Use a calculator to divide the two numbers given 
163/2873 = 0.0567
which is approximate

Move the decimal 2 spots to the right to convert to a percent
We go from 0.0567 to 5.67% which rounds to 5.7% when rounding to the nearest tenth of a percent (one decimal place)

Answer: 5.7%

Please please help me find the volume and surface area i’ll give brainliest
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Area: 272ft²

Volume = 82.6236447189ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

AREA

The area of a square pyramid is found by combining the area of the base and the area of the triangular faces:

Area of base = area of square = L² = 8² = 16ft²

Area of one triangular face = (1/2)bh = (1/2)(8)(16) = 64ft²

There are four triangular faces so the total area = 16+4(64)= 16+256= 272 ft²

VOLUME

The volume of a square pyramid = (a²)(h/3), where a is the length of the base and h is the length from the top of the pyramid to the middle of the square.

We are given a, but not h. To find h, we must imagine a right-angled triangle within the pyramid, where 16ft is the hypotenuse, h is the height and the base is half of a (since the base is a square and the distance is from the edge to the middle). We can then use pythagorus's theorem to find h:

A²=B²+C²

16²=(8/2)²+h²

256=16+h²

h=√240

h=15.4919333848ft

Knowing h, we can find the volume:

Volume = (a²)(h/3)

Volume = (8²)(15.4919333848/3)

Volume = (16)(5.16397779493)

Volume = 82.6236447189ft³
