The given pyramid's total surface area is 3. 24.0 square feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
To calculate the surface area of the given figure, we need to find the surface areas of the different shapes in the figure.
There are 3 triangles and 1 square in the figure.
Step 2:
All the triangles are similar.
The surface area of a triangle = 
The similar triangles have a base length of 3 feet and a height of 2.5 feet.
The surface area of 1 similar triangle =
square feet.
The surface area for all the similar triangles =
square feet.
Step 3:
The surface area of a square is the square of its side length. The square has a side length of 3 feet.
The surface area of the square =
square feet.
Step 4:
To calculate the total surface area we sum up all the individual surface area.
The total surface area =
square feet which is the third option.
Let's assume that Kirby walks with a speed

for a time

, and that he runs with a speed

for a time

.
The total time available for Kirby to catch the train is:

and this must be equal to the sum of the two times t1 and t2:
The distance Kirby should cover is

and this should be equal to the sum of the distances covered by walking and by running:

So we have a system of 2 equations:


If we solve the system, we find:


So, Kirby needs to run at least for 8 minutes in order to catch the train.
The statement is False.
For this, it is enough to show a case in which the subtraction of two positive numbers is negative.
For this, we must choose two numbers.
Suppose we want to subtract the following numbers:
Number 1: 5
Number 2: 10
Subtracting both numbers we have:

We observe that the result is negative. Therefore, the given conclusion is false.
