Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
First simplify like terms (things with the same letter):
3g + 7g + 8 = -10 + g
10g + 8 = -10 + g
Next we should take g off both sides:
9g + 8 = -10
Next isolate 9g by taking 8 off both sides:
9g = -18
Next divide both sides by 9 to find the value of g:
g = -2
297 cm is the total surface area of the square pyramid
Start by finding the area of each smaller right triangle.
Right triangle area = (1/2)hb -> h = height & b = base
b = 4 & h = 3
(1/2)(4)(3) = 6
6*2 = 12 (there are two right triangles)
The area of the entire triangle is 12yd^2
