

What is the answer to this equation “A = ?”<br><br> G(a + h) = M
sasho [114]

Answer:

a  = M -Gh/G

Step-by-step explanation:

in order to make a the subject of fomular , you will open the bracket first and then combine the like terms.

G(a + h) = M

Ga + Gh  = M

Ga = M - Gh

since G is disturbing a from standing alone, we divide both sides by G

Ga/G = M- Gh/ G

a  = M -Gh/G

A prop for the theater club’s play is constructed as a cone topped with a half- sphere. What is the volume of the prop? Round yo
san4es73 [151]

The volume of the prop is calculated to be 1,875.6 cubic cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; The prop consists of a cone and a half-sphere on top. We will have to calculate the volumes of the cone and the half-sphere separately and then add them to obtain the total volume.

Step 2; The volume of a cone is determined by multiplying \frac{1}{3} with π, the square of the radius (r²) and height (h). Here we substitute π as 3.14. The radius is 8 cm and the height is 12 cm.

The volume of the cone = \frac{1}{3} × 3.14 × 8 × 8 × 12 = 803.84 cubic cm.

Step 3; The area of a half-sphere is half of a full sphere. The volume of a sphere is given by multiplying \frac{4}{3} with π and the cube of the radius (r³). Here the radius is 8cm. We take π as 3.14.

The volume of a full sphere = \frac{4}{3} × 3.14 × r³ = \frac{4}{3} × π × 8³ = 2,143.5733 cubic cm.

The volume of a half-sphere = \frac{ 2,143.5733}{2} = 1,071.7866 cubic cm.

Step 4; The total volume = The volume of the cone + The volume of the half sphere,

The total volume = 803.84 cubic cm + 1,071.7866 cubic cm = 1,875.6266 cubic cm. By rounding this off to the nearest tenth we get 1,875.6 cubic cm.
