Answer:
252 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Georgia needs 4 triangles, each of which has a base of 9 inches and a height of 14 inches. The area of a triangle is ...
A = (1/2)bh
so one face of Georgia's pyramid will have an area of ...
A = (1/2)(9 in)(14 in) = 63 in^2
Then all four faces will have a total area of ...
(63 in^2) · 4 = 252 in^2

Comment on the pattern
The pattern shown includes the base of the pyramid. The problem text says the base is not included. We have assumed that the base is not included. (For Georgia's pyramid, a different pattern would be more to the point: see attachment.)

<h3>What is the formula for probability?</h3>Divide the number of events by the number of possible outcomes
The sample space is,In total there are 6 ways to combine different colors with coin sides.
Therefore ,the probability that the result is green - tail is 1/6.
