<span>The <u>correct answer</u> is:

576 sq. cm.

Explanation:

The surface area of a figure is the sum of the areas of the faces of the figure.

The slant height goes from the apex of the pyramid along a face and is perpendicular to the base at the bottom of that face. This gives us 2 measurements of each triangular face of the pyramid: the height (the slant height of the pyramid is the height of the triangular face), 18 cm, and the base <span>of the triangular face, 12 cm.

The formula for the area of a triangle is A = 1/2bh; using our measurements we have:
A = 1/2(12)(18) = 108 sq. cm.

There are 4 triangular faces on a square pyramid, and each will have an area of 108 sq. cm.; this gives us:
4(108) = 432 sq. cm.

The area of the base is given by length times width, or 12*12 = 144 sq. cm.

This gives us a total surface area of 432+144=576 sq. cm.</span></span>

Answer:

The total surface area of the pyramid = 576 cm²        

Step-by-step explanation:

The base of the pyramid is square with the side length of 12 cm

So, Area of the base of pyramid = (side)²

                                                      = 12 × 12

                                                     = 144 cm²

Now, to find the area of the triangle : length = 12 cm and height = 18 cm

Area of the triangle = 0.5 × length × height

                                 = 0.5 × 12 × 18

                                 = 108 cm²

So, Area of 4 triangles in the pyramid = 4 × 108

                                                               = 432 cm²

Hence, The total surface area of the pyramid = 144 + 432

                                                                               = 576 cm²

Lou has an account with $10,000 which pays 6% interest compounded annually. If to that account, Lou deposits $5,000 at the begin
katovenus [111]

Answer:

Option d. $22154 is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question we will use the formula A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}

In this formula A = amount after time t

                        P = principal amount

                        r = rate of interest

                       n = number of times interest gets compounded in a year

                        t = time

Now Lou has principal amount on the starting of first year = 10000+5000 = $15000

So for one year A=15000(1+\frac{\frac{6}{100}}{1})^{1\times1}

= 15000(1+.06)^{1}

= 15000(1.06) = $15900

After one year Lou added $5000 in this amount and we have to calculate the final amount he got

Now principal amount becomes $15900 + $ 5000 = $20900

Then putting the values again in the formula

A=20900(1+\frac{\frac{6}{100}}{1})^{1\times1}

= 20900(1+.06)^{1}

= 20900(1.06)=22154

So the final amount will be $22154.
