Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
81
=
3
4
and
27
=
3
3
, so this equation can also be written as
3
4
x
=
3
3
(
x
+
2
)
=
3
3
x
+
6
.
Since the bases are now the same, we can equate exponents to get
4
x
=
3
x
+
6
so that
x
=
6
(technically this equating of exponents requires the fact that exponential functions (with base not equal to 1) are one-to-one functions).

A) <span>Scale factor of the smaller pyramid to the larger pyramid in simplest form:
</span>6 m / 12 m = 1/2
b) <span>Ratio of the areas of the bases of the smaller pyramid to the larger pyramid:
</span><span>(1/2)^2 = 1/4 </span>
c) <span>Ratio of the volume of the smaller pyramid to the larger:
</span><span>(1/2)^3 = 1/8 </span>
d) <span>Volume of the smaller pyramid:
</span>(1/8) * 400 m^3 = 50 m^3
