We know that

[volume of a <span>pyramid]=[area of the base]*h/3

</span><span>a) The scale factor of the smaller pyramid to the larger pyramid in simplest form
</span><span>
12/20----------> 3/5
the answer Part a) is 3/5

</span><span>(b) The ratio of the area of the base of the smaller pyramid to the base of the larger pyramid

[</span>The ratio of the area of the base of the smaller pyramid to the base of the larger pyramid]--------> (3/5)²------> 9/25------> 0.36

[volume of a larger pyramid]=8192 cm³
h=20 cm
so
[8192]=[area of the base larger pyramid]*20/3
[area of the base larger pyramid]=8192*3/20------> 1228.80 cm²<span>

</span>[area of the base smaller pyramid]=(3/5)²*1228.80-----> 442.37 cm²

The ratio of the area of the base of the smaller pyramid to the base of the larger pyramid-----------> 442.37/1228.8--------> 0.36
0.36--------> is equal to (3/5)²

the answer part b) is 0.36  

<span>(c) Ratio of the volume of the smaller pyramid to the larger
</span>
[Ratio of the volume of the smaller pyramid to the larger]=(3/5)³---> 27/125
27/125------> 0.216

the answer Part c) is 0.216

<span>(d) The volume of the smaller pyramid

[</span>The volume of the smaller pyramid]=0.216*8192------> 1769.47 cm³
<span>
the answer part c) is </span>1769.47 cm³<span>

Find the amount of tax and the tax rate. Round to two decimal places
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The tax amount is 15.17$

The tax rate is 12.4%.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we subtract the cost from the selling price.

137.17 - 122 = 15.17

We have found the tax amount, now for the tax rate.

If tax rate is x, then

122 * x = 137.17

Divide both sides by 122 to get

x = 137.17/122 = 1.124, or .124.

Then convert into percentage by moving the decimal to the right 2 times.

.124 = 12.4%

Hope this helps you
