Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the smaller number. Then the larger number is 8x, and the difference is ...
8x -x = 280
7x = 280 . . . . . simplify
x = 40 . . . . . . divide by 7
The larger number is 8x = 8(40) = 320.

Effectively, we have solved for the multiplier (40) that gives the ratio with 320 on top and a difference between top and bottom of 280:
Answer:
384 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Since it is a square pyramid, the total surface area of the pyramid is the area of its square base plus the area of its 4 triangular faces.
Area of a triangular face
= ½ ×12 ×10
= 60 cm²
Base area of pyramid
= 12 ×12
= 144 cm²
∴ Surface area of pyramid
= 4(60) +144
= 240 +144
= 384 cm²
