A 16-foot monument is composed of a rectangular prism and a square pyramid, as shown. 6 feet
10 feet
6 feet
6 feel
If the exposed surfaces of the monument are to be covered with one-inch square
tiles, approximately how many tiles will be needed?
A. 44,928
B. 46,152
C.51,336
D. 62,208

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
