The pyramid shown has a square base that is 12 centimeters on each side. The slant height is 18 centimeters. What is the surface

area of the pyramid?

<span>The <u>correct answer</u> is:

576 sq. cm.

Explanation:

The surface area of a figure is the sum of the areas of the faces of the figure.

The slant height goes from the apex of the pyramid along a face and is perpendicular to the base at the bottom of that face. This gives us 2 measurements of each triangular face of the pyramid: the height (the slant height of the pyramid is the height of the triangular face), 18 cm, and the base <span>of the triangular face, 12 cm.

The formula for the area of a triangle is A = 1/2bh; using our measurements we have:
A = 1/2(12)(18) = 108 sq. cm.

There are 4 triangular faces on a square pyramid, and each will have an area of 108 sq. cm.; this gives us:
4(108) = 432 sq. cm.

The area of the base is given by length times width, or 12*12 = 144 sq. cm.

This gives us a total surface area of 432+144=576 sq. cm.</span></span>

Answer:

The total surface area of the pyramid = 576 cm²        

Step-by-step explanation:

The base of the pyramid is square with the side length of 12 cm

So, Area of the base of pyramid = (side)²

                                                      = 12 × 12

                                                     = 144 cm²

Now, to find the area of the triangle : length = 12 cm and height = 18 cm

Area of the triangle = 0.5 × length × height

                                 = 0.5 × 12 × 18

                                 = 108 cm²

So, Area of 4 triangles in the pyramid = 4 × 108

                                                               = 432 cm²

Hence, The total surface area of the pyramid = 144 + 432

                                                                               = 576 cm²

Lorico [155]

Answer:

Given that the question rightly asks the amount it cost to drive from Smithville to Jones City, we have;

The question rightly asks the amount it cost to drive from Smithville to Jones City is approximately $7.209

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of Smithville is (-25, 10)

The coordinates of Jones City is (15, 12)

The cost of driving a car for a mile = $0.18

Therefore, the distance from Smithville to Jones City is given by the formula for the distance, l, between two points with coordinates as follows;

l = \sqrt{\left (y_{2}-y_{1}  \right )^{2}+\left (x_{2}-x_{1}  \right )^{2}}

Where;

(x₁, y₁) = (-25, 10) and (x₂, y₂) = (15, 12)

l = \sqrt{\left (12-10  \right )^{2}+\left (15-(-25)  \right )^{2}} = 2 \cdot \sqrt{401}

The distance from Smithville to Jones City = 2·√401 ≈ 40.05 miles

The amount, A, it cost to drive from Smithville to Jones City a distance of approximately 40.05 miles is therefore given as follows;

A = 40.05 miles × $0.18 ≈ $7.209

What is the probability that a point chosen at random in the triangle is also in the blue square? A blue square inside of an uns
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

One-third

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The probability that a point chosen at random in the triangle is also in the blue square is equal to divide the area of the square by the area of triangle

step 1

Determine the area of triangle

A=\frac{1}{2}(9)(6)=27\ in^2

step 2

Determine the area of the square

A=(3^2)=9\ in^2

step 3

Determine the probability

P=\frac{9}{27}

simplify

P=\frac{1}{3}

therefore

One-third

Write the following decimal number in its equivalent fraction form.
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

-0.6666.... = - \frac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Repeating decimals can be written as either 0.6666..., or as 0.6 with a small line over the top of the 6 to indicate it repeats.  Repeating fractions are not put into fractions in the traditional way.  If we had the terminating decimal 0.4, then we know to put the 4 over 10 and reduce:

\frac{4}{10}=\frac{2}{5}

However, with repeating decimals, instead of putting the number of the decimal over a value of 10, we put it over a value of 9.  So, for the equivalent fraction form of -0.6 (repeating) we would get:

\frac{6}{9}=-\frac{2}{3}
