Slobs, can you answer my question when you're done?
This is a case of exponential growth. The appropriate equation, with the given data inserted, is P(t) = 500 ( 1+0.15)^50
or = 500 (1.15)^50
Evaluate this on your calculator.
The surface area of the pyramid is 576.
<em>The square base is 144. It's just a square, so you multiply 12 (length) and 12 ( width) , which equals 144. </em>
<em>Then you find the area of one of the triangles. The equation to find triangles goes like this: 0.5 x B (base: 12) x H (height: 18). That would be 6 x 18 which is 108.</em>
<em>Since you got the area of 1 triangle and there are 4 triangles you have to multiply 108 by 4. That'll give you 432.</em>
<em>SO since you have the area of all the triangles and the square base the last thing you have to do is just add it all up. </em>
<em>The area of the triangles plus the area of the square base = the surface area.</em>
<u>432 cm + 144 cm =576 cm.</u>
Could you possibly order them better it’s kinda hard to understand what you mean when there placed out like that
