We know that
<span>Of all the rectangles having same area, square has the least perimeter
</span>
area of square=x²
where
x is the length side of the square
A=72 cm²
72=x²
x=√72-----> x=6√2 cm

Perimeter of square=4*x------> 4*(6√2)-----> P=24√2 cm
P=33.94 cm

the answer is
the perimeter is equal to 24√2 cm or 33.94 cm

What is the volume of a regular pyramid having a base area of 24 in.² and a height of 6 inches?

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

48 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume (V) of a pyramid is calculated as

V = $\frac{1}{3}$ × area of base × height

here area of base = 24 and height = 6, so

V = $\frac{1}{3}$ × 24 × 6 = 8 × 6 = 48 in³

The equation in slope intercept form

Solving (3):

$m = -1$

$(x_1,y_1) =(4,-4)$

The equation in slope intercept form is:

$y = m(x - x_1) + y_1$

This gives:

$y = -1(x - 4) -4$

Expand

$y = -x + 4 -4$

$y = -x$

Solving (5):

$m = -3$

$(x_1,y_1) = (1,-5)$

The equation in slope intercept form is:

$y = m(x - x_1) + y_1$

This gives:

$y = -3(x - 1) - 5$

Expand

$y = -3x + 3 - 5$

$y = -3x -2$

Can someone please help me

salantis [7]

Using Pythagorean theorem

$\\ \sf\longmapsto P^2=H^2-B^2$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto P^2=6^2-5^2$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto P^2=36-25$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto P^2=11$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto P=3.2$
