Answer:

The correct answer would be 12, which isn't one of your options.

Step-by-step explanation:

When finding direct variation, you start with the base equation.

y = kx

Now we can use the initial values of x and y to find k.

-3 = k(18)

-1/6 = k

Now with the value of k, we can model the equation.

y = -1/6x

And we can find the new x by using our new value of y.

-2 = -1/6x

12 = x

If the base of a Pyramid has an area of 144sq ft And if the slant higher of the pyramid is 10ft what would be the higher of the
pogonyaev

Answer:

the height of the pyramid is 8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the base of the pyramid to be square whose area is 144 sq ft

This means the side of the base would be √144 = 12 ft.

Now, if you will imagine a pyramid we can easily observe that

Height(H) , slant height( L=10 ft) and half of the side length( 6ft) make a right angle triangle. We can easily calculate height from Pythagoras theorem as

10^2 = H^2 +6^2

⇒ H^2 = 10^2-6^2 = 100-36 = 64

⇒ H = 8 ft

Therefore, the height of the pyramid is 8 ft

Ms.Tao flies roundtrip twice yearly between Jacksonville and Los Angeles on business the distance between the two cites is 2,150
vlabodo [156]
2,150 estimated would be 2,000. Since she flies there and back multiply 2,000 by 2. Since she flies it twice multiply 4,000 by 2. Estimated: 8,000 miles. To find the exact miles Do the same thing but with 2,150: 2,150 times 2 = 4,300. 4,300 times 2 = 8,600. She flies exactly 8,600 miles per year :)
