Answer:

  384 cubic centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the base area and total area of a square pyramid and asked to find the volume. The typical volume formula for a pyramid requires that we know the height of it. We can use the formula for the surface area to find the slant height of a face, and we can use the slant height to find the height perpendicular to the base.

__

<h3>face area</h3>

  total surface area = base area + area of 4 faces

  area of 4 faces = total surface area - base area

  area of 4 faces = 384 cm² -144 cm² = 240 cm²

  area of 1 face = 240 cm²/4 = 60 cm²

__

<h3>slant height</h3>

The side length of the square base is ...

  A = a²

  a = √A = √(144 cm²) = 12 cm

and the slant height of one face is ...

  A = 1/2as

  s = (2A)/a = (2×60 cm²)/(12 cm) = 10 cm

__

<h3>pyramid height</h3>

The distance from the center of the base to the edge of the base is (12 cm)/2 = 6 cm. That is one leg of the right triangle whose hypotenuse is the slant height of the face. The other leg of the triangle is the height of the pyramid:

  H² = s² -(a/2)² . . . . Pythagorean theroem solved for one leg

  H = √(10² -6²) = 8 . . . . cm . . . . height of the pyramid

__

<h3>volume</h3>

Now we know the base area of the pyramid (B), and we know its height (H), so we can use the formula ...

  V = 1/3BH

  V = 1/3(144 cm²)(8 cm) = 384 cm³

The volume of the pyramid will be 384 cm³.

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 = .25

2/3 = .6666...

.25(.6666...) = 1.6665...

1/6 = 1.666666

1/6 is the close enough answer bc the others would def not be it

1/3 = .3333....

3/7 = .428571428571

11/12 = 9.16666...

Hope this helps dude ! ^-^

Answer:

2. Line RT = 11x - 17, Line PT= 5x + 13

11x - 17 = 5x + 13

11x - 17 = 5x + 13

-5x. -5x

6x - 17 = 13

+17. +17

6x= 30

÷6. ÷ 6

x = 5

(B). According to the rules of a parallelogram, if angle S is 50°, the angle on the same side will be supplementary to it. So, angle R equals 130° and angle Q is also 50°.
