Answer:

The surface area of the square pyramid is 1,040 $cm^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the surface area of the square pyramid, we make use of the mathematical formula.

Mathematically, the formula for calculating the surface area A of a square pyramid is :

SA = $s^{2} + 2sl$ where s is the slant height and l is the base length

From the question, we can see that the slant height is 20cm and the base length is 16cm. We plug these into the equation above;

SA = $20^{2} + 2 * 16 * 20$ = 400 + 640 = 1,040 $cm^{2}$

Let $f(x)$ be a function defined for all positive real numbers satisfying the conditions $f(x) > 0$ for all $x > 0$ and $f

Suppose we choose $x=1$ and $y=\dfrac12$ . Then

$f(x-y)=\sqrt{f(xy)+1}\implies f\left(\dfrac12\right)=\sqrt{f\left(\dfrac12\right)+1}\implies f\left(\dfrac12\right)=\dfrac{1+\sqrt5}2$

Now suppose we choose $x,y$ such that

$\begin{cases}x-y=\dfrac12\\\\xy=2009\end{cases}$

where we pick the solution for this system such that $x>y>0$ . Then we find

$\dfrac{1+\sqrt5}2=\sqrt{f(2009)+1}\implies f(2009)=\dfrac{1+\sqrt5}2$

Note that you can always find a solution to the system above that satisfies $x>y>0$ as long as $x>\dfrac12$ . What this means is that you can always find the value of $f(x)$ as a (constant) function of $f\left(\dfrac12\right)$ .
