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
</span><span>

Neurons in the hypothalamus regulate the activity of secretory cells in the anterior pituitary gland by:________
Jet001 [13]

Neurons in the hypothalamus regulate the activity of secretory cells in the anterior pituitary gland by releasing hormones. Pituitary gland basically store the hormones which is produce by the hypothalamus.

Hypothalamus connect the nervous and endocrine systems by way of the pituitary gland. Both are connected directly to the pituitary gland by a thin stalk which is called infundibulum.

Its main function is to secrete releasing hormones and inhibiting hormones that stimulate  the production of hormones in the anterior pituitary. FSH and LH both are produce and secret gonadotropins which regulated by the hypothalami releasing hormone, GnRH.  These are the releasing hormones which control the release of another hormone.
