Doug because his sequence follows a rule of multiplying by -1/2
Hope I got it right for your sake.
The answer needs the volume of the original pyramid minus the small pyramid cut off.
Volume of pyramid = (area of base x height)/3
(12 x 6 x 14)/3 - (4 x 10 x 6)/3 = 256 m^3
The diagram is completely wrong so this problem is actually impossible to solve!
If you slice horizontally across a rectangular pyramid the ratios of the edges will remain constant.
The two rectangles are not the same shape! 12:6 is not the same ratio as 10:4
If the original pyramid in this question was sliced in half the top rectangle of the frustum would be 6 x 3.
In this diagram the height was reduced from 14m to 8m so the top 6m was removed.
If the base was 12 x 6 the top rectangle should be 6/14 smaller = 5.14m by 2.57m (not 10 x 4)
If you are brave you could point this out to your teacher
2. is 45° it’s showing a 90° cut in half, since it’s congruent, it’s gonna be 45°…
3. False
1. 50 degree angle I believe
2. 150 degree angle
3. 45 degree angle
Sorry if this doesn't help but, with no context about the answers they have given you I can't fully help. Try using a protractor like this down below.
Have a good day!
