Listen to this story: a boy and his father, a computer programmer, are playing with wooden blocks. They are building a pyramid.Their pyramid is a bit weird, as it is actually a pyramid-shaped wall – it's flat. The pyramid is stacked according to one simple principle: each lower layer contains one block more than the layer above.The figure illustrates the rule used by the builders:Your task is to write a program which reads the number of blocks the builders have, and outputs the height of the pyramid that can be built using these blocks.Note: the height is measured by the number of fully completed layers – if the builders don't have a sufficient number of blocks and cannot complete the next layer, they finish their work immediately.

A square pyramid has a base with an area of 20 square meters, and its lateral faces have a slant height of x meters. Sydney is constructing a second square pyramid with the same size base, but the lateral faces of her pyramid have a slant height twice as long, 2x. Which statement best describes how the surface area of Sydney’s pyramid compares to the surface area of the original pyramid? Sydney’s pyramid will have the same surface area because the One-half in the expression for the area of the triangular faces will make up for the slant height being doubled. Sydney’s pyramid will have the same surface area because the slant height is not used when finding surface area. Sydney’s pyramid will have a surface area that is exactly double the original pyramid’s because the slant height is used when finding the area of every lateral face. Sydney’s pyramid will have a surface area that is greater than the original pyramid’s but not double the area because the slant height is not used when finding the area of the base.
