The length of a side of the base of a square pyramid is 15 inches. the pyramid has a lateral area of 270 square inches. what is the slant height of the pyramid?

The slant height of the pyramid is

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The lateral area of the square base pyramid is equal to

where

b is the length side of the base

L is the slant height of the pyramid

we have

substitute the values and solve for L

first anwser choice.

step-by-step explanation:

the greater/less or equal to symbol (> or < with the line at the bottom) is a closed/filled in circle.

-5c + 2 _< _27

subtract from both sides by 2

-5c _< _ 27

divide both sides by -5

c _< _ 5.4

flip the inequality sign

c _> _5.4

the only possible answer that would match the simplified inequality is the first answer choice
