Answer:
15 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since 57x17=969 I did 969-942 and got 27 so there is 16 full rows and then 27 left over so that means it won’t be a full row but 27 extra seats will be filled. (If your wondering where the 17 came from that’s how many rows can be made that’s over 942 because if I did 57x16 it would equal 912 and I would not have had a full row of chairs)
To find the lateral surface area of a pyramid, you can find the area of each triangle, A = 1/2bh or A = 1/2lw, then multiply by the number of triangles, which would be based on the number of sides of the base; or you can take half the perimeter and multiply by the slant height.
