Let be the amount (gal) of the 40% slime solution you end up using. You want to end up with 120 gal of the 50% solution, so that you would use
gal of the 70% solution.
You want the final solution to consist of 50% slime, or 60 gal of slime. Each gal of the 40% solution contributes 0.4 gal of slime, while each gal of the 70% solution contributes 0.7 gal of slime. This means
so the answer is B.

Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the surface area of a pyramid is:
B represents the area of the base, which in this case is a triangle. We will figure out the area of the base first, using the formula for the area of a triangle.
A = 10.75
Now we can plug in 10.75 for B.
The cursive L will be the lateral height, which is 5. Since there are 3 sides on the base we can put that in for the number of base sides, and the base is 5.
