<h3>Answer: Choice C</h3>

The surface area of the pyramid is multiplied by 100.

======================================================

Explanation:

Consider a square that is 3 by 3. Its area is 3*3 = 9.

Then we'll multiply each dimension by 10 to get a 30 by 30 square. The new larger area is 30*30 = 900. The jump from the old area (9) to the new area (900) is "times 100". We can write 100 as 10^2, where the base of that exponential is the scale factor 10.

This idea can apply to any surface area and not just squares. This is why the surface area of the enlarged pyramid is 100 times that of the original pyramid.

new surface area = 100*(old surface area)

Simplifying your answer
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

  -49

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to fill in the given expression, we need to know ...

  • f(-2) = -4
  • f(-3) = 5
  • f(-4) = 7
  • g(0) = -7
  • g(-3) = 3

Then the expression is ...

  √(5 -(-4)) -(-7)² +7÷(-7)·(3) = √9 -49 +7/(-7)(3)

  = 3 -49 +(-1)(3) = 3 -49 -3

  = -46 -3 = -49

Reduce the fraction 18/27 into its lowest terms

since both 18 and 27 are divisible by 9, divide both terms by 9

  18/9 = 2

  27/9 = 3

18/27 reduced to lowest terms is 2/3
