Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: she made a mistake between 1 and 2
A = first piece, b = second piece, c = third piece
a + b + c = 47
b = 3a
c = 5a + 2
a + (3a) + (5a + 2) = 47.....combine like terms
9a + 2 = 47
9a = 47 - 2
9a = 45
a = 45/9
a = 5 ft
b = 3a.....b = 3(5)....b = 15 ft
c = 5a + 2....c = 5(5) + 2.....c = 25 + 2....c = 27 ft
longest piece (c) = 27 ft
Answer:
Volume = ⅓n²(n-1) or ⅓(n³ - n²)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Solid Shape: Right pyramid
Edge= n units
Height= n - 1 units
Required
Volume of the pyramid
The volume of a right pyramid is
Volume = ⅓Ah
Where A represents the area of the base
h represent the height of the pyramid
Since it has a square base;
The area is calculated as follows
Area, A = edge * edge
A = n * n
A = n²
Recall that
Volume = ⅓Ah
Substitute n² for A and n - 1 for h
The expression becomes
Volume = ⅓ * n² * (n - 1)
Volume = ⅓n²(n-1)
The expression can be solved further by opening the bracket
Volume = ⅓(n³ - n²)
