<span>In general, if the pyramid has 'x' sides, then it will have 'x' lateral faces. Total Number of Faces = Number of Base Faces + Number of Lateral Faces. Total Number of Faces = 2 + x. So the formula is F=x%2B2 where "x" is the number of sides that the pyramid has and "F" is the total number of faces.</span>

Answer: The expression for number of faces of a pyramid =1+n

Step-by-step explanation:

A Pyramid is a polyhedron or a three dimensional shape having a polygon base and all lateral faces are triangles .

Its base describe the number of other faces of it.

For example a triangular pyramid has a triangular base which gives rise to 3 lateral faces , and a rectangular pyramid has a rectangular base which give rise to 4 lateral faces and so on.....

So the total number of faces in a pyramid = base + lateral faces

If a pyramid has n sides therefore it give rise to n lateral faces such that

The total number of faces in a pyramid= 1+n .

Find the radius of a circle if the circumference is 66cm

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Approximately 10.5, or 10.5095541.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the radius given the circumference of a circle, we first have to divide the circumference by pi, or an estimation of 3.14. This will give us the diameter.

Since we know that the radius of a circle is simply half the diameter, we divide the number we got from the problem above by 2. This will give you your answer!

Sidana [21]

Answer:

231 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tom rented a truck with a base fee of 19.95. You will subtract this from the total since you just want to get the mileage.

Tom is getting charged .85 cents per mile driven.

Tom payed 216.30 subtotal minus the 19.95 base fee since we are trying to only see how many miles he drove.

(216.30-19.95=196.35) This will be total for each mile. All we need to do is divide to get the total of miles

(196.35÷.85= 231)

231 is the number of miles Tom drove.
