<span>Answers:
(A) </span>Scale factor = 5/6 or 0.833
(B) Area ratio is 25:36
(C) Volume ratio is 125:216
(D) Volume of smaller pyramid = 9375m^3


<span>Explanation:
A) The formula for the scale factor for pyramids is:
Scale factor = Height of small pyramid/Height of large pyramid
</span>Scale factor <span>= 25/30 
</span>Scale factor <span>= 5/6 or 0.833

B) </span><span> The ratio of the area of the base of the smaller pyramid to the larger pyramid = (25)^2/(30)^2 </span><span>
Hence area ratio is 25:36

C) </span><span>Ratio of the volume of the smaller pyramid to the larger = (25)^3/(30)^3
</span><span>
Therefore volume ratio is 125:216

D) Volume of smaller pyramid is 125/216 times the volume of the larger pyramid, from above,

Therefore volume of smaller pyramid=</span>125/216 * 16200 = 9375m^3

Write the equation of the circle graphed below.
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

As shown in picture, this circle has radius 1.5 and passes (0, 1.5)

=> According to the general form of equation of circle that has radius r and passes (a, b): (x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = r^2, we have:

x^2 + (y - 1.5)^2 = 1.5^2

<=>

x^2 + (y - 1.5)^2 = 2.25

Hope this helps!

Define the first law of thermodynamic with one example.
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

See explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first law of thermodynamic states that heat is a form of energy, and as such, is subject to the principle of conservation of energy (Energy is not destroyed or created but remains constant)

For example, when you put an ice cube in water, the ice will melt but the water will get colder, this is because the temperature between the ice cube and the water tends to an equilibrium and the total heat in the system remained the same during this time.
