Question

Medal OR Fan

I have a question that has to do with slant height ill post the question in just a second

Answer 1

Use the Pythagorean Theorem

Answer 2

igreen help me

Answer 3

Height = 8

The triangle in the middle's base is half the triangular prisms base..

12 / 2 = 6

We have the two legs(6 and 8) now let's find the hypotenuse.

\(a^2 + b^2 = c^2\)

\(6^2 + 8^2 = c^2\)

Solve for 'c'

Answer 4

Simply use the pythagorous theorum:
\[c^2=a^2+b^2\]
Where:
\(a^2\) and \(b^2\) are any two sides of the triangle:
\(c^2\) is the hypotenuse

\[c^2=a^2+b^2\]
Substitute your values, and solve
\[c^2=a^2+b^2\]\[c^2=12^2+8^2\]\[c^2=208\]\[c=\sqrt{208}\]\[c=14.4222051\]\[c\approx14\]
So, the slant height is 14

Answer 5

@Ahsome We're not supposed to give answers..plus that's incorrect.

Answer 6

My brain just popped

Answer 7

Except, you would use 6, and not 12. This is because 12 is the whole base, while you only need half

Answer 8

Pyramid base = 12

Triangle in the middle's base = half the pyramid's base.

12 / 2 = 6

Therefore, the triangle's base is 6.

Answer 9

@Hayhaywild002, have you learnt how to use Pythagorous THeorum before?

Answer 10

Can you simplify \(6^2\) and \(8^2\)? @Hayhaywild002

Answer 11

so your saying igreen that.......

\[36+64=c^2\]

Answer 12

Yep

Answer 13

@Hayhaywild002 , yes :)

Answer 14

Now add 36 + 64

Answer 15

Then square root the value

Answer 16

Do i have to find the square root of it
??

Answer 17

Yep

Answer 18

Yes, now square both sides:

\(c = \sqrt{36 + 64}\)

Answer 19

C= 100 the the square root of that is 10?

Answer 20

Yes

Answer 21

What your saying that i got it right?!!!!

Answer 22

Yep, you got it.

Answer 23

Yes :)

Answer 24

ok so who wants a medal and who wants me to fan them

Answer 25

Its the reward for helping me

Answer 26

Give it to @iGreen

Answer 27

You can give 2 medals

Answer 28

I can?

Answer 29

It won't let me

Answer 30

Yeah, just make sure you haven't given any medals yet.

Then open the same post in a new tab and give both of us a medal..it only works on different people so you can't give 2 medals to one person.

Answer 31

I just gave a medal to you and @Ahsome

Answer 32

Thx @iGreen ;)

Answer 33

Np :P

Answer 34

thx guys

Answer 35

14 cm
