I'm trying so hard to understand this, but I am currently failing geometry just because of this unit. I tried looking up information, writing notes, everything. Hopefully someone can help me ASAP. Please and thank you for all your help.

 

1. The base of a regular pyramid is a hexagon.

 

What is the area of the base of the pyramid?

Enter your answer in the box. Express your answer in radical form.

1.  We have 12 congruent triangles here

 

We can find the base of each  as

 

cos 60  =  base/14    

 1/2  = base / 14      multiply both sides by 14

7  = base

 

We can find the height of each as

 

sin 60  =  a / 14     

√3/2  = a / 14    multiply both sides by 14

7√3  = a

 

So......the area of the hexagon is

 

12  * (1/2) (base)(height)  =

 

6 ( 7) (7√3)  =  294√3  cm^2

2.  For the lateral surface area, we have 8 congruent triangles  each with the same base as the height because both are opposite 45 degree angles

 

The base of each triangle  =  height  =  5

 

So....the lateral surface area  =

 

8 (1/2) (base) (height)  =

4 (5)(5)  =  100

 

The area of the base  is just  side^2  =  10^2   =  100

 

So.....the  surface area  =  100 + 100  =   200 ft^2

3.   We have 8 congruent 30-60-90 triangles

The base of each  =  4.6/ 2   =  2.3

The height of each is opposite the 60° angle  = √3 * base  = √3 * 2.3

 

So.....the lateral surface area  is

 

8 (1/2) (base) (height) =

4 (2.3)(√3 * 2.3)  ≈  36.65 yd^2 

 

The base area  =  side^2  =  4.6^2  = 21.16 yd^2

 

So....the total area  is     36.65 + 21.16  =  57.8 yd^2

Last one

 

We have 8 congruent triangles each with a base  of 5.8 cm

 

We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the slant height of each  =

 

√[ 7^2 + 7^2]  =  √ [2 * 7^2]   =  7√2

 

So.....the lateral area  is

 

8 (1/2) (base) (slant height)  =

 

4 (5.8) (7√2 )  =  229. 7 cm^2
