Question

The Pyramid of Khufu in Giza, Egypt was the world's tallest free-standing structure for more than 3,500 years. Its original height was about 144
meters. Its base is approximately a square with a side length of 231 meters.
The diagram shows a cross section created by dilating the base using the top of the pyramid as the center of dilation. The cross section is at a
height of 96 meters
144 m
=> A
96 m
231 m
231 m
Complete the following about the cross section
The scale factor used to create the cross section is 13
Part B
Complete the following about the cross section
The dimensions of the cross section is a Select Choice y meter by Select Choice y meter Select Choice

Answer 1

The scale factor used to create the cross section is 1/3. The cross section has a base side length of 77 meters.

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

The height of the dilated pyramid = 144 m - 96 m = 48 m

Scale factor of dilation = 48 m / 144 m = 1/3

The side length of dilated pyramid = (1/3) * 231 m = 77 m

The scale factor used to create the cross section is 1/3. The cross section has a base side length of 77 meters.
