if you solve the equation he/she gave you then you get 167.70562748. so your answer will be 167.7 cm^2
Check the picture below.
the lateral area, namely the area of the sides, in this case will be the area of all the triangular faces of the OCTAgonal pyramid, OCTA=8, so there are 8 of them.
now, each triangular face, has a base of 5 and a height of 6√2, so we simply get the area of each triangle and sum them up,

We have been given that fuel efficiency for a 2007 passenger car was 31.2 mi/gal and the same model of car, the fuel efficiency increased to 35.6 mi/gal in 2012. Also, the gas tank for this car holds 16 gallons of gas.
We need to write a function and graph a linear function that models the distance that each car can travel for a given amount of gas up to one tankful.
Let represent the functions as and
where
and
represent the distances traveled by car in years 2007 and 2012 and x represents the number of gallons. Therefore, we can express the required functions as:
Domain of both these functions are [0,16] and ranges are [0,499.2] and [0,569.6] respectively for years 2007 and 2012.
The difference function will be:
Domain of this function is [0,16] and range is [0,67.2].
The graphs are shown below.
