Look at the picture of a scaffold used to support construction workers. The height of the scaffold can be changed by adjusting two slanting rods, one of which, labeled PR, is shown:

A support structure is shown in which a right triangle PQR is formed with the right angle at Q. The length of PQ is shown as 14 feet, and the length of QR is shown as 8 feet..

Part A: What is the approximate length of rod PR? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. Explain how you found your answer, stating the theorem you used. Show all your work. (5 points)

Part B: The length of rod PR is adjusted to 17 feet. If width PQ remains the same, what is the approximate new height QR of the scaffold? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. Show all your work. (5 points)

Complete the worksheet. use 3.14 for π and round all decimals to the nearest hundredth.find the volume of the composite three-dimensional figure above. important terms are written in bold.1. the pyramid has a square base that is inscribed in the circular base of the cone. draw an image of the composite shape of the base. 2. if the side length of the square base is 8 units long, what is the diameter of the circular base of the cone from the picture in number 1? 3. now that the diameter has been calculated, what is the circular area of the cone? ignore the square base of the pyramid.? 4. what is the formula for volume of a cone? 5.to calculate the volume of the cone, the height is still needed. if the cone has a lateral surface with a length of 13 units, what is the height of the cone? 6.now find the volume of the cone. do not include the empty space for the pyramid. 7.. the side length of the square base of the pyramid is 8 units long. what is the base area of the pyramid? 8.what is the formula for the volume of a pyramid9. since the cone and the pyramid share the same vertex, what is the volume of the pyramid10.using the volume of the cone and the pyramid, find the volume of the composite shape. remember, the pyramid is empty. 11,. referring to the picture in number 1, what is the area of the composite base knowing that the square is empty? 12what is the formula to find the lateral surface area of a cone? (13find the lateral surface area of the cone14what is the lateral surface area shape of the pyramid? what is the formula for its area? 15to find the lateral surface area of the pyramid the length is still needed. calculate the lateral surface length of the pyramid. 16 now that the lateral surface length is known, what is the lateral surface area of the pyramid17. using the lateral surface areas of the cone and pyramid, along with the area of the composite base, what is the total surface area?
