Well, we need to find the area of the cake.  22.5 times 10 is 225.  That is the area then we need to find the area of each piece of cake.  2.5 times 2.5 is 6.26.
so divide the area of the cake by the area of each piece to find how many pieces can be cut.
225/6.25=36  36 pieces of cake can be cut from the cake

What effect would doubling all the dimensions of a triangular pyramid have on the volume of the pyramid? Explain your reasoning.
spin [16.1K]

Doubling all the dimensions of a triangular pyramid, the volume of the pyramid becomes quadrupled.

Explanation:

The volume of the triangular pyramid is given by

$V_{1}=\frac{1}{3} \cdot b \cdot h$

where b is the base of the pyramid and

h is the height of the pyramid.

Doubling all the dimensions of the pyramid, we have,

b=2b and h=2h

Thus, volume of the triangular pyramid is given by

$V_{2}=\frac{1}{3} \cdot2b \cdot 2h$

Multiplying, we get,

$V_{2}=\frac{1}{3}4bh

$V_{2}=4\frac{1}{3}bh

V_2$=4 \cdot V_{1}$

Thus, doubling all the dimensions of a triangular pyramid, the volume of the pyramid becomes quadrupled.
