The measure of one side of the base = 4 cm

Formula for the volume of a square pyramid V=\frac{1}{3}\times a^2h

The area of the base of the pyramid = 16 cm²

Length of the side of the base of the pyramid = 4 cm

Solution:

Given data:

Volume of a square pyramid = 48 cm³

Height of the square pyramid = 9 cm

Formula for the volume of a square pyramid:

$V=\frac{1}{3}\times a^2h, where a is one side of the base and h is height.

Substitute volume and height in the formula,

$48=\frac{1}{3}\times a^2\times9

$48=a^2\times 3

Divide by 3 on both sides of the equation,

$16=a^2 – – – – (1)

Taking square root on both sides of the equation, we get

a = 4

One side of the base = 4 cm

Area of the base = side × side

It is already found in equation (1),

Area of the base = 16 cm²

Length of the side of the base of the pyramid = 4 cm.

Which of the following inequalities have the same solution set? Select all that apply (>= means greater than or equal to and
Alex_Xolod [135]
<span>7n + 4 - 5n <= 2(n+2) Let's simplify these expression first 2n + 4 <= 2(n + 2) 2(n +4) = 2n + 4 The LHS and RHS expressions are the same but the inequality says contrary Hence 2n + 4 is not less than but equal to 2(n + 2). 7+ 6a >= -4(2-a) - 2a -4(2-a) - 2a = -8 + 4a - 2a = -8 + 2a. It should be obvious that 7 +6a is greater than the RHS expression. Suppose a= 2 then we have 7 + 6(2) = 19 while -8 + 2(2) = - 8 + 4 = -4 So it follows that 7 + 6a >= -4(2-4) -2a 4x >= 8. The expression is always true so the equal to option is out.</span>

Jerome is cooking dinner. He needs 7 ounces of broccoli for each person . Jerome is not sure how many people will come for dinne
Burka [1]
If x is the number of people that come over to dinner, and y is how much ounces of broccoli he needs, then this is your equation:
7x = y is your answer

Because he needs 7 ounces for each person, to find the number of ounces he needs, you multiply 7 by the number of people.
