The right answer is:

area B = area C

We can solve this problem by using Kepler's laws of planetary motion. There are three Kepler's laws. In this exercise, we need to use the second law. According to this law, a line segment joining a planet and the sun sweeps out equals areas during equals intervals of time. So, a certain planet sweeps out an area B from the point P3 to P4 in an interval of time t. On the other hand, for the same interval of time t, the planet sweeps out an area C from point P4 to P5, that is equal to the previous area according to second kepler's law.

Kepler giscovered that area B = area C because they have the same time interval..

Find the total area the regular pyramid. T. A. =

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

T.A. = 16√3 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ The total area = the area of the four faces

∵ The four faces are equilateral triangles with side length 4

∵ Area of the equilateral Δ = 1/4 s² √3

∴ T.A. = 4 × 1/4 × 4² × √3 = 16√3 units²
