Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, you input the value of y (y = 6) into the equation ( 2.5(y-x)= 0)

2.5(6-x) = 0

Open the bracket,

(2.5×6)-2.5x= 0

Collect like terms.

2.5x= 2.5×6

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x (2.5)

x = 6

So,

x= 6 is true.

Substituting 6 for x in the equation,

2.5(6-6)= 0

2.5•0 = 0

0= 0

Which is also true.

Pyramid A has a triangular base where each side measures 4 units and a volume of 36 cubic units. Pyramid B has the same height,

omeli [17]

Answer:

The volume of pyramid B is 81 cubic units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Pyramid A

$s = 4$ -- base sides

$V = 36$ -- Volume

Pyramid B

$s = 6$ --- base sides

Required

Determine the volume of pyramid B [Missing from the question]

From the question, we understand that both pyramids are equilateral triangular pyramids.

The volume is calculated as:

$V = \frac{1}{3} * B * h$

Where B represents the area of the base equilateral triangle, and it is calculated as:

$B = \frac{1}{2} * s^2 * sin(60)$

Where s represents the side lengths

First, we calculate the height of pyramid A

For Pyramid A, the base area is:

$B = \frac{1}{2} * s^2 * sin(60)$

$B = \frac{1}{2} * 4^2 * \frac{\sqrt 3}{2}$

$B = \frac{1}{2} * 16 * \frac{\sqrt 3}{2}$

$B = 4\sqrt 3$

The height is calculated from:

$V = \frac{1}{3} * B * h$

This gives:

$36 = \frac{1}{3} * 4\sqrt 3 * h$

Make h the subject

$h = \frac{3 * 36}{4\sqrt 3}$

$h = \frac{3 * 9}{\sqrt 3}$

$h = \frac{27}{\sqrt 3}$

To calculate the volume of pyramid B, we make use of:

$V = \frac{1}{3} * B * h$

Since the heights of both pyramids are the same, we can make use of:

$h = \frac{27}{\sqrt 3}$

The base area B, is then calculated as:

$B = \frac{1}{2} * s^2 * sin(60)$

Where

$s = 6$

So:

$B = \frac{1}{2} * 6^2 * sin(60)$

$B = \frac{1}{2} * 36 * \frac{\sqrt 3}{2}$

$B = 9\sqrt 3$

So:

$V = \frac{1}{3} * B * h$

Where

$B = 9\sqrt 3$ and $h = \frac{27}{\sqrt 3}$

$V = \frac{1}{3} * 9\sqrt 3 * \frac{27}{\sqrt 3}$

$V = \frac{1}{3} * 9 * 27$

$V = 81$

Which inequality matches the given situation if w represents weight in pounds:Baby tigers can be no larger than 4 pounds.

ozzi

Given:

w be the weight in pounds of a baby tigers.

To find:

The inequality if baby tigers can be no larger than 4 pounds.

Solution:

Baby tigers can be no larger than 4 pounds. It mean weight of baby tigers cannot be greater than 4. In other words, the weight of the baby tigers must be less than or equal to 4.

Let w represents weight in pounds and the weight of the baby tigers must be less than or equal to 4. So,

$w\leq 4$

Therefore, the required inequality is $w\leq 4$ .

Solve for x Please.

Sonja [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is right use the tangent ratio to find x

tan64° = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$ = $\frac{x}{11}$

Multiply both sides by 11

x = 11 × tan64° = 22.55 → B
