Graham joined two congruent square pyramids to form the composite solid. 2 square pyramids are connected at their base. [Not drawn to scale] If the lateral faces of the pyramids each have an area of 18.4 cm2, what is the total surface area of the composite solid? 73.6 cm2 110.4 cm2 147.2 cm2 158.2 cm2

Question:

Graham joined two congruent square pyramids to form the composite solid. 2 square pyramids are connected at their base. [Not drawn to scale] If the lateral faces of the pyramids each have an area of 18.4 cm², what is the total surface area of the composite solid?

a) 73.6 cm²

b) 110.4 cm²

c) 147.2 cm²

d) 158.2 cm²

c) 147.2 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the question that two congruent square pyramids are connected at their base to form a composite solid.

It is important to note that a square pyramid has 4 lateral faces and one base. When two congruent square pyramids are connected at their base to form a composite solid, the total number of lateral faces of the composite solid = 8 lateral faces.

To calculate the total surface area of the composite solid = Sum of the area of Lateral faces of the pyramid.

In the question we are given the area of each of the faces of the lateral pyramid as 18.4cm². Since we have 8 lateral faces for the composite solid,

The total surface area of the composite solid = (18.4 cm² × 8)

= 147.2 cm²

Or 18.4 cm² + 18.4 cm² + 18.4 cm² + 18.4 cm² + 18.4 cm² + 18.4 cm² + 18.4 cm² + 18.4 cm²

= 147.2 cm²

the most boring ever written

step-by-step explanation:

i am writing something. yes, i plan to make it the most boring thing ever written. i go to the store. a car is parked. many cars are parked or moving. some are blue. some are tan. they have windows. in the store, there are items for sale. these include such things as soap, detergent, magazines, and lettuce. you can enhance your life with these products. soap can be used for bathing, be it in a bathtub or in a shower. apply the soap to your body and rinse. detergent is used to wash clothes. place your dirty clothes into a washing machine and add some detergent as directed on the box. select the appropriate settings on your washing machine and you should be ready to begin. magazines are stapled reading material made with glossy paper, and they cover a wide variety of topics, ranging from news and politics to business and stock market information. some magazines are concerned with more recreational topics, like sports card collecting or different kinds of hairstyles. lettuce is a vegetable.
