Answer:
should be 89 since it's directly across
Let's make a system of equations to solve for this:
n + q = 84
0.05n + 0.25q = 12.80
where n = nickels and q = quarters.
---
Solve for n in the first equation by subtracting q from both sides.
n = 84 - q
---
Plug n into the second equation.
0.05(84 - q) + 0.25q = 12.80
Distribute 0.05 inside the parentheses.
4.2 - 0.05q + 0.25q = 12.80
Combine like terms.
4.2 + 0.2q = 12.80
Subtract 4.2 from both sides.
0.2q = 8.6
Divide both sides by 0.2.
q = 43
---
Plug 43 for q in the first equation.
n + (43) = 84
Subtract 43 from both sides.
n = 41
---
There are 41 nickels and 43 quarters in the piggy bank. ✅

It can seem complex at first but you just have to think it through.
I use pythagoras' theorem to find the diagonal of the base square and then use that information along with the height with the aid of that ever so handy pythagoras' theorem to find the length of the slope.
Answer:
A square
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the base is a square, any plane of the pyramid parallel to the base is shaped like a square (except the very top one which is a point).
