What is the surface area of the square pyramid?

Pavel [41]

The base is a square, therefore all the sides of the base are the same. This also means all the triangles have the same area.

10*10 = 100 cm^2 for the base

0.5*10*12 = 60 cm^2 for each triangle

100 + 4(60) = 340 cm^2

Answer:

The solution to the inequality is:

$x$

The number line solution graph is also attached below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality

$2(x-3)-8< -4$

Add 8 to both sides

$2\left(x-3\right)-8+8$

$2\left(x-3\right)$

Divide both sides by 2

$\frac{2\left(x-3\right)}{2}$

$x-3$

Add 3 to both sides

$x-3+3$

$x$

Thus, the solution to the inequality is:

$x$

The number line solution graph is also attached below.
