To find the surface area of the pyramid, in square inches, Vikram wrote (33.2) (34.2) + 4 (one-half (34.2) (28.4)). What error d

id Vikram make? He used the same expression for the area of all four lateral faces. He used the wrong expression to represent the area of the base of the pyramid. He used the wrong value as the height when he found the area of the lateral faces. He used an expression for surface area that only finds the total area of three faces.

Answer:

B. He used the wrong expression to represent the area of the base of the pyramid.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for pyramid

Area = (33.2)(34.2) + 4 * \frac{1}{2} * 34.4 * 28.4

Required

Vikram's error

The surface area of a square pyramid is:

Area = Base\ Area + 4 * Area \triangle

Where

Base\ Area = Length * Length

Base\ Area = 34.2 * 34.2

4 * Area \triangle = 4 * \frac{1}{2} * Base * Height

4 * Area \triangle = 4 * \frac{1}{2} * 34.2 * 28.4

So:

Area = Base\ Area + 4 * Area \triangle

Area = 34.2 * 34.2 + 4 * \frac{1}{2} * 34.2 * 28.4

By comparing the calculated expression with

Area = (33.2)(34.2) + 4 * \frac{1}{2} * 34.4 * 28.4

Option (b) is correct

PLEASE HELP! I have a deadline tonight ,I have to get this done! thank you!!<br> Two questions (:
Viktor [21]
Both of your answers are correct. In the first equation, if you were to substitute 3 for x, because you have to do exponents first, you have 3^2, which is 9, and 9*6 =54. If you were to substitute -3 for x again you would have to do the exponents first which would be -3^2 which is 9, and 9*6 = 54. 

For the second question, if I substitute 0.75 for t, I get -9 + 18 + 7. This is equal to 16, and therefore the answer would be D. Hope this helps! :D. Let me know if you have questions about my explanation, and feel free to post more questions.

205 students enrolled in a freshman-level chemistry class. By the end of the semester, 4 times the number of students passed as
AlexFokin [52]

Answer: 164 students passed and 41 students failed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of students be x

x students failed, but 4 times the failed students passed.

So 4x students passed and x students failed.

4x + x = 205

5x = 205

x = 205/5

x = 41

41 times 4 is 164 and 41 times 1 is 41.

So 164 students passed and 41 students failed
