The formula of the volume of a pyramid is 1/3BH, where B represents the area of the base of the pyramid and H represents the hei

ght of the pyramid. The volume of pyramid A is 3 times the volume of pyramid B. Is the area of the base of Pyramid A greater, equal, or less that the area of the base of Pyramid B?

Answer:

It depends on the relation between the heights  of both pyramids

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the volume of a pyramid of base b and height h is

V=\frac{1}{3}bh

If the volume of the pyramid A is 3 times the volume of the pyramid B, then

\frac{1}{3}b_ah_a=3*\frac{1}{3}b_bh_b=b_bh_b

Which means

b_ah_a=3*b_bh_b

If we knew both heights are the same, we could conclude that

b_a=3*b_b

In which case the base of the pyramid A would be greater than the other base

But if, for example, the height of the pyramid A is 3 times the height of the other height, then

3*b_a=3*b_b=>b_a=b_b

Both bases would be the same.

If we choose that  

h_a >3*h_b

it would mean

b_a

In which case the base of the pyramid A would be less than the other base

So the answer entirely depends on the relation between the heights of both pyramids

Today, everything at a store is on sale. The store offers a 20% discount.
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

a) $19.2

b) 0.8x

c) $17.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We want to find the discount price given the regular price

The discount is 20%

so the discount price will be;

24 - 20% of 24

24 - 4.8 = $19.2

b) We have this as;

x - (20% of x)

x - 0.2x = 0.8x

c) let the original price be x

x - 20% of x = 14

x - 0.2x = 14

0.8x = 14

x = 14/0.8

x = $17.5

Find the ratio y:x, if 3x=11y,
Aleks [24]

Answer:

3:11

Step-by-step explanation:

3x=11y

<u>Rearrange to the format of the ratio.</u>

11y = 3x

<u>Let's find </u><u>y/x</u><u>. </u><u>y/x</u><u> is </u><u>y:x.</u>

11y = 3x

<u>Divide both sides by </u><u>11</u><u>.</u>

11y/11 = 3x/11

y = 3x/11

<u>NOW LET'S DIVIDE BOTH SIDES BY </u><u>x</u><u> TO GET </u><u>x</u><u> AS THE DENOMINATOR OF </u><u>y</u><u>.</u>

y = 3x/11

y/x = (3x/11)/x

y/x = (3x/11) * 1/x

y/x = 3/11

Therefore, y:x = 3:11
