Answer:

y = -2/5x +5

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

b is the y intercept so you can put 5 for b

and m is the slope, since they give you the slope, you can substitute m for -2/5

Use the net as an aid to compute the surface area (rounded to the nearest integer) of the triangular pyramid with an equilateral

Answer:

Correct answer is $C)\ 254\ m^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the given diagram, we know the following details:

Height of the triangular pyramid is 14m.

Side of base = 10m

Height of Triangular base = 8.7m

Formula for surface area of triangular pyramid:

$\text{Area = Area of Triangular base + 3 }\times\text{Area of side triangle}$

(Triangular base is shown in the dotted lines in the question figure.

The other 3 triangles are the side triangles.)

We know that,

$\text{Area of a triangle = }\dfrac{1}{2} \times \text{Base} \times \text{Height}$

$\Rightarrow \text{Required Surface Area = } \dfrac{1}{2} \times 8.7 \times 10 + 3 \times \dfrac{1}{2} \times 14 \times 10\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}\times (87 + 3 \times 140)\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}\times (87 + 420)\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2} \times 507\\$\approx$ 254 m^{2}$
