Answer:

<em>The volume of pyramid B is 64 times the volume of pyramid A.</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Two square pyramids A and B.

Side Length of A, s_A = 12 inches

Height of A, h_A = 8 inches

Side Length of B, s_B = 48 inches

Height of B, h_B = 32 inches

To find:

How many times bigger is the volume of pyramid B than pyramid A?

OR

V_B is how many times bigger than V_A ?

Solution:

First of all, let us have a look at the formula for volume of a pyramid:

V=\dfrac{1}{3} \times \text{Area of Base} \times \text{Height}

Here, base is square, so:

V=\dfrac{1}{3} \times s^2 \times h

Volume of pyramid A:

V_A=\dfrac{1}{3} \times s_A^2 \times h_A

\Rightarrow V_A=\dfrac{1}{3} \times 12^2 \times 8 = 384\ inch^3

Volume of pyramid B:

V_B=\dfrac{1}{3} \times s_B^2 \times h_B

\Rightarrow V_B=\dfrac{1}{3} \times 48^2 \times 32 \\\Rightarrow V_B=\dfrac{1}{3} \times 12^2 \times 8 \times 4^2 \times 4\\\Rightarrow V_B=\dfrac{1}{3} \times 12^2 \times 8 \times 64\\\Rightarrow V_B= 24576\ inch^3 = 384\times 64\ inch^3\\\Rightarrow V_B = V_A\times 64\ inch^3

<em>The volume of pyramid B is 64 times the volume of pyramid A.</em>

Given the following geometric sequence, find the common ratio: {16, 64, 256, ...}.
Anettt [7]

Answer:

The common ratio is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to divide a term by the previous term to find the common ratio in a geometric sequence:

64 ÷ 16 = 4

256 ÷ 64 = 4

By doing it twice we can confirm that the common ratio is 4

Complete the square to rewrite y-x^2-6x+14 in vertex form. then state whether the vertex is a maximum or minimum and give its co
ycow [4]

Answer:

y= x^2 -6x +(\frac{6}{2})^2 +14 -(\frac{6}{2})^2

And solving we have:

y= x^2 -6x +9 + 14 -9

y= (x-3)^2 +5

And we can write the expression like this:

y-5 = (x-3)^2

The vertex for this case would be:

V= (3,5)

And the minimum for the function would be 3 and there is no maximum value for the function

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following equation given:

y= x^2 -6x +14

We can complete the square like this:

y= x^2 -6x +(\frac{6}{2})^2 +14 -(\frac{6}{2})^2

And solving we have:

y= x^2 -6x +9 + 14 -9

y= (x-3)^2 +5

And we can write the expression like this:

y-5 = (x-3)^2

The vertex for this case would be:

V= (3,5)

And the minimum for the function would be 3 and there is no maximum value for the function
