So the picture below shows what the slant height is. It also shows that the pyramid can form a right triangle, in which we can use the pythagorean theorem, which is leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2 .

But first, we have to find the height of this pyramid. The volume formula for a square pyramid is A=\frac{lwh}{3} . Since we know its a square pyramid, the length and width are going to be the same (12 ft), and we know that the volume is 432 ft^3. Using this info, we can solve for the height:

432=\frac{12*12*h}{3}\\ 1296=12*12*h\\ 1296=144*h\\ 9=h

So now we can use the pythagorean theorem (remember to split the 12 by 2, since the right triangle has only half the length of the base). Our equation will be solved as such:

6^2+9^2=s^2\\ 36+81=s^2\\ 117=s^2\\ 10.8=s

In short, the slant height is 10.8 ft.

3+2/3(3-x)<-7 please help I am stuck
asambeis [7]
Solve the problem then state if it's true or false- this is an order of operation problem. 3+2/3(3-X) this is the problem. Now distribute, 3+ 2/3(3)- 2/3(x)= 3+2- 2/3x so the final expression would be 5-2/3x I don't know about the <-7 part but that's the solution to the first one

PLEASE HELP PLEASE WILL MARK BRAINLY
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Every 18 miles he uses 3 gallons

divide this:

18 ÷ 3 = 6 miles per gallon

30 miles = 30 ÷ 6 = 5 gallons

7 gallons = 7 x 6 = 42 miles

48 miles = 48 ÷ 6 = 8 gallons

10 gallons = 10 x 6 = 60 miles

Hope this helps :D
