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.

This may be wrong but this is how id do it.

110.25 + 55.45 = 165.7

165.7 x 4.5 = 745.65 g of brown sugar

Solve the equation. Find x.<br> 20x + 5 - 0 = 5x + 32.5*2
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

20x+5−0=5x+(32.5)(2)

20x+5+0=5x+65

(20x)+(5+0)=5x+65(Combine Like Terms)

20x+5=5x+65

20x+5=5x+65

Step 2: Subtract 5x from both sides.

20x+5−5x=5x+65−5x

15x+5=65

Step 3: Subtract 5 from both sides.

15x+5−5=65−5

15x=60

Step 4: Divide both sides by 15.

15x

15

=

60

15

x=4

Hope this helps!
