The surface areas of the bases of a given truncated triangular pyramid are equal to $ B_1 $ and $ B_2 $. This pyramid can be cut with a plane parallel to the bases so that a sphere can be inscribed in each of the obtained parts. Prove that the lateral surface area of the given pyramid is $ (\sqrt{B_1} + \sqrt{B_2})(\sqrt[4]{B_1} + \sqrt[4]{B_2})^2 $.

Fix a positive integer $a > 1$. Consider triples $(f(x), g(x), h(x))$ of polynomials with integer coefficients, such that 1. $f$ is a monic polynomial with $\deg f \ge 1$. 2. There exists a positive integer $N$ such that $g(x)>0$ for $x \ge N$ and for all positive integers $n \ge N$, we have $f(n) \mid a^{g(n)} + h(n)$. Find all such possible triples.
