From the information given about the square pyramid, the maximum base length of the building is 67.42 cm.

<h3>How do you determine the maximum side length?</h3>

We are given the following  details  are:

Base = b

Slant height (l) = 5b

The lateral surface area is calculated using:

L = 2bl

So, we have:

L = 2 * b * 5b

Evaluate the product

L = 10b²

The total surface area is calculated using:

T = L + b²

So, we have:

T = 10b² + b²

Evaluate the sum

T = 11b²

Recall that the maximum surface area is 50,000 square feet

So, we have:

11b² = 50000

Divide both sides by 11

b² = 50000/11

Taking the square root of both sides, we have

b = 67.42

Hence, the maximum base length of the building is 67.42 cm

I don't really understand the question so can someone help me answer the question please?​

Answer:

1/ 3

Step-by-step explanation:

If each of the cards is turned over, the probability of picking up a card of one type P(E) becomes equal to:

=> P(E) = number of cards of the required type/ total number of cards

● Total number of spades( ♤ ) = 3

{the queen, one ace and the nine are all spades}

● Total number of cards = 6

Probability of drawing a spade= 3/ 6

= 1/ 2

● Total number of "7" = 1

● Total number of cards = 6

Probability of drawing a 7

= 1/ 6

Now, what's asked is the difference in the probabilities of drawing a spade and a seven.

= 1/ 2 - 1/ 6

= 3/ 6 - 1/ 6

= 2/ 6

= 1/ 3

Hence, 1/ 3 of a greater chance of drawing a spade over a 7.
