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.

The half-life of a certain radioactive material is 36 days. An initial amount of the material has a mass of 487kg. Write an expo
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

442.302 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

amount = 487 (1/2)^(t/36) where t is the number of days.

if t = 5

amount = 487(.5)^(5/36)

= 442.302 kg

What is the value of x in the equation 150/84 = 25/x
Fofino [41]

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{150}{84}  =  \frac{25}{x}  \\  \\ 150 \times x = 84 \times 25 \\  \\ x =  \frac{84 \times 25}{150}  \\  \\ x =  \frac{84}{6}  \\  \\ x = 14 \\
