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.

Cross product property
Klio2033 [76]

Using the cross product property on this proportion gives us the following equation:

20 (2x - 9) = 10 (9)

Use the distributive property and multiply

40x - 180 = 90

Add 180 to both sides

40x = 270

Divide 40 from both sides

x = 270/40

Simplify fraction

x = 27/4

This should be your answer. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

Simora [160]

Answer:

420

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of students in the school is unknown, so we'll call it x.

55% of the number of students are girls.

There are 321 girls.

55% of x = 231

0.55x = 231

x = 231/0.55

x = 420

Answer: 420
