Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the center of the middle circle J, and the center of the third circle K.

Draw a line from J to the line AD such that the line is perpendicular to AD.

This forms a right triangle that is similar to the triangle ΔADK.

Writing and solving a proportion:

x / DK = AJ / AK

x / 5 = 15 / 25

x = 3

Now, draw lines from J to B and C. We now form two congruent right triangles, where the hypotenuse is 5 and the shared leg is 3.

That means these are both 3-4-5 triangles.

Therefore, BC = 4 + 4 = 8.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This looked very difficult UNTIL I looked at the pyramid as ONE HALF of a larger pyramid! Image a mirror image of the pyramid creating a pyramid that is 12 cm of the front and back side and 6 cm on the left and right edge.

IT IS NO LONGER A SQUARE PYAMID so you need the volume for a rectanglar pyramid

The volume of a square pyramide is .....

V = side² × (height / 3)

The volume of a rectangular pyramide is .....

V = base area × (height / 3)

= length × width × (height / 3)

= 12 × 6 × 10 / 3 cm³ BUT REMEMBER we want only HALF of the

= [12 × 3 × 10] divide by 2 cm³ Rectangular pyamid

Volume of the image shown in the diagram is ....

= 360 / 2 cm³

= 180 cm³ <----------------- Final Answer
