Answer:

Value of p is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the root is 1.

So, putting 1 in the place of x in the given equation,

px²-4x+3p-8=0

or, p-4+3p-8=0

or, 4p-12=0

or, 4p=12

or, p=3

Distance Formula: $\displaystyle d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (-5, 6) → x₁ = -5, y₁ = 6

Point (3, 2) → x₂ = 3, y₂ = 2

Step 2: Find distance d

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the distance formula to find distance d

Substitute in points [Distance Formulas]: $\displaystyle d = \sqrt{(3+5)^2+(2-6)^2}$
[Distance] [√Radical] (Parenthesis) Add/Subtract: $\displaystyle d = \sqrt{(8)^2+(-4)^2}$
[Distance] [√Radical] Evaluate exponents: $\displaystyle d = \sqrt{64+16}$
[Distance] [√Radical] Add: $\displaystyle d = \sqrt{80}$
[Distance] [√Radical] Simplify: $\displaystyle d = 4\sqrt{5}$

A square pyramid is shown below:

madreJ [45]

Let Surface Area A, a the base edge and h the height:

A = a²+2a√(a²/4+h²)

h=?

pythagorean theorem:

h²=c²-a²

h=√(c²-a²)

h=√(8²-(.7/2)²)= 8

plug it in the above equation A= 11.7ft²

So A is correct
