The volume of the pyramid would be 80 cubic centimeters. The reason for this is because the formula for volume of a pyramid is 1/3bh, so if all the dimensions are the same for both figures, just divide the volume of the prism by three to find the volume of the pyramid. If you do this 240÷3=80 or the volume of the pyramid.
You have the correct answer. Nice work. If you need to see the steps, then see below
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First we need to find the midpoint of H and I
The x coordinates of the two points are -4 and 2. They add to -4+2 = -2 and then cut that in half to get -1
Do the same for the y coordinates: 2+4 = 6 which cuts in half to get 3
So the midpoint of H and I is (-1,3). The perpendicular bisector will go through this midpoint
---------------------
Now we must find the slope of segment HI
H = (-4,2) = (x1,y1)
I = (2,4) = (x2,y2)
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (4 - 2)/(2 - (-4))
m = (4 - 2)/(2 + 4)
m = 2/6
m = 1/3
Flip the fraction to get 1/3 ---> 3/1 = 3
Then flip the sign: +3 ----> -3
So the slope of the perpendicular bisector is -3
-----------------------
Use m = -3 which is the slope we found
and (x,y) = (-1,3), which is the midpoint found earlier
to get the following
y = mx+b
3 = -3*(-1)+b
3 = 3+b
3-3 = 3+b-3
0 = b
b = 0
So if m = -3 and b = 0, then y = mx+b turns into y = -3x+0 and it simplifies to y = -3x
So that confirms you have the right answer. I've also used GeoGebra to help confirm the answer (see attached)
Answer: 26.3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The first option will take a total of 3.2 hours while the second option will take just 3 hours
This shows that the second option is faster
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to compare two hiking options and see the one which is faster.
At any point in time;
Distance = speed * time
In the first option, he could hike at 3 mph for two hours.
Total distance covered would be 3 * 2 = 6 miles
Distance left = 12 miles - 6 miles = 6 miles
Time taken to hike 6 miles at 5 mph will be ; 6/5 = 1.2 hours
Total time for the first type hiking = 1.2 hours + 2 hours = 3.2 hours
For the second option;
Time = distance/speed = 12 miles/4 mph = 3 hours
We can see that the second option is faster
