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!

$21.50 - $4 = $17.50 If you start with $21.50, subtract the $4 entrance fee, you have $17.50 left to spend on rides. To figure out how many rides you can go on, divide $17.50 by $2.50. You can go on 7 rides. Here's the equation:

(21.5-4)/2.5=amount of rides

(21.5-4)/2.5= 7 rides

Jack wants to share his candy with friends. Right now he has 4 1/3 pieces of chocolate. How many friends can he give 1/2 a candy
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

8 Friends

Step-by-step explanation:

First convert 4 1/3 to a mixed fraction

4 1/3 --> 13/3

Then divide by 1/2 to find how many friends per 1/2 candy bar with 13/3 candy bars

(13/3)/(1/2)

=(13*2)/(3*1)

=26/3

8.66667

Since you can't have 0.66667 of a person you get 8 friends to give candy to

Please help I’m struggling
gulaghasi [49]

Answer: B, x=20; angle measure is 30°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Opposite angles are always the same.

You can see that 30° and 3x are opposite angles therefore 3x=30°.

In algebra, when a letter and a number are next to each other, it means times.

So, 3x=30° means 3 times something equals 30.

And we know that 3×10=30 so, x=10.

Hope this helps :)

kykrilka [37]
Event A - roll a 6-number cube 
Event B - flip a coin

*Independent events    *not mutually exclusive events

Both events are independent and not mutually exclusive.
Independent event means that one can happen without relying on the outcome of the other one.
Not mutually exclusive event means that both can happen at the same time.

A standard deck of playing cards has 52 cards: 13 spades, 13 clubs, 13 hearts, and 13 diamonds. What is the probability of drawi
cestrela7 [59]

13/ 52 = 1/4 chances.

There are 13 spades and 52 cards. You divide the spades and cards in the deck to find your chances of drawing one.

You have a 25% chance of getting a spade.

Now you put it back. Since you put it back, you still have the same number of cards and the same number of spades. So when you divide 13/52 again, the numbers are still the same. 1/4. 25% chance.

So, you still have a 25% chance the second time around.
