X^2-7x-4=0
(x-7/2)^2-(7/2)^2-4=0
(x-7/2)^2-(7)^2/(2)^2-4=0
(x-7/2)^2-49/4-4=0
(x-7/2)^2+(-49-4*4)/4=0
(x-7/2)^2+(-49-16)/4=0
(x-7/2)^2+(-65)/4=0
(x-7/2)^2-65/4=0
(x-7/2)^2-65/4+65/4=0+65/4
(x-7/2)^2=65/4
sqrt[ (x-7/2)^2 ]=+-sqrt(65/4)
x-7/2=+-sqrt(65)/sqrt(4)
x-7/2=+-sqrt(65)/2
x-7/2+7/2=+-sqrt(65)/2+7/2
x=7/2+-sqrt(65)/2
x=[7+-sqrt(65)]/2
x1=[7-sqrt(65)]/2
x2=[7+sqrt(65)]/2

A rectangular pyramid measures three feet by four feet at the base, and has a height of seven feet. Find its volume. A. 21 ft3 B
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

C. 28 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

The general formula for the volume of a pyramid:

V = \frac{1}{3}Bh, where B = the area of the base and h = height of the pyramid

Since the base is a rectangle, we can find area using the formula:

A = l x w or A = 3 x 4 = 12 ft²

Using B = 12 and h = 7:

V = \frac{(12)(7)}{3}

V = 28 ft³
