1. square base area= 25 inches
2. using the slanted 6.5
=1/2base , therefore 5/2=2.5 inches
3. then use pythagoras.... c=6.5, a=2.5
c^2=a^2 + b^2
(do this urself)
4. when u find what b is... that's the height of one of the triangle
base= 2.5 (look at step 2 if u don't understand this bit)
height=b (refer to step 3)
5. then work out the area of 1 triangle using that...
6. then have (the answer u work out in step 5 ) multiply 4
this will give u the area for the all of the 4 triangles...
7. Then add together the square based area in step 1..(25)
to the 4 triangular, area faces (i.e from step 6) - the total will be ur answer for the amount of cardboard!!
p.s don't forget the units!!!
this would be -18 hope it helped
We know that sum of two sides in any triangle must be greater than the measure of third (longest) side otherwise triangle will not be formed.
According to picture longest side is 18
So this triangle must follow inequality
9+x>18
or 9-9+x>18-9
or x>9
that means value of x must be more than 9.
choices a, c, d are greater than 9 except choice b
Hence choice B-9 is the final answer.
