Polygon, 3 straight sides
7 (6) + 14!!! And this needs to be 20 characters long so I’m adding this
I would think that all but one point would be on the line. One way to approach this problem is to find the equation of the line based upon any two points chosen at random, and then determine whether or not the other points satisfy this equation. Next time, would you please enclose the coordinates of each point inside parentheses: (2.5,14), (2.25,12), and so on, to avoid confusion.
14-12
slope of line thru 1st 2 points is m = ---------------- = 2/0.25 = 8
2.50-2.25
What is the eqn of the line: y = mx + b becomes
14 = (8)(2.5) + b; find b:
14-20 = b = -6. Then, y = 8x - 6.
Now determine whether (12,1.25) lies on this line.
Is 1.25 = 8(12) - 6? Is 1.25 = 90? No. So, unless I've made arithmetic mistakes, (1.25, 5) does not lie on the line thru (2.5,14) and (2.25,12).
Why not work this problem out yourself using my approach as a guide?
Answer:
y=(0,-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the y-intercept, substitute in 0 for x and solve for y
Area of the square base = 5^2 = 25 cm^2
Area of one of the triangular side = 1/2 * 5 * 8 = 20 cm^2 and there are 4 sides
So the surface area of while pyramid = 4 * 20 + 25 = 105 cm^2
Volume of the cone = (1/3) pi r^2 h
= (1/3) pi * 5^2 * 8
= 209.44 ft^2
