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>

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

n=(\frac{2.58(1000)}{50})^2 =2662.56 \approx 2663

So the answer for this case would be n=2663 rounded up to the nearest integer

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following info:

ME = 50 margin of error desired

\sigma = 1000 the standard deviation for this case

The margin of error is given by this formula:

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}    (a)

And on this case we have that ME =50 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2   (b)

The critical value for 99% of confidence interval now can be founded using the normal distribution. The significance is \alpha=0.01. And for this case would be z_{\alpha/2}=2.58, replacing into formula (b) we got:

n=(\frac{2.58(1000)}{50})^2 =2662.56 \approx 2663

So the answer for this case would be n=2663 rounded up to the nearest integer

Nina’s garden is 4 1/5 meters long and 3/10 meter wide. What is the area of Nina’s garden?
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

63/50 meters^2 or in mixed number: 1 13/50 meters^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Area= length * width

length = 4 1/5= 21/5 . Multiply the whole number with the denominator. 4*5= 20 . Add 20 with the numerator. 20+1=22

width= 3/10

21/5* 3/10 ( Multiply the denominators together). ( Multiply the numerators together).

21*3 / 5*10
