Triangle X Y Z is shown. Angle Z W X is a right angle. An altitude is drawn from point W to point Y on side Z X to form a right angle. The length of W Y is 4, the length of Y X is a, the length of Z Y is 3, the length of Z W is c, and the length of W X is b. What is the value of a? 5 units
5 and one-third units
6 and two-thirds units
7 units

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

10

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is:

the lateral area is equal to

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
