Answer:

Number one the base is 24 and the Volume is 120

Number two the base is also 24 and the Volume is 240.

Step-by-step explanation:

For #1:

For the first one the area of the base is 8x3 which equals 24 so for base Number 1 its 24.

All we got to do to figure out the volume is multiply by 10 *the height* and then divide by 2 because we are finding the volume of a pyramid. 24x10 = 240/2 = 120. So the volume for Number 1 is 120.

For #2:

It has the exact same number except we are dealing with a rectangular prism which means at the end we don't have to divide by 2. For the base its  8 x 3 = 24 the same as the pyramid.  For the volume-  8 x 3 = 24 x 10 = 240 which means the volume is 240. And of course don't forget the unit yards³

Hope I was able to help!

Which algebraic expression is a polynomial?
Ierofanga [76]
The correct answer is b.  
A polynomial is an expression that contains terms with the form ax^n where a is equal to any number (negative or positive) and n is the power, or exponent, of x (squared, cubed, etc.). In order for it to be a polynomial, the exponent must be positive. Terms that contain square roots are not polynomials as the exponent is considered radical (1/2). Thus, b is the correct answer.

1. I bought a motorbike from a friend for $2,000. I sold it to another friend for $2,500. She decided she didn't want it, so I b
belka [17]
     We can make this an equation, lets start with how much money he has. Since he bought the motorbike he lost 2,000, then sold it and received 2,500. The 2,000 cancels out but he still has 500. Now that he bought it for 2,200 we subtract 2,200 from 500 and get -1,700. Then finally, he sold it for 2,000 so we add that to -1,700 and get 300. His total profit was $300.

-2,000 + 2,500 = 500
500 - 2,200      = -1,700
-1,700 + 2,000 = 300
