Find the volume of the square pyramid showing. round to the nearest 10th if necessary

Mathematics

solong [7]3 years ago

The volume of a square pyramid is (1/3)(area of base)(height of pyramid).

Here the area of the base is (10 ft)^2 = 100 ft^2.

13 ft is the height of one of the triangular sides, but not the height of the pyramid.  To find the latter, draw another triangle whose upper vertex is connected to the middle of one of the four equal sides of the base by a diagonal of length 13 ft.  That "middle" is 5 units straight down from the upper vertex.  Thus, you have a triangle with known hypotenuse (13 ft) and known opposite side 5 feet (half of 10 ft).  What is the height of the pyramid?  
To find this, use the Pyth. Thm.:  (5 ft)^2 + y^2 = (13 ft)^2.  y = 12 ft.

Then the vol. of the pyramid is (1/3)(area of base)(height of pyramid) =
(1/3)(100 ft^2)(12 ft) = 400 ft^3 (answer)

What is the value of x
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

x =68

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles of a triangle are 180

37+75+x = 180

Combine like terms

112+x = 180

Subtract 112 from each side

112+x-112=180-112

x =68

Prove that: <br> 27^10-9^14 is divisible by 24
Alexandra [31]

27^10-9^14

=3^30 - 3^28

=3^28 (3^2-1)

=3^28 ·8

=2^27 ·3·8

=3^27 · 24 is divisible by 24
