Problema Solution

the slant height of right pyramid is 9.00 in the base is 7.00 in square find the area of the entire surface

Answer provided by our tutors

Let

s = 9 in the slant height

b = the length of the base, b>0

B = 7 in^2 the area of the base

A = the entire area

A = B + 4*(1/2)(bs)

A = B + 2bs

We need to find b.

Since B = b^2 we have:

b^2 = 7

b = √7

Now we plug the value for b:

A = 7 + 2*9√7

A = 54.62 in^2

The area of the entire surface is 54.62 in^2.
