Answer:

51m

Step-by-step explanation:

For this equation, you want to use pythagoras' theorem (or pythagorean theorem) to work out the hypotenuse (diagonal line)

The formula for this is a²+b²=c², where c is the hypotenuse.

We can sub in the 2 sides for a and b, turning the equation into 24²+45²=c².

Working out the squares gives 576+2025=c², which can be solved to c²=2601.

To get c, we must square root both sides, which results in c=51m.

**This question involves pythagoras' theorem, which you may wish to revise. I'm always happy to help!

Answer:

U=80

B=44

Q=93

Step-by-step explanation:

U:180=U+37+63

180=U+100

180-100=U+100-100

80=U

B:180=B+90+46

180=B+136

180-136=B+136-136

44=B

Q:180=Q+36+51

180=Q+87

180-87=Q+87-87

93=Q

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

lateral area = 2320 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The question wants us to calculate the lateral area of a square base pyramid. The square base pyramid has a side of 40 meters.The height is 21 meters.

Half of the square base is 40/2 =  20 meters . With the height it forms a right angle triangle. The hypotenuse side is the slant height of the pyramid.

Using Pythagoras's theorem

c² = a² + b²

c² = 20² + 21²

c² = 400 + 441

c² = 841

square root both sides

c = √841

c = 29 meters

The slant height of the pyramid is 29 meters.

The pyramid has four sided triangle. The lateral area is 4 multiply by the area of one triangle.

area of triangle = 1/2 × base × height

base = 40 meters

height = 29 meters

area = 1/2 × 40 × 29

area = 580

area of one triangle = 580 m²

Lateral area = 4(580)

lateral area = 2320 m²
