Question

Regular quadrilateral pyramid with base edge b=55 mm and lateral edge l = 7cm. Find the sum of all edges

Answer 1

Answer:

50cm or 500mm

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 base edges and 4 lateral edges, therefore, multiply the number for both edges by 4 and add.

Considering the fact that we were given two units of measurement, millimeters and centimeters, but we know that there are 10mm (millimeters) in a cm (centimeter) , we can just divide 55 by 10 to get 5.5.

Therefore;

5.5 x 4 = 22

7 x 4 = 28

28 + 22 = 50cm
