If a miniature model of the pyramid is 3 inches wide. The volume of the model is 4.5.

<h3>Volume of the model</h3>

Pyramids square bases are twice as wide as they are tall

Model of pyramid=3 inches wide

First step is to find the model height

Let Model height=x

2 × height=weight

2x=3

x=3/2

x=1.5

Second step is to calculate the volume of model:

Volume of model=3×3×1.5×1/3

Volume of model=4.5

Therefore the volume of the model is 4.5.

Unit 7 polygons & quadrilaterals homework 3: rectangles Gina Wilson answer key

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

In the image attached you can find the Unit 7 homework.

We need to findt he missing measures of each figure.

<h3>1.</h3>

Notice that the first figure is a rectangle, which means opposite sides are congruent so,

VY = 19

WX = 19

YX = 31

VW = 31

To find the diagonals we need to use Pythagorean's Theorem, where the diagonals are hypothenuses.

$VX^{2}=19^{2}+31^{2}\\ VX=\sqrt{361+961}=\sqrt{1322} \\VX \approx 36.36$

Also, $YW \approx 36.36$ , beacuse rectangles have congruent diagonals, which intercect equally.

That means, $ZX = \frac{VX}{2} \approx \frac{36.36}{2}\approx 18.18$

<h3>2.</h3>

Figure number two is also a rectangle.

If GH = 14, that means diagonal GE = 28, because diagonals intersect in equal parts.

Now, GF = 11, because rectangles have opposite sides congruent.

DF = 28, because in a reactangle, diagonals are congruent.

HF = 14, because its half of a diagonal.

To find side DG, we need to use Pythagorean's Theorem, where GE is hypothenuse

$GE ^{2}=11^{2}+DG^{2}\\28^{2}-11^{2}=DG^{2}\\DG=\sqrt{784-121}=\sqrt{663}\\ DG \approx 25.75$

<h3>3.</h3>

This figure is also a rectangle, which means all four interior angles are right, that is, equal to 90°, which means angle 11 and the 59° angle are complementary, so

$\angle 11 +59\°=90\°\\\angle 11=90\°-59\°\\\angle 11=31\°$

Now, angles 11 and 4 are alternate interior angles which are congruent, because a rectangle has opposite congruent and parallel sides.

$\angle 4 = 31\°$

Which means $\angle 3 = 59\°$ , beacuse it's the complement for angle 4.

Now, $\angle 6 = 59\°$ , because it's a base angle of a isosceles triangle. Remember that in a rectangle, diagonals are congruent, and they intersect equally, which creates isosceles triangles.

$\angle 9=180-59-59=62$ , by interior angles theorem.

$\angle 8 =62$ , by vertical angles theorem.

$\angle 10 = 180- \angle 9=180-62=118\°$ , by supplementary angles.

$\angle 7 = 118\°$ , by vertical angles theorem.

$\angle 5=90-59=31$ , by complementary angles.

$\angle 2 = \angle 5 = 31\°$ , by alternate interior angles.

$\angle 1 = 59\°$ , by complementary angles.

<h3>4.</h3>

$m\angle BCD=90\°$ , because it's one of the four interior angles of a rectangle, which by deifnition are equal to 90°.

$m\angle ABD = 6\° = m\angle BDC$ , by alternate interior angles and by given. $m\angle CBE=90-6=84$ , by complementary angles.

$m\angle ADE=90-6=84$ , by complementary angles.

$m\angle AEB=180-6-6=168\°$ , by interior angles theorem.

$m\angle DEA=180-168=12$ , by supplementary angles.

<h3>5.</h3>

$m\angle JMK=180-126=54$ , by supplementary angles.

$m\angle JKH=\frac{180-54}{2}=\frac{126}{2}=63$ , by interior angles theorem, and by isosceles triangle theorem.

$m\angle HLK=90\°$ , by definition of rectangle.

$m\angle HJL=\frac{180-126}{2}=27$ , by interior angles theorem, and by isosceles triangle theorem.

$m\angle LHK=90-27=63$ , by complementary angles.

$m\angle = JLK= m\angle HJL=27$ , by alternate interior angles.

<h3>6.</h3>

The figure is a rectangle, which means its opposite sides are equal, so

$WZ=XY\\7x-6=3x+14\\7x-3x=14+6\\4x=20\\x=\frac{20}{4}\\ x=5$

Then, we replace this value in the expression of side WZ

$WZ=7x-6=7(5)-6=35-6=29$

Therefore, side WZ is 29 units long.

<h3>7.</h3>

We know that the diagonals of a rectangle are congruent, so

$SQ=PR\\11x-26=5x+28\\11x-5x=28+26\\6x=54\\x=\frac{54}{6}\\ x=9$

Then,

$PR=5x+28=5(9)+28=45+28=73$

Therefore, side PR is 73 units long.

Jason has $2.25 worth of dimes and quarters he has twice as many dimes as quarters determine the number of dimes and the number

iris [78.8K]

Answer: jason has 10 dimes and 5 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The worth of a dime is 10 cents. Converting to dollars, it becomes

10/100 = $0.1

The worth of a quarter is 25 cents. Converting to dollars, it becomes

25/100 = $0.25

Let x represent the number of dimes that he has.

Let y represent the number of quarters that he has.

He has twice as many dimes as quarters. This means that

x = 2y

Jason has $2.25 worth of dimes and quarters. This means that

0.1x + 0.25y = 2.25 - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 2y into equation 1, it becomes

0.1 × 2y + 0.25y = 2.25

0.2y + 0.25y = 2.25

0.45y = 2.25

y = 2.25/0.45

y = 5

x = 2y = 2 × 5

x = 10
