Please help me A triangular pyramid and its net are shown. Rain uses the calculations below to conclude that the surface area of the triangular pyramid is 238.5 square inches. 3 x 10 x 13) + ( x 10 x 8.7) 3 (65) + 43.5 238.5 Is Rain correct? Use the drop-down menus to explain your reasoning.

Yes, Rain is correct

238.5 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface Area of a Triangular Pyramid,A = 1/2(a × b) + 3(1/2 × b × s)

= (1/2 × 10 × 8.7) + 3(1/2 × 10 × 13)

= 43.5 + 3(65)

= 43.5 + 195

= 238.5 square inches

The surface area of the triangular pyramid = 238.5 square inches

a.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1 distribute 2 to every term in the parentheses

step 2 add 10 on both sides of the equal sign

answer: - (a)

(b) 88 seats

step-by-step explanation:

given: in an auditorium, there are 22 seats in the first row and 28 seats in the second row.

thus first term=

second term=

the number of seats in a row continues to increase by 6 with each additional row.

⇒d= 6

a) given formula :

b)   let the number of seats (n) = 12

substitute n=12 in the explicit rule formed in (a)

∴there are 88 seats in 12 rows.
