A square pyramid has a base length of 4 inches. The height of each triangular face is 12 inches. What is the surface area of the pyramid?

The surface area of the given pyramid is 112 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Base length of the pyramid = 4 inches

Area of the base =

                            =

                            = 16

Area of its base = 16

Area of one of its triangular surface = x base x height

                                 = x 4 x 12

                                 = 2 x 12

                                 = 24

Area of all its four triangular surfaces = 4 x 24

                                                       = 96

surface area of the pyramid = sum of areas of all its surfaces

                                               = 16 + 96

                                       = 112

The surface area of the given pyramid is 112 .

there has been genes found in the x chromosome of males that have been linked to [homo/hetero]sexuality. in addition to the reign of the x chromosome, a section of chromosome 8 has also been link to, "alot of ppl are so " these facts were proven true after a 2014 study of a gay male and his strait brother. according to newscientist.com,"chromosome 14 and is mainly active in the thyroid, but also the brain. called tshr, it makes a type of receptor protein that recognises and binds to a hormone that stimulates the thyroid. in this way, the gene plays an important role in controlling thyroid function. the fact that tshr seems to be involved in sexual orientation fits with evidence that thyroid function seems to be linked to sexuality."

in conclusion, "ppl are so gay" due to their genetics.
