Answer:
9 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's begin with the formula for the volume of a square pyramid. If s is the base length, then the area of the base is s^2. The volume of the pyramid is then V = (1/3)(base area)(height). We know the volume and the base length (s), and want to find the height. Solving V = (1/3)(base area)(height)
for height, we get:
3V = (base area)(height), or
3V
---------------- = height
base area
Substituting 75 ft^3 for V and (5 ft)^2 for base area, we get:
3(75 ft^3) 9 ft
height = ------------------ = ----------------- = 9 ft
25 ft^2 1
Answer:
See method below.
Step-by-step explanation:
m/n + n/3 = 2
2/m + n = 4
First eliminate the fractions by multiplying the first equation by 3n:-
3m + n^2 = 6n...........(1)
and the second equation by m:-
2 + mn = 4m..............(2)
Now we solve using substitution:-
From equation (2):-
4m - mn = 2
m = 2 / (4 - n)
Now substitute for m in equation (1):-
6/ (4 - n) + n^2 = 6n
6 + n^2(4 - n) = 6n(4 - n)
6 + 4n^2 - n^3 = 24n - 6n^2
n^3 - 10n^2 + 24n - 6 = 0
This will not factor so we could solve this using graphical software.
To find the values of the variable m we substitute the found values of n into one of the original equations and solve for m.
