Question

Hep Needed!

Answer 1

This is a multi step problem.

Answer 2

Whats first?

Answer 3

Use Pythagorean theorem

Answer 4

\[b ^{2}*c ^{2}=a ^{2}\]
Because wwe are trying to find the lst side.

Answer 5

Sorry +

Answer 6

Beg to differ.

Answer 7

The slant height is the hypotenuse of a right triangle formed between a point midway along an edge of the pyramid, the top of it, and a point directly below the top of the pyramid.

Answer 8

32^2 + 34^2 = a^2

1024 + 1156 = 2180

So the answer is 46.7?

Answer 9

The volume of a pyramid is 1/3 the area of the base times the vertical height.

Answer 10

height is missing though

Answer 11

The vertical is not given so we use Pythagorean theorem

Answer 12

Here are the answer choices

a. 30,720 cm^2
b. 15,360 cm^2
c. 11, 605 cm^2
d. 10,240 cm^2

Answer 13

Okay, the volume of the pyramid id the area of the square base multiplied by the STRAIGHT height of the pyramid. We need to find the STRAIGHT height.

Answer 14

We need the theorem actually.

Answer 15

So use the equation i told then solve for a

Answer 16

A =??

Answer 17

One side of this right triangle is the height of the pyramid, \(32~cm\). The other is a line from the center of a side to the center of the square. This will be \(\frac{1}{2}\) of the length of a side or \(17~cm\).

Answer 18

So whats next?

Answer 19

@ayyookyndall said 46.7
So now...
46.7(32^2/3)

Answer 20

What is \[32^{2}\]

Answer 21

1024

Answer 22

Okay, I'm leaving. Too many hands in the pot.

Answer 23

\[46.7(1024/3)\]

Answer 24

What is 1024/3?

Answer 25

wht the hell is this [Math Processing Error]

Answer 26

why does it come every time @iYuko

Answer 27

@ayyookyndall
1024/3

Answer 28

Hypotenuse=\(\sqrt{34^2+17^2}=\)

Answer 29

@iYuko
341.3

Answer 30

@Joel_the_boss u r saying Hypotenuse=[Math Processing Error]

Answer 31

46.7*341.3

Answer 32

1445
@Joel_the_boss

Answer 33

15938.71
@iYuko

Answer 34

@Joel_the_boss answer my question first

Answer 35

I messed up.....

Answer 36

Hmmmm... let me go look back.

Answer 37

So whats next?

Answer 38

I'm not sure that was supposed to be the answer.

Answer 39

But it was wrong.

Answer 40

I believe its D

Answer 41

@dtan5457 @Joel_the_boss

Answer 42

@ayyookyndall Ok not 34 I meant 32.

\[\sqrt{32^2+17^2}=?\]

do exponents and not the addition. that way we can continue the next step.

Answer 43

1024 + 289

Answer 44

\(\sqrt{1024+289}=1313\)

\(\sqrt{1313}=?\)

Ok now we can square root

so what did you get? :)

Answer 45

36.235

Answer 46

Whats next?

Answer 47

Well that's akward I solved it LOL

What exactly were you looking for? I thought you wanted me to solve ;)

Answer 48

Well was the answer you got one of the answer choices?

Answer 49

@Joel_the_boss ??

Answer 50

Ok

@iYuko We need to work together because were both lost

@thomaster What did we do wrong.. ;-;

Answer 51

Yea, but I have no clue what I did wrong.

Answer 52

http://www.calculatorsoup.com/calculators/geometry-solids/pyramid.php

Try this LOL Im not the best at geometry

Answer 53

We have to use the Pythagorean theorem

Answer 54

A calculator...LOL!!!
They make a calculator for this!

Answer 55

You don't use 32, you use half of 32. The triangle inside that pyramid consists of the slant height, HALF of the square's side and the straight height.

Answer 56

They have a calculator for everything XD

Answer 57

V = 11605.3 cm3

Answer 58

So what would be the formula @Isaiah.Feynman

Answer 59

#TheCalculator

Answer 60

The calculator says V = 11605.3 cm3

Answer 61

Thats an option!!!

Answer 62

What if that option is wrong? :P

Answer 63

Ehh, that's a DA, at least explain how you got it. :P

Answer 64

@ayyookyndall
We rounded 46.7 wrong
Its supposed to be 40.8412

Answer 65

That's y our answer was wrong

Answer 66

Good enough @Joel_the_boss ? Or do I need to explain more?

Answer 67

That's the reason our answer is wrong.

Answer 68

u still dint get the answer @ayyookyndall

Answer 69

***What is the volume of a square pyramid with base edges of 32 cm and a slant height of 34 cm?****

To solve these problems, you should follow this process.

1. The first step is find the formula for the volume of a pyramid.
You may have memorized it? or look in your notes, or google it. But find it.

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} A h \]
where A is the area of the base (bottom face of the pyramid)

2. Try to sketch the problem. This might be harder than step 1. But try
