How can a triangular prism have a greater volume than a rectangular prism?

Mathematics
1 answer:
son4ous [18]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the two prisms have bases of equal area.

Then the volume of the rectangular prism is V = (base area)(height).

The volume of the triangular prism is V = (1/3)(base area)(height)

We could compare the two volumes by creating the ratio inequality

  (1/3) (base area)(t-height)

------------------------------------------

      (base area)(r-height)

The triangular prism will have the greater volume for (1/3)((t-height) > r-height.

2. Write an expression to represent f (20)
Furkat [3]

Answer:

I just learned this topic and have the same question, so I'm not sure if this right. However, I see a fellow student struggling and have to at least put in what I know. My equation was f(n) = 64(1/2)^n-1, then the question was write an expression to represent f(20).

Step-by-step explanation:

So, my answer was f(20) = 64(1/2)^19

f(20) is the number you plug into n. And because the exponent is n-1, I knew to subtract 1 from 20 to get 19.

Then I just wrote the equation out like the original expect with the numbers pluged in: f(20) = 64(1/2)^19

I hope this helps!
