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

katovenus [111]

Answer: Darren


A) Job Offer #1 would be better financially until job offer 2 (in 12 years) would be a better and have more income, so IMO job offer #1 would set you better off financially

Select the correct answer. Which graph represents the solution to the inequality?​
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

First you simplify both sides to get -2.4x+14.4 > 52.8

then you need to subtract the 14.4 from both sides giving -2.4x> 38.4

then divide both sides by -2.4 giving an answer of

x is less than or equal to -16 meaning you point to the left with a closed circle

FIND VOLUME OF THE PYRAMID pls fast JUST ANSWER DONT EXPLAIN
cluponka [151]

Answer:

V = 211.56 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a pyramid :

V = 1/3(Lenght * width * height)

Length = 9mm

Width = 8.2 mm

Height = 8.6 mm

Hence, we have ;

V = 1/3(9 * 8.2 * 8.6)

V = 1/3 * 634.68

V = 211.56 mm
