Step-by-step explanation:

there are 12 months in a year, and therefore 2×12 = 24 "half-months" and therefore semimonthly payments.

that means each paycheck is

72,000 / 24 = $3,000

there are 52 weeks per year.

that means they're are 52/2 = 26 biweekly periods and therefore payments.

each paycheck is therefore

72,000 / 26 = $2,769.23

so, Alice receives 2 more paychecks (26 to 24) in a year.

the difference between the 2 types of payment is

3000 - 2769.23 = $230.77

Use a net to find the surface Area of the square pyramid The height of the pyramid is 9 yes and the base sides are all 2.5 yrds

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

$Area = 51.68yd^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$h = 9yd$ -- height

$a = 2.5yd$ --- base sides

Required

Determine the surface area

The net is not given. So, I will solve directly.

The surface area is calculated as:

$Area = a^2 + 2a\sqrt{\frac{a^2}{4} + h^2}$

So, we have:

$Area = 2.5^2 + 2*2.5\sqrt{\frac{2.5^2}{4} + 9^2}$

$Area = 6.25 + 5\sqrt{\frac{6.25}{4} + 81}$

$Area = 6.25 + 5\sqrt{1.5625 + 81}$

$Area = 6.25 + 5\sqrt{82.5625}$

$Area = 6.25 + 5* 9.086$

$Area = 51.68yd^2$
