Subtract 32 to both sides to the equation becomes -5x^2 + 7x + 9 = 0.

To solve this equation, we can use the quadratic formula. The quadratic formula solves equations of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0
                   x = [ -b ± √(b^2 - 4ac) ] / (2a)
                   x = [ -7 ± √(7^2 - 4(-5)(9)) ] / ( 2(-5) )
                   x = [ -7 ± √(49 - (-180) ) ] / ( -10 )
                   x = [ -7 ± √(229) ] / ( -10)
                   x = [ -7 ± sqrt(229) ] / ( -10 )
                   x = 7/10 ± -sqrt(229)/10
The answers are 7/10 + sqrt(229)/10 and 7/10 - sqrt(229)/10.

PLEASE HELP 100 POINTS
Karolina [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

the total surface area is the sum of the individual areas.

we have the ground area : a 6×6 square. = 36 cm²

and we have 4 equal triangles.

the area of a triangle is baseline × height / 2.

which is for each of these triangles

6 × 12 / 2 = 3 × 12 = 36 cm²

so, the total surface area of the pyramid is

36 + 4×36 = 5×36 = 180 cm²
