What is the surface area of the rectangular pyramid below?

Six years after a tree was planted, its height was 7 feet. Nine years after it was planted, its height was 16 feet. Which of the

Considering that the grows at a constant rate we can form an equation where x = how many years after it was planted
and y = its height

Now we just need to find how many feet it grows each year. To do that we just need to compare its height from a certain age to another:
6 years after it was planted : 7 feet,
so x=6 and y = 7

9 years after it was planted: 16 feet
so x= 9 y=16

With thay we can conclude that in 3 years , the tree grew 9 feet. To discover how much the tree grow each year we just nee to divide 9 feet by 3 years which is 3 feet every year.

To write the equatopn now we just need to find the y-intercept which we can discover by setting x to 0:
If in 6 years after the tree was planted it is 7 feet long , we can discover how long it was when it was planted by subtracting 6 years of growth (The slope ) which is 3
7 - 6(years)×3(feet the tree grow each year)
7 - 18 = -11
The tree was -11 feet long when it was planted
which is our y-intercept
( I know it doesnt make sense , but if you apply to a graph it will make more sense )

Now we can make the equation
y = 3x -11

A company sells tents in two styles, shown below. The sides and floor of each tent are made of nylon. Which tent requires less n

BartSMP [9]

Answer: Tunnel tent.

Step-by-step explanation:

The tent which has the minimum area requires less nylon to manufacture,

Since, the area of Pup tent = Area of 3 square each having side 8 ft + Area of 2 equilateral triangle having side 8 ft

= $3 \times ( 8^2 ) + 2\times \frac{64\sqrt{ 3} }{4}$
