A building has the shape of a pyramid with a square base. The midsegment parallel to the ground of each triangular face of the pyramid has a length of 58 feet. The perimeter of the base of the pyramid is
feet.

The length of the base the pyramid is 116 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

See the diagram attached to this answer.

Let Δ OAB is the side triangle of the square pyramid, and A'B' is the mid segment parallel to the ground with length of 58 feet.

Now, Δ OAB and Δ OA'B' are similar triangle and the length of sides of the triangle Δ OA'B' are in the same ratio with the corresponding sides of Δ OAB.

Hence,

⇒ AB = 2 × 58 = 116 feet.

The length of the base the pyramid is 116 feet. (Answer)  

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
