Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

this problem statement tries to confuse us. there is no pi involved - also because there are no round surfaces and edges involved.

what do you think the surface area of such a 4-sided pyramid consists of ?

think !

there are the 4 walls or sides. and then there is the bottom too (if you lift the pyramid up, yes, the "floor" or bottom also belongs to the surface area).

each "wall" or side is actually a triangle.

and the bottom is a square.

what is the area of a triangle (At) ?

At = base length × height / 2 = 3×11/2 = 33/2 in²

what is the area of a square (As) ?

it is a special form of a rectangle, where length = width.

the area of a rectangle (Ar) = length × width.

and the area of a square (As), where length = width is

As = side length × side length = length² = 3² = 9 in²

our pyramid now has 4 "walls", all of the same size, so we need 4 times the area of such a single triangle.

and then add the bottom area.

=> the pyramid surface area (Ap) is

Ap = 4 × At + As = 4×33/2 + 9 = 132/2 + 9 = 66+9 = 75 in²

Given:

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

9 units

Step-by-step explanation:

By the midsegment theorem,

$AB=\dfrac{KN+LM}{2}$

Since the ratio $LM:KN=1:5,$ then $LM=x,\ KN=5x$ and

$18=\dfrac{x+5x}{2}\\ \\18=\dfrac{6x}{2}\\ \\18=3x\\ \\x=6\\ \\LM=6\ units\\ \\KN=30\ units$

Draw two heights LE and MF. Quadrilateral ELMF is a rectangle, then EF = LM = 6 units.

Trapezoid KLMN is isosceles trapezoid (KL = MN), then KE = FN and

$KE=FN=\dfrac{KN-EF}{2}=\dfrac{30-6}{2}=12\ units$

Consider right triangle KLE. By the Pythagorean theorem,

$KL^2=LE^2+KE^2\\ \\15^2=LE^2+12^2\\ \\LE^2=15^2-12^2\\ \\LE^2=225-144=81\\ \\LE=9\ units$

F(x)=4x+1 and g(x)=x^2-5find(f-g)(x)

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given f(x)=4x+1 and g(x)=x²-5

(f-g)(x) is derived by taking the difference of both functions

(f-g)(x) = f(x)-g(x)

(f-g)(x) = 4x+1 - (x²-5)

(f-g)(x) = 4x+1-x²+5

(f-g)(x) = -x²+4x +6

This gives the requires expression

Determine the volume of the rectangular prism.<br>

Flauer [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the formula for a rectangular prism is length × width × height

We also know all the sides so we can rewrite the formula replacing variables.

The length is 8, the width is 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ and the height is 2 $\frac{1}{2}$

8 × 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ × 2 $\frac{1}{2}$

Multiply which ever way is easy for you. I am just multiplying from left to right.

8 × 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ = 20

20 × 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ = 50

Now we get 50. Before we put our answer as 50, there are two more steps.

First we need to add the measurement unit which is feet or ft

We also need to add ³ since it is volume

<u>50 ft³ is our final answer</u>
