Answer:

5.83 blocks away from his home

Step-by-step explanation:

If he travels 5 blocks south and 3 blocks west, the distance from his house considered along with the distances travelled gives a right angled triangle whose opposite side and adjacent sides are the distances travelled north and west.

The distance from his house after moving 3 blocks west is the hypotenuse side. As such, the distance may be computed using Pythagoras' theorem. Let the distance from his house be G

G^2 = 5^2 + 3^2

G^2 = 25 + 9

= 34

G = √34

=5.83

John is 5.83 blocks away from his home

The Louvre is an art museum in Paris. A glass square base pyramid sits in front of the entrance to the museum. If the pyramid is
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

lateral area = 2320 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The question wants us to calculate the lateral area of a square base pyramid. The square base pyramid has a side of 40 meters.The height is 21 meters.

Half of the square base is 40/2 =  20 meters . With the height it forms a right angle triangle. The hypotenuse side is the slant height of the pyramid.

Using Pythagoras's theorem

c² = a² + b²

c² = 20² + 21²

c² = 400 + 441

c² = 841

square root both sides

c = √841

c = 29 meters

The slant height of the pyramid is 29 meters.

The pyramid has four sided triangle. The lateral area is 4 multiply by the area of one triangle.

area of triangle = 1/2 × base × height

base = 40 meters

height = 29 meters

area = 1/2 × 40 × 29

area = 580

area of one triangle = 580 m²

Lateral area = 4(580)

lateral area = 2320 m²
