Answer:

The lateral area is 624 unit²

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The regular square pyramid has a square base and four congruent

 triangles

- The slant height of it = \sqrt{(\frac{1}{2}b)^{2}+h^{2}}, where

  b is the length of its base and h is the perpendicular height

- Its lateral area = \frac{1}{2}.p.l, p is the perimeter of the base

 and l is the slant height

* Lets solve the problem

∵ The base of the pyramid is a square with side length 24 units

∵ Its perpendicular height is 5 units

∵ The slant height (l) = \sqrt{(\frac{1}{2}b)^{2}+h^{2}}

∴ l = The slant height of it = \sqrt{(\frac{1}{2}.24)^{2}+5^{2}}

∴ l = \sqrt{(12)^{2}+25}=\sqrt{144+25}=\sqrt{169}=13

∴ l = 13 units

∵ Perimeter of the square = b × 4

∴ The perimeter of the base (p) = 24 × 4 = 96 units

∵ The lateral area = \frac{1}{2}.p.l

∴ The lateral area = \frac{1}{2}.(96).(13)

∴ The lateral area = 624 unit²

* The lateral area is 624 unit²

adoni [48]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{x=-4}

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+9)-4x=11x-13x+23\\\\(3)(x)+(3)(9)-4x=(11x-13x)+23\\\\3x+27-4x=-2x+23\\\\(3x-4x)+27=-2x+23\\\\-x+27=-2x+23\qquad|\text{subtrsact 27 from both sides}\\\\-x=-2x-4\qquad|\text{add}\ 2x\ \text{to both sides}\\\\x=-4
