'Cube'ism As an artist, Ernest is doing a solo show titled CUBES. One of his pieces is
shown below. Each layer of the piece is a cube. The bottom cube has a side
length of 3 m, the middle cube has a side length of 2 m, and the top cube has a
side length of 1 m. The top two layers are each centred on the layer below.
Ernest wishes to paint the piece. Since the piece will be suspended in the air, the
bottom will also be painted. Determine the total surface area of the piece,
including the bottom.

Scientist: cross-sections of stalactites—calcite formations deposited on cave ceilings by seeping water—can reveal annual variations in rainfall in particular areas over hundreds and thousands of years. we often found that when—according to these cross-sections—drought occurred in a particular area, it coincided with the collapse of an ancient society in that area. i hypothesize that drought reduced agricultural productivity in these areas, thereby leaving these societies without the resources needed to handle internal stresses and external threats. which of the following, if true, would most weaken the support for the scientist's hypothesis? a. many droughts indicated in the cross-sections of stalactites do not correspond with the collapse of a society in that area. b. information from the cross-sections of stalactites alone cannot reveal the level of agricultural output in an area at a particular time. c. most of the societies that collapsed during droughts did so when internal power struggles coincided with military raids from neighboring societies. d. most of the societies that collapsed during droughts maintained large stockpiles of food and water at the time of their collapse. e. information from stalactites also suggests that the collapse of some societies coincided with periods of abnormally high rainfall.
