A square pyramid has sides of 8 m. Each face is an equilateral triangle. What is the lateral area of the pyramid?

Answer:

The lateral area is equal to

LA=64\sqrt{3}\ m^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem the lateral area is equal to the area of one equilateral triangle multiplied by 4

To find the area of one equilateral triangle calculate the height

The area of the triangle is equal to

A=\frac{1}{2}bh

we have

b=8\ m

Applying the Pythagoras theorem

h^{2}=8^{2} -4^{2} \\h^{2}=64-16\\ h=\sqrt{48} \\ h=4\sqrt{3}\ m

The area of one triangle is equal to

A=\frac{1}{2}(8)(4\sqrt{3})\ m^{2}

so

The lateral area is equal to

LA=4\frac{1}{2}(8)(4\sqrt{3})=64\sqrt{3}\ m^{2}

If m∠DEF = 117°, find the value of x
ollegr [7]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

∠DEF = 117°

∠DEG = (12x + 1)°

∠GEF = (5x - 3)°

Find:

value of x

Computation:

∠DEF = ∠DEG + ∠GEF

117° = (12x + 1)° + (5x - 3)°

117° = 17 x - 2

x = 7

In circle Y, what is m∠SZT?
lara31 [8.8K]
We first solve for angle TZU which is determined by the formula:
mTZU = 0.5(arcTU + arcSR)
mTZU = 0.5(72°+100°) = 86°

By vertical angle, mTZU = mSZR = 86°

We note that the sum of all angles formed is 360°. Solving for the remaining angles:
360° - 86° - 86° = 188°

Since mSZT is equal to mRZU by vertical angle, we divide 188° by 2.
188°/2 = 94°

m∠SZT = 94°

Lorena calculated the slope of the linear function that is represented by the table of values as shown. x y –10 15 –8 27 –6 39 –
Anvisha [2.4K]

She made a mistake when she subtracted x1 from x2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

a)

The formula used by Lorena to calculate the slope between 2 points is correct

So the statement given in option 1 is not the reason for her mistake

Step 2:

b)

She has taken the fourth and fifth point and correctly used the x and y co ordinates to calculate the slope

Hence the statement in second option is not true

Step 3:

c)

While calculating the slope the denominator is -2 - (-4) . This gives 2 as the answer. But she has made a mistake in this subtraction giving -6 as the answer.

Hence she has made a mistake in subtracting x1 from x2 and this statement is true

Step 4:

d)

She has not made any mistake in subtracting y1 from y2. Hence this statement is not true
