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

how can scientists accurately compare atmospheric composition today with atmospheric composition thousands of years ago?
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

They accurately compare the current atmosphere with the previous one, by assessing the amount of atmospheric gases present today, with the amount of atmospheric gases trapped in ice cores that they believe are millennial, that is, they have existed for thousands of years ago.

Explanation:

As we know, it is difficult to compare current characteristics of the planet earth with characteristics that the planet had in the past, thousands of years ago. This is because the ancient characteristics on earth are not fully available to be analyzed, since most of them have been modified over time.

To do this, scientists need to find factors that may have existed thousands of years ago and assess whether these factors have any account of the characteristics of the earth. In the case of atmospheric characteristics, it is common for scientists to compare the current atmosphere with the atmosphere of thousands of years ago, with the assessment of the amount of atmospheric gases trapped in ancient ice cores, with the amount of atmospheric gases present in the atmosphere today.

Why is the caloric value of some sugar alcohols less than 4 kcal/g? a. They cannot be transported into the mitochondria. b. None
avanturin [10]

Answer:

Option-C

Explanation:

The sugar alcohols are the carbohydrates which are neither considered sugars nor alcohols but they partially resemble the structure of both of these sugars and alcohol.

The sugar alcohols are naturally present in the vegetables and fruits but they are also artificially synthesised like xylitol, lactitol, mannitol and others.

They are considered the alternative from of sugar but they provide less energy as compared to carbohydrates like they provide about 0-3 kcal per gram whereas sugar provides 4 kcal per gram.

This difference is due to the reason that they are not completely absorbed by the human body and also they are incompletely metabolized therefore provide less energy.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.
