Answer:

His error is multiplying by 4 sides as he thought it was total surface not lateral surface area- the final answer is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

He should have multiplied it by 3, because the 3 sides- not including the base- is what lateral surface area is. He originally did total surface area not lateral surface area so each sides area is 4m squared then you just multiply it by 3 and its 12

Find the slope of the line.

lorasvet [3.4K]

<h3>Given ↓</h3>

Two points that a line goes through

The line's slope

<h3>Calculations ↓</h3>

When we have two points that a line passes through and asked to determine the slope of the line, the slope formula is going to come in handy.

This is the formula :

$\boxed{\\\begin{minipage}{3cm}slope~formula~: \\ $\displaystyle\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$ \\ \end{minipage}}$

y2 and y1 are y-coordinates, and x2 and x1 are x coordinates

Plug in the values :

$\boxed{\\\begin{minipage}{3cm}$\displaystyle\frac{0-(-7)}{7-0} $\end{minipage}}$

$\boxed{\\\begin{minipage}{3cm}$\displaystyle\frac{0+7}{7} \end{minipage}}$

Which simplifies to $^7/_7$ , or 1

<h3>Slope ↓</h3>

Find the equation of circle (5,1) diameter 4 square root 5

stepladder [879]

Answer:

$(x-5)^2+(y-1)^2=20$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation of a circle</u>

$(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2$

(where (a, b) is the center and r is the radius)

Given:

center = (5, 1)
diameter = 4√5

Diameter = 2r (where r is the radius)

⇒ r = 4√5 ÷ 2 = 2√5

Substituting these values into the equation:

$\implies (x-5)^2+(y-1)^2=(2\sqrt{5})^2$

$\implies (x-5)^2+(y-1)^2=20$
