Answer:
Lateral areas have ratio of 4:1
Volumes have ratio of 8:1
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a rule in 3D geometry that when two solids are similar, and their edges are in the ratio of
, the ratio of any surface area type measure is always
this includes the lateral area, which is just a surface area minus the base, which is not important for this problem. The ratio of volumes of those similar solids is in the ratio of
.
Now, to solve this, we need to find the ratio of any corresponding length of these similar pyramids. We have both the heights, so if we form a ratio of
which if you simplify it, it is
, which is
. The ratio of the heights are
.
Now we can apply those rules to this ratio, the ratio of lateral areas would then be
, which is
. the ratio of volumes would be
, which is

b) n+d
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a reading comprehension problem. You are asked to understand what you are reading, and to think about what question is being asked.
<u>Given</u>:
a) someone bought 20 notebook computers and 17 desktop computers
b) someone bought n notebook computers and d desktop computers
<u>Find</u>:
a) the total number of computers bought
b) the total number of computers bought
<u>Solution</u>:
a) The total number bought is found by adding together the numbers of each kind:
20 +17 = 37 . . . total computers
__
b) The total number bought is found by adding together the numbers of each kind:
n + d . . . total computers
