Let Brandon be b. Then Michael is 3b. So:

3b-18=9(b-18)

3b-18=9b-162

 

6b=144

b=24

3b=72

Brandon is 24, Michael is 72.

Hope this helped!

Helen has 48 cubic inches of clay to make a solid square right pyramid with a base edge measuring 6 inches. Which is the slant h
Nikitich [7]

Answer: 5 inches


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Volume of clay = 48 cubic inches

If we make a solid square right pyramid with a base edge a= 6 inches.

Then its base area = a^2=6^2=36\ inches^2

we know that volume of square right pyramid=\frac{1}{3}\times\ a^2h

Therefore, volume of square right pyramid made by all of clay=\frac{1}{3}\times\ a^2h=48 cubic inches

\Rightarrow\frac{1}{3}\times\ (36)\times\ h=48\\\Rightarrow12h=48\\\Rightarrow\ h=4\ inches.....\text{[Divide 12 on both sides]}

Now, slant height l=\sqrt{(\frac{a}{2})^2+h^2}

\\\Rightarrow\ l=\sqrt{3^2+4^2}\\\Rightarrow\ l=\sqrt{9+16}\\\rightarrow\ l=\sqrt{25}\\\Rightarrow\ l=5

The slant height of the pyramid if Helen uses all the clay=5 inches
