<h2>Answer:</h2>

The height of a pyramid is the perpendicular height of the apex above the base. Apex is the pin point above the pyramid, where all the triangular faces join.

The slant height of a pyramid is defined as the distance measured along a lateral face of the pyramid from the base to the apex along the center of the face.

The slant height is found by using the Pythagorean theorem where the slant height is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

Answer:

10,692

Step-by-step explanation:

GCF stands for Greatest Common Factor.

The way to find it is easy once you have the prime decomposition.

Search for common factors in the decomposition and take the least power, then multiply them all.

So, in our case, as the numbers are already broken down into prime factors , we have

$GFC(a,b)=2^2.3^5.11=10,692$

Part 1) Use the fact that there are 12 inches in a foot

a) How many inches tall is a 7 foot basketball player?

we know that

1 foot=12 inches

so by proportion

$\frac{12}{1} \frac{inches}{foot} =\frac{x}{7} \frac{inches}{feet} \\ \\x=12*7\\ \\x=84\ inches$

therefore

the answer Part 1a) is

$84\ inches$

Part b) If a yard is a 3 feet long, how many inches are in a yard?

we know that

1 yard=3 feet

1 foot=12 inches

Convert 3 feet to inches

by proportion

$\frac{12}{1} \frac{inches}{foot} =\frac{x}{3} \frac{inches}{feet} \\ \\x=12*3\\ \\x=36\ inches$

therefore

the answer Part 1b) is

$36\ inches$

Part 2) At the farmer's market two pounds of peaches cost $4.20 How much will five pounds cost?

by proportion

$\frac{4.20}{2} \frac{\$}{pounds} =\frac{x}{5} \frac{\$}{pounds} \\ \\2*x=4.2*5\\ \\x=4.2*5/2=\$10.5$

therefore

the answer Part 2) is

$\$10.5$

Part 3) Janice mother gave her a ten dollars bill to buy five pounds each of bananas and apples at the grocery store. When she got there she found that bananas were 80 c per pound and apples were $1.40 per pound.

Did Janice's mother give her enough money? If so, should she receive any change? If not, how much more money does she need?

we know that

Find the cost of the bananas

$5\ pounds*0.80\frac{\$}{pounds}=\$4$
