Answer:
x = 3
y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
When 2 triangles are congruent, they will have exact same 3 sides length and exact same 3 angles measure.
So we can say:
-2x + 6y = 6
and
-7x + 8y = -5
Let's multiply first equation by 7 and 2nd equation by -2, to get:
7 [-2x + 6y = 6] = -14x +42y = 42
and
-2 [-7x + 8y = -5] = 14x - 16y = 10
Now adding these 2 new equations and solving for y:
-14x +42y = 42
14x - 16y = 10
----------------------
26y = 52
y = 52/26
y = 2
Now we put y = 2 into 1st equation (or any other) and solve for x:
-2x + 6y = 6
-2x + 6(2) = 6
-2x + 12 = 6
6 = 2x
x = 6/2
x = 3
A) <span>Scale factor of the smaller pyramid to the larger pyramid in simplest form:
</span>6 m / 12 m = 1/2
b) <span>Ratio of the areas of the bases of the smaller pyramid to the larger pyramid:
</span><span>(1/2)^2 = 1/4 </span>
c) <span>Ratio of the volume of the smaller pyramid to the larger:
</span><span>(1/2)^3 = 1/8 </span>
d) <span>Volume of the smaller pyramid:
</span>(1/8) * 400 m^3 = 50 m^3
I believe the answer is 6
