Volume of pyramid = 1/3*AH, where A is the area of the base and H is the height

Since we are given three sides of the triangle (the base of the pyramid), we should use Heron formula: Area of a triangle = sq.root of(s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)), where s is the semi-perimeter (ie. the perimeter divided by 2) and a, b and c are side lengths.
s = (5 + 12 + 13)/2
= 30/2 = 15
A = sq,root of(15(15 - 5)(15 - 12)(15 - 13))
= sq.root of (15*10*3*2)
= sq.root of 900
= 30 m^2

Volume = 1/3*AH
= 1/3*30*9
= 90 m^3

Triangle XYZ has been enlarged and P as the center of dilation and scale to form a triangle X’ Y’ Z’

Maksim231197 [3]

Distances from the center of dilation are multiplied by the dilation factor. The appropriate choice is ...

... A. X'P/XP = Y'P/YP = Z'P/ZP

_____

We don't know what selection B means in this context.

Selection C will only be true if the dilation is by a factor of 2.

Selection D will only be true if P is the center of the circumscribing circle for both X'Y'Z' and XYZ.

-11 - 5a = 6(5a + 4) but I really need it in mathematical form.

ella [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In this equation what is strange is probably using the letter a as the unknown, but this is a matter of choice we could have calle y or z for that matter. Then we will treat it ans any other equation and solve it.

-11 -5a = 6(5a+4)

-11 -5a= 30a + 24

-11 - 24 = 30a + 5a (placing the unknown a in the rght side and the numbers in the left to solve the equation)

- 35 = 35a

-35/35 = a

- 1= a
