Yes. I totally agree with that statement. 10/10
The net cannot be folded to form a pyramid because the faces that are not a base are not all triangles
If you fold this net up, you will get a triangular prism, NOT A PYRAMID.
A pyramid can have ANY polygon as its base, as long as all the other rest of the shapes are triangles.
Depending on the base, the number of triangles in a net of a pyramid must match the number of sides its particular base has.
For example, if you have a square pyramid turned into a net:
The base is a square (4 sides)
There should be 4 triangles on each side.
Because a pyramid is where all the triangles must meet up at a point.
Hope this helps!
Answer: c) 2x² - 2x + 4

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
11
Discussion:
Let "n" be the smaller number. Then
n * (n+5) = 176.
My first reaction to this problem was to factor 176 in my head. That's 176 = 16 * 11 and 16 is 5 more than 11. So that's the solution!.... Now let's solve it using the brute force approach:
n(n+5) = 176 =>
n^2 + 5n - 176 = 0 => use the quadratic formula
n = ( -5 +\- sqrt( 5^2 - 4(1)(-176)) ) /2
= ( -5 +\- sqrt( 25 + 704) )/ 2
= ( -5 +\- sqrt (729) ) /2 => as sqrt(729) = 27
= (-5 +\- 27) / 2 =>
= (-5 + 27)/2 or ( -5 -27)/2 =>
= 22/2 or -32/2 =>
= 11 or -16
But -16 is not allowed as the question wants a positive value.
Thank you,
MrB
