Answer:

The sample size is  n  = 87

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The standard deviation is  \sigma  =  0.04 \  inches

       The  precision is d =  \pm  0.005 \ inches

        The confidence level is C =98%

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as  

        n  =  \frac{ Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } ^2*  \alpha^2 }{d^2}

Where  \alpha  is the level of significance which is mathematically evaluated as

        \alpha  =  100 - 98

        \alpha  =  2%

        \alpha  = 0.02

and  Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } is the critical value of \alpha which is obtained from the normal distribution table as  2.326

  substituting values

         n  =  \frac{2.326 ^2*  0.02^2 }{0.005^2}

        n  = 87

The general formula of a pyramid with any base is 1/3 bh where b is the area of the base and h is the height. In this case, the height of the pyramid is said to be twice the height of the prism, h. Hence the area becomes 1/3 b*2h or equal to option A. 2/3
