Answer:

The difference in the areas of the cross section is 32 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The height of the rectangular pyramid = 8 meters

The length of the base of the pyramid = 7 meters

The width of the base of the pyramid = 15 meters

Whereby triangular cross sections are formed through the vertex and perpendicular to the base, and to each other, we have;

The sides of the two triangles consists of the following;

1) Two slant height of the pyramid each

2) The two perpendicular lines joining the midpoints of the opposite sides of the base of the pyramid with length equal to the length of the adjacent side to the sides from which they are drawn which are 15 meters and 7 meters

3) The two lines and the corresponding slant height form triangles cross section which are perpendicular to each other.

the slant height, h_l, is given as follows;

h_l = √(8² + (15/2)²) ≈ 10.966

For the triangular cross section with base = 15 m

The area of the cross section = 1/2 × Base₁₅ × Height = 1/2 × 15 m × 8 m = 60 m²

For the triangular cross section with base = 7 m

The area of the cross section = 1/2 × Base₇ × Height = 1/2 × 7 m × 8 m = 28 m²

The difference in the areas of the cross section = 60 m² - 28 m² = 32 m².

Integers are numbers like ...-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3... and so on. So, according to this definition, let's solve this problem:


28. We know that the product of three integers is -3. So, the statement states that we have three factor, so:


a.b.c = -3


The possible values of the factors are:

  • Factors are: 3, 1 and -1 in which case:

(3)(1)(-1) = -3

  • Factors are: -3, 1 and 1 in which case:

(-3)(1)(1) = -3


29. In this problem we know two nonzero integers, that is, they cannot be equal to zero. Thus, they must have different sign, that is, one of them must be positive and the other negative. For instance:


  • -9 and 2

(-9)(2) = -18, So -18 is less than -9 and 2


Another example:


  • 1 and -8

(1)(-8) = -8, So -8 is equal to -8 and -8 is less than 1.


30. The sign of the product of two integers with the same sign is positive, that is:


(+)(+) = (+) and

(-)(-) = (+)


So, the sign of the product of three integers with the same sign are two options:

  • <u>Option 1.</u> The three integers are positive in which case:

(+)(+)(+) = (+), So the sign of the product is positive


  • <u>Option 2.</u> The three integers are negative in which case:

(-)(-)(-) = (-), So the sign of the product is negative.


This option two gives us that result because:


(-)(-) = (+) and (+)(-) = (-)

Write an equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the given point.
castortr0y [4]
The points it gives you are y intercepts, and because you’re trying to find lines parallel- the only thing that changes for the equation is the y intercept.

1) y=2x+4
2) y=-x+7
3)y=-8x-2

Need help with all And have to show work
kari74 [83]
Altho' I can easily guess what you're supposed to do here, I must point out that you haven't included the instructions for this problem.

I'll help you by example.  Let's look at the first problem:

"Evaluate  6(z-1) at z-4."

Due to "order of operations" rules, we must do the work inside the parentheses FIRST.  Replace the z inside (z-1) with "-4".  We obtain

6(-4-1) = 6(-5) = -30 (answer.)

Your turn.  Try the next one.  If it's unclear, as questions.
