Answer:
3.7
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that a squared pyramid has a square base & 4 equal triangles.
To find the lateral the lateral area you calculate the area of the 4 equal triangles and to find the surface area (total Area) you add the area of the base:
Area of each triangle = side (5) x slant (9) and you divide by 2
==>Aera of 1 triangle = (9x5)/2 = 45/2 & for the 4 triangles
Lateral area = (45/2) x 4 = 90 in²
Now the base area (square) = 5 x 5= 25 in²
so the surface area = 90+25 = 115 in² (answer a)
three squared minus two thirds

three square = 3 x 3 = 9

Least common factor of 1 and 3 is 3

Three squared minus two third is twenty five by three.
21.325 is the correct answer
Distribute 2/5 and 3/5 into the ():
2/5(a+b)+3/5(a+c)
2/5 a+ 2/5 b+3/5 a+ 3/5 c
combine the like terms:
2/5 a+3/5 a= 5/5 a --> 1a --> a
new simplified equation:
a+2/5 b+3/5 c
