Answer:

40 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve this by backtracking. 13.00=0.3m+1 when you subtract 13 and 1 you will get 12. With 12 you will now divde by 0.3, then you will get the answer which is 40. So m=40. Backtracking is like reverse PEMDAS.

Answer:

m = 40 miles

He traveled 40 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is C(m) = 0.3m + 1 . According to the question the function describes the relationship between the number miles traveled(m) and the total cost of the ride(C) which is the sum of the charges of the passengers ride($1) and an additional cost of $0.30 for each mile traveled. m represent number of miles traveled in the function.

If the taxi company charges you $ 13.00(total cost), the distance one travels in miles can be computed as follows:

C = $13

m = ?

C(m) = 0.3(m) + 1

13 = 0.3m + 1

13 - 1 = 0.3m

0.3m = 12

divide both sides by 0.3

m = 12/0.3

m = 40 miles

This net can be folded to make a square pyramid. what is the surface area of the pyramid
givi [52]

Answer:  

85in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the surface area we need to find the followng areas:  

  • area of the square  
  • area of a triangle and multiply it by 4 (because there are 4 triangles)

And once we have those areas, we add them to find the surface area.

Area of the square:

the formula to find the area of a square is:

a_{square}=l^2

where l is the length of the side: l=5in

thus the area of the square is:

a_{square}=(5in)^2

a_{square}=25in^2

Area of the triangles:

the are of 1 triangle is given by

a_{triangle} =\frac{b*h}{2}

where b is the base of the triangle: b=5in (the base of the triangle is the side of the square)

and h is the height of the triangle: h=6in

thus, the area of 1 triangle is:

a_{triangle} =\frac{(5in)*(6in)}{2}

a_{triangle} =\frac{30in^2}{2}

a_{triangle} =15in^2

the area of the 4 triangles is (we multiply by 4):

a_{4-triangles}=4(15in^2)

a_{4-triangles}=60in^2

finally we add the area of the square and the area of the 4 triangles to find the total surface area:

Surface=25in^2+60in^2

Surface=85in^2
