Answer:
4 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a square pyramid is (a²)*h/3
256=a²*12/3
256=a²*4
256/4=a²
64=a²
a=8
Now we know that the square is 8 by 8.
The volume of a square prism is a²h
256=64h
256/64=h
h=4
Also, a square pyramid is 1/3 the volume of a square prism.
12÷3=4
So the picture below shows what the slant height is. It also shows that the pyramid can form a right triangle, in which we can use the pythagorean theorem, which is 
.
But first, we have to find the height of this pyramid. The volume formula for a square pyramid is 
. Since we know its a square pyramid, the length and width are going to be the same (12 ft), and we know that the volume is 432 ft^3. Using this info, we can solve for the height:
So now we can use the pythagorean theorem (remember to split the 12 by 2, since the right triangle has only half the length of the base). Our equation will be solved as such:
In short, the slant height is 10.8 ft.
Answer:
480 cm ^ 2
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the surface area of the figure, we must calculate the surface area of the cube, we know that they are identical, therefore, calculating the area of one is sufficient.
We have that the surface area of a cube is:
A = 6 * a ^ 2
where a is the edge, we know that if it is a cube all its sides are equal, in this case it is 4 centimeters, if we replace we have:
A = 6 * (4 ^ 2)
A = 96
96 square centimeters is the area of a cube, but since the area of the object would be the sum of the area of all the cubes, then:
AT = 96 * 5
AT = 480 cm ^ 2
The surface area of the object formed with the cubes is 480 cm ^ 2
