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.

Price-club sells a 12-ounce box of crackers for $2.59 and Shop Mart sells 1-1/2 pound box of crackers for $4.68. What is the uni
katen-ka-za [31]

Unit price would be the price per ounce.

Divide the total cost by the number of ounces:

Price Club : 2.59 / 12 = $0.216 per ounce

Shop Mart: 1-1/2 pounds = 1.5 x 16 = 24 ounces.

4.68 / 24 = $0.195 per ounce.

Today, everything at a store is on sale. The store offers a 20% discount.
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

a) $19.2

b) 0.8x

c) $17.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We want to find the discount price given the regular price

The discount is 20%

so the discount price will be;

24 - 20% of 24

24 - 4.8 = $19.2

b) We have this as;

x - (20% of x)

x - 0.2x = 0.8x

c) let the original price be x

x - 20% of x = 14

x - 0.2x = 14

0.8x = 14

x = 14/0.8

x = $17.5

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

"30 years or less when, in reality, the average age is more than 30 years"

Step-by-step explanation:

Type I error is produced when conclusion rejects a true null hypothesis.

The null hypothesis is

"The average gamer is more than 30 years old"

(deduced from the wording, not explicitly stated).

Then if the conclusion is "the average gamer is less than or equal to 30 years old" when in reality the average age is more than 30 years, then there is a type I error, since the null hypothesis is rejected.

Answer is D:

"30 years or less when, in reality, the average age is more than 30 years"
