So hmm notice the picture below

the pyramid itself, is really, just one regular hexagon, at the bottom
and 6 triangles, stacked up at each other at the edges

now, if you just get the area of the regular hexagon, and the 6 triangles, add them up, that'd be the total surface area of the pyramid then
\bf \textit{area of a regular polygon}\\\\
A=\cfrac{1}{4}\cdot  n\cdot  s^2\cdot  cot\left( \frac{180}{n} \right)\qquad 
\begin{cases}
n=\textit{number of sides}\\
s=\textit{length of a side}\\
\frac{180}{n}=\textit{angle in degrees}\\
----------\\
n=6\\
s=4
\end{cases}\\\\\\ A=\cfrac{1}{4}\cdot  6\cdot  4^2\cdot  cot\left( \frac{180}{6} \right)

now, for the triangles, well, area of a triangle is 1/2 bh, as you'd know, and you have both

Which of the following describes the end behavior of y = -x^2+bx+c as x approaches either positive or negative infinity?
Pavlova-9 [17]
The end behavior model of y is -x^2.
As x approaches either positive or neg infinity, -x^2 will always be negative.
Thus, "B) y approaches neg infinity" is the correct one. 
Hope that will help :))

Now Cathy is three times as old as Katie. In six years Cathy will be only twice as old as Katie. How old is each girl now?
BabaBlast [244]
Katie is 6; Cathy is 18!

X- Katie’s age now and 3x -Cathys age now
In 6 years, Katie is 12 and Cathy is 24.

2 x (X+6) = 3x + 6
2x + 12 = 3x + 6
6 = x

Which expression represents the number 5i4+2i3+8i2+−4  rewritten in a+bi  form?
aniked [119]
Remember
i²=-1 so
i³=-i
i⁴=1

so
5i⁴+2i³+8i²-4
5(1)+2(-i)+8(-1)-4
5-2i-8-4
-7-2i is the form
