Geometry!1).what is the value of x? enter your answer, as a decimal, in the box. 2). what is the value of c? enter your answer in the box.

Problem One
Find AM
AM = 71.5 - 22 = 49.5

Step Two
State the Givens.
AM = 49.5
MN = 71.5
MB = x
MP = 97.5

Step Three
Set up the Proportion

AM : NM :: x : PM
49.5 : 71.5 :: x : 97.5

Substitute and solve
49.5 / 71.5 = x / 97.5    Cross Multiply
49.5 * 97.5 = 71.5 * x   Combine the numbers on the left.
4860.375 = 71.5 * x     Divide by 71.5
4860.375 / 71.5 = x      
x = 67.98

Problem Two
Remark
This is just a straight application of the Pythagorean Theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a = 10
b = 24
c = ??

10^2 + 24^2 = c^2
100 + 576 = c^2
676 = c^2
sqrt(c^2) = sqrt(676)
c = 26  <<<< answer

Hello!

the answer is:

the lateral area is equal to

why?

to find the lateral area of the square pyramid, first we need to find the perimeter of the base, and then, find the lateral area using the following formulas:

where,

s, is the base length

slant height, is the height of a the side of the pyramid

we are given:

now, calculating the perimeter of the base, we have:

then, calculating the lateral area:

hence, we have that the lateral area is equal to

have a nice day!
