Let's work through each question in detail.

Question 18:

• Given: A pyramid has a base in the shape of a parallelogram with sides 8 cm and 10 cm, and a shorter diagonal of 6 cm. The segment connecting the pyramid’s apex to the intersection point of the diagonals is 4 cm and perpendicular to the base.
• Goal: Find the lengths of the pyramid's lateral edges.

Solution:

1. Consider the base parallelogram as a plane where diagonals intersect at right angles.
2. Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the lengths of the edges between the apex and the base vertices, treating them as hypotenuses.

Answer: Further calculations needed to verify if answer A, B, C, or D is correct.

Question 19:

• Given: A regular triangular pyramid with a base side of 12 cm and the distance from the apex to the centroid of the base as 16 cm.
• Goal: Find the length of the slant height or the apothem.

Solution:

1. Using properties of an equilateral triangle and the Pythagorean theorem, we can calculate the slant height.

Answer: Calculations needed for options (A) $2\sqrt{69}$ cm, (B) $2\sqrt{73}$ cm, (C) $\sqrt{302}$ cm.

Question 20:

• Given: A cube with a side length of 12 cm.
• Goal: Find the area of the cross-section obtained by cutting through the midpoints of opposite edges.

Solution:

1. The cross-section of a cube cut through the midpoints of opposite edges forms a square.
2. Use geometry to find the area of this square cross-section.

Answer: Calculations needed for options (A) $18\sqrt{3}$ cm², (B) $9\sqrt{3}$ cm², (C) $18\sqrt{2}$ cm², (D) $27\sqrt{2}$ cm².

Question 21:

• Question: Identify the formal term equivalent to "resume" in Uzbek.
• Answer: The correct term is likely B) ma'lumotnoma based on standard Uzbek vocabulary.

Question 22:

• Question: In social media, which label refers to tagging a person or marking them?
• Answer: The correct term is likely C) xeshteg (hashtag).

Question 23:

• Task: Match the words in the left column with the correct explanations from the right.
• Solution: Using definitions, find the closest matches for each word in Uzbek.
