It's still a rectangular pyramid.

Think of a rectangular pyramid. What does it look like? Suppose you stand the pyramid on its rectangular base and then look straight down at the pyramid along an imaginary vertical line coming at you through the vertex of the pyramid. From this point of view you are easily able to see the rectangular base.

Now leave everything as is. Borrow Mom's biggest kitchen knife, and then, carefully, cut the top (including the vertex) off the pyramid, leaving the base and part of the solid above it as they are. The shape will be a rectangular pyramid, not only the base itself but also the shape of the area formed when you removed the top of the pyramid.

How do I calculate volume
9966 [12]

Answer:

Volume = length x width x height.

You only need to know one side to figure out the volume of a cube.

The units of measure for volume are cubic units.

Volume is in three-dimensions.

You can multiply the sides in any order.

Which side you call length, width, or height doesn't matter.

Given: KL || MN Prove: KM/JM = LN/JL
jeka94

Answer:

See the bolded parts below. It corresponds to the blanks we have to fill in for each step.

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking a look at the figure, we see that KL ║ MN, ( which is given, as you can see ) while MJ and NJ act each as a transversal. This is a key point that will help us.

2. For step 2, we see that ∠JKL ≅ ∠JMN, while ∠JLK ≅ ∠JNM. This is true is they are present as corresponding angles, on either transversal. We can fill in this blank with " Corresponding angles. "

3. Therefore, for this 3rd step triangles JKL and JMN will be similar by " angle angle similarity. " After all, ∠JKL ≅ ∠JMN / ∠JLK ≅ ∠JNM.

4. This step can be proved by the " Proportionality of Corresponding Parts in Similar Triangles. " As you can see, the triangles are similar - and hence their parts correspond to one another.

5. I believe you mean step 5 to be " JM = JK + KM and JN = JL + LN. " That being said this is true by the " Partition Postulate, " which states that a whole is composed of it's parts.

6. This step substituted the 5th step into the 4th step. Therefore, it can be stated as " Substitute step 5 ➡ step 4. "

7. And for this last step here you can say " Simplify further. "

Yesenia buys water to make tea for all her friends. She buys 1 qurt of water and 1/2 gallon of water. How many cups of water doe
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

12 cups of water

Step-by-step explanation:

This question has to do with conversion

We are told that she buy 1 quart and 1/2 gallon of water.

Hence,

1 quart of water = 4 cups of water

1 gallon of water = 16 cups of water

1/2 gallon of water = x

Cross Multiple

x = 1/2 × 16 cups of water

x = 8 cups of water.

Therefore, the total cups of water that she bought = 4 cups of water + 8 cups of water = 12 cups of water
