Answer:
x = ±sqrt(2)
Step-by-step explanation:
8x^2 - 5 = 11
Add 5 to each side
8x^2 - 5+5 = 11+5
8x^2 = 16
Divide each side by 8
8x^2 = 16/8
x^2 = 2
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(2)
x = ±sqrt(2)
It is -5/8x (the slash represents a fraction sign)
18.5 - 6.75 = 11.75 (3/4 = .75 and 1/2 = .5)
The net cannot be folded to form a pyramid because the faces that are not a base are not all triangles
If you fold this net up, you will get a triangular prism, NOT A PYRAMID.
A pyramid can have ANY polygon as its base, as long as all the other rest of the shapes are triangles.
Depending on the base, the number of triangles in a net of a pyramid must match the number of sides its particular base has.
For example, if you have a square pyramid turned into a net:
The base is a square (4 sides)
There should be 4 triangles on each side.
Because a pyramid is where all the triangles must meet up at a point.
Hope this helps!
