Ake found an old toy square pyramid while he was cleaning out his closet. To help him finish cleaning out his closet, he placed all his old toys in the pyramid. If the pyramid had a height of 10 inches, a slant length of 15 inches, and a side base of 12 inches, how much could the pyramid hold?

answer:

125 yards

explanation:

75+50=125. that is my answer

wait nvm i know the correct answer now its 100%   81 square feet

isocolese triangle

we know that the line connect a and b is the hyptonuse

so first find the hypotonuse length using the distance formula, call the length c

since it is an isocolese triangle, the lengths of the legs are the same

using pythagorean theorem,

in this case, a=b since isocolese triangle so we get

or

we can find c so we can find the distances

we know that if we draw 2 circles, each has center at a and b, and find where they intersect, we can the 2 possible locations for c

if a has center at (xa,ya) and b has center at (xb,yb), then we can solve where

and

intersect to find where they intersect

i'm not going to put an example because i have to go to class. i hope this explanation is enough
