To find the lateral surface area of a pyramid, you can find the area of each triangle, A = 1/2bh or A = 1/2lw, then multiply by the number of triangles, which would be based on the number of sides of the base; or you can take half the perimeter and multiply by the slant height.

Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Corresponding segments of similar triangles are proportional. Here, the similar triangles are ...
ΔABC ~ ΔADE
so the relationship between the sides is ...
BC/BA = DE/DA . . . . . . we put the unknown value in the numerator
x/4 = 12/(4+8)
x = 4(1) = 4
The length of side x is 4.
Answer:
Base angle = 72
Vertex angle = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Measure of the base angle = x. But there are two of them. (Definition of isosceles). Keep that in mind.
The vertex angle is 1/4 of one of the base angles. That means that the vertex is 1/4 x
All three angles = 180 degrees.
So we have x + x + x/4 = 180 degrees.
change 1/4x to 0.25x x since 1/4 = 0.25
Equation
x + x + 0.25 = 180
2.5x = 180
Solution
2.5x = 180 Divide by 2.5 on both sides
2.5x/2.5 = 180/2.5
x = 72
Answer
That means that each base angle = 72 degrees
The Vertex Angle = 72/4 = 18
- To divide the triangles into these regions, you should construct the <u>perpendicular bisector</u> of each segment.
- These perpendicular bisectors intersect and divide each triangle into three regions.
- The points in each region are those closest to the vertex in that <u>region</u>.
<h3>What is a triangle?</h3>
A triangle can be defined as a two-dimensional geometric shape that comprises three (3) sides, three (3) vertices and three (3) angles only.
<h3>What is a line segment?</h3>
A line segment can be defined as the part of a line in a geometric figure such as a triangle, circle, quadrilateral, etc., that is bounded by two (2) distinct points and it typically has a fixed length.
<h3>What is a
perpendicular bisector?</h3>
A perpendicular bisector can be defined as a type of line that bisects (divides) a line segment exactly into two (2) halves and forms an angle of 90 degrees at the point of intersection.
In this scenario, we can reasonably infer that to divide the triangles into these regions, you should construct the <u>perpendicular bisector</u> of each segment. These perpendicular bisectors intersect and divide each triangle into three regions. The points in each region are those closest to the vertex in that <u>region</u>.
