Answer:

m=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the lines are parallel to each other, their gradients are equal.

∴ gradient of green line = gradient of red line

∴ m = -3

Solution: slope=-3

Detailed explanation:

This little problem asks us to find the slope of the line. Let's do this!

$\searrow$

This is what parallel lines look like:

<------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->

The two lines above will never intercept each other.

And that's what parallel lines are - they are lines that never intercept.

They can be vertical, horizontal, or diagonal, it doesn't matter. As long as both of them have the same slope and never intercept each other.

So, since parallel lines have identical slopes, the slope of the red line = slope of the green line (the problem provides us that both lines are parallel)

Slope of the red line = -3

Voila! There's our answer!

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

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

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

$V = 81$

5x-2y=30 complete the missing value in the solution to the question (8, )

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

(8,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-2y=30

lets substitute "8" as x and see where that takes us

5(8)-2y=30

40-2y=30

subtract 40 on both sides

-2y=-10

divide by "-2" on both sides

y=5

(8,5) is your answer
