<span>Let us solve the problem using an equation. Let x be the speed of one of the boats. The speed of the other boat will be x + 9. Both the boats have traveled for 6 hours, starting from 12:00 noon to 6:pm The distance they have traveled within 6 hours is 126 miles. The distance traveled by the first boat is x*6 = 6x Miles The distance traveled by the other boat is (x + 9) 6 = 6x + 54 Miles Thus, 6x + 6x + 54 = 126 Miles 12x = 126 - 54 12x = 72 x = 72/12 x = 6 So the speed of one of the boats is 6 miles per hour and the speed of the other boats is 6 + 9 = 15 miles per hour.</span>

The height of a pyramid-shaped sculpture with a square base is one half the length of each side. The volume of the sculpture is
Nimfa-mama [501]

The volume of a pyramid is V = 1/3 x base length^2 x height

Let X = base length.

We are told the height is 1/2 the length, so height would be 1/2x

Now we have:

972 = 1/3 * x^2 * 1/2x

Simplifying we get:

972 = 1/6x^3

Multiply both sides by 6:

5832 = x^3

Take the cube root of both sides:

x = 18

The length of the base is 18 inches.

The height is 1/2 that, so the height would be 18/2 = 9 inches.
