Answer:

10,583 flexible cubes

9915 rigid cubes

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the surface area of a square pyramid is area of base plus perimeter of base multiplied by the slant height

Surface area = A + 1/2·p·s

The volume of the pyramid = 1/3×A×h

Where:

A = Area of the base = 20 × 20 = 400 ft²

h = The height of the pyramid = √((slant height)² - ((base side length)/2)²)

h = √(80² - (20/2)²) = 30·√7

The volume of the pyramid = 1/3*400*30·√7 = 4000·√7 ft³ = 10,583.005 ft³

If the cubes are flexible, approximately 10,583 cubes

For rigid cubes we have

Given that the height of the pyramid = 30·√7

The slope of the pyramid = 30·√7/10 = 3·√7

So an increase in height of 1 foot gives a reduction in width of 2/(3·√7)

The bottom can hold 400 cubes

The next layer can hold 19×19 = 361

3rd 361

4th 361

5th 324

6th 324

7th 324

8th 324

9th

Continuing, we get a total of about 9915 rigid cubes in the pyramid.

y=x²-10x-7

a>0 so we will be looking for minimum

x=-b/2a=10/2=5

y=25-50-7=-32

Answer: (5;32)

y=-4x²-8x+1

а<0 so we will be looking for maximum

х=-b/2a=8/-8=-1

у=4+8+1=13

Maximum point (-1;13)

Answer:

138°

Step-by-step explanation:

x+115°=6x° [ being vertically opposite angle]

or, 115=6x - x

or, 115=5x

or, 115/5 =x

or, x=23

Then,

x+115°

= 23+115°

=138°
