The answer is 91.

The question is based on on a mathematical topic called ''Geometry'', and is simply asking for the total number of the oranges in the four-sided pyramid.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

In geometry, a pyramid is a polyhedron that is constructed when the polygonal base is connected to an iconic surface. The base edge and apex form a triangle that is called a lateral face. A pyramid can also be with an n-sided base that has n + 1 vertices, n + 1 faces, and 2n edges.

But the first thing to do is to get the number of oranges in each phases of the four-sided pyramid. To do this, we square the root the numbers of the vertices.

1 squared = 1 [for the first phase of the pyramid]

2 squared   =4 [we got 4 as our answer for the second layer of the pyramid]

3 squared = 9 [9, for the third phase of pyramid]

4 squared = 16  

5 squared = 25  

6 squared = 36 [and 36 is the last in the pyramid]

The addition of the total oranges in each phase of the six layers is 91.

The total number of oranges in the pile = 1+4+9+16+25+36=91

Each layer contains the square of the layer number.
<span>So,
Let's figure out :
1 squared = 1 </span>
<span>2 squared = 4 </span>
<span>3 squared = 9 </span>
<span>4 squared = 16 </span>
<span>5 squared = 25 
</span>6 squared = 36
<span>Hence,
The total number of oranges in the pile = 1+4+9+16+25+36
                                                               = 91 oranges

Why do non-native plants threaten native plants?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Destruction and replacement of ournative plants by invasive species has several significant consequences. Wildlife that depends on native plants is often unable to adapt and may be forced to leave the area or die out.Invasive aquatic plants can completely fill a water body, driving fish and wildlife from the area.

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is A) computer simulation</em>

Explanation:

Models can be described as as a representation of ideas, events or processes. Models might be mathematical, graphical, visual or computer simulations depending on the type of event being represented.

For studying the motion of clods, a computer simulation will be best because it will make it easier to understand the events related to moving clouds during thunderstorms.

An equation, map or graph cannot be used because neither of them can depict the information for motion of clouds in the atmosphere during a thunderstorm.
