The smaller number is 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Sum of two numbers = 100

The sum of 8 and the larger number is equal to 5 times the smaller number.

To find the smaller number.

Let,

Larger number is x and smaller number is y.

According to the problem,

x+y =100 ----- eq 1

8+x = 5y ------ eq 2

Now,

Putting the value x = 100 - y from eq 1 in eq 2 we get,

8+100-y = 5y

or, 6y = 108

or, y = 18

Hence,

The smaller number is 18.

What is the volume of the square pyramid? Round to the nearest tenth.

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

$V=718.7\ cm^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of the square pyramid is equal to

$V=\frac{1}{3}b^{2}h$

we have

$b=14\ cm$ ----> the length of the base of the square pyramid

$h=11\ cm$ ---> the height of the pyramid

substitute the values in the formula

$V=\frac{1}{3}(14)^{2}(11)$

$V=718.7\ cm^{3}$
