Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Required: The distance.
This is calculated as
So:
The pyramid's formula for Volume is identical to the formula for Volume of a prism, except for having a factor 1/3.
Base Area and height being the same for a pyramid and a prism, the volume of the pyramid is always one third that of the prism.
A similiar fact pertains to Cone vs Cylinder...these 3 dimensional volumes have a ratio of 1/3 to one another.
In two dimensions, there's a ratio of 1/2 between areas of triangles and rectangles having the same base & height.
Slope = difference in y / difference in x
Slope = (w --9) / (5 --7)
Slope = (w +9) / (5 + 7)
12 * slope = w +9
w = 12*slope -9 and since slope = 1,
w = 12 -9
w = 3
