Answer:

The Base Area

Step-by-step explanation:

B represents the Base Area of a pyramid. The Volume is one third times base times height. Because the Volume of Pyramid occupies 1/3 of a prism-like in the picture below.

This is valid not only for the right pyramids but also for every other cases: Regular Pyramid, Oblique Pyramid.

2. Suppose (220)_b and (251)_b are the squares of consecutive integers. Determine b.

Andrei [34K]

Let $x$ and $x+1$ be these consecutive integers. For some base $b$ , we can write

$(x_{10})^2=220_b=2b^2+2b$

$((x+1)_{10})^2=251_b=2b^2+5b+1$

$x^2=2b^2+2b$

then

$x^2+1=2b^2+2b+1$

Now,

$x^2+2x+1=2b^2+5b+1$

$2x+2b^2+2b+1=2b^2+5b+1$

$\implies2x=3b$

Squaring both sides gives

$4x^2=9b^2$

and so

$4(2b^2+2b)=9b^2$

$\implies8b^2+8b=9b^2$

$\implies b^2-8b=0\implies\boxed{b=8}$

(because the base has to be non-zero)

Caroline bought 20 shares of stock at 10 1/2, and after 10 months the value of the stocks was 11 1/4. If Caroline were to sell a

mojhsa [17]

11.25 - 10.5 = 0.75

Knowing that this is the profit she makes with one share, so:

20 * 0.75 = 15

Caroline made $15 profit.

The width of a rectangle is 7y -7.5 feet and the length is 7.5y + 8 feet. Find the perimeter of the rectangle

galben [10]

Perimeter = length + length + width + width.

7y-7.5 + 7y-7.5 + 7.5y+8 + 7.5y +8

Combine like terms:

29y+1

The perimeter is 29y + 1 feet
