Answer:

A) 5.12mm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Find the volume of the bigger pyramid

This is a triangular based pyramid.

The formula to use is given as Volume of Pyramid =

1/3 × Area of the triangle × Height

Area of the triangle = 1/2 × 3 mm × 4mm = 6mm²

Volume of the large pyramid = 1/3 × 6mm² × 5mm

= 10mm³

We are given the length of the small pyramid as 4mm

We would be using was is known as scale factor to find the volume of the small pyramid

The scale factor k = (Height of the small pyramid)³/ (Height of the Large pyramid)³

k = 4³/5³

k = Volume of small pyramid/ Volume of large pyramid

Volume of small pyramid = X

Volume of large pyramid = 10mm³

Hence,

4³/5³ = X/10

Cross Multiply

= 4³ × 10 = 5³ × X

X = (4³ × 10)/ 5³

X = 5.12mm³

The square pyramid has a volume of 486 cubic inches. What is the value of x?
Softa [21]

Volume of square pyramid can be calculated by the formula :

V=a^{2}\frac{h}{3}

a is the length of base and h is the height of the pyramid.

In the given figure a= x in.and h = \frac{1}{4}  x in.

Volume of pyramid given V =486 cubic inches.

Substituting these values in volume of pyramid we have:

486= x^{2}  \frac{x}{4} ÷ 3

Or 486=\frac{x^{3}}{4}  x\frac{1}{3}

486= \frac{x^{3}}{12}

Multiplying both sides by 12

5832 =x^{3}

18^{3}  =x^{3}

Or x= 18 in.

How would you explain this ?
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing you have to do is look at the mother curve. That curve is y = 1/x

It becomes undefined at x = 0 (I will show both curves below).

That is not what has been given. The graph you have been given becomes undefined at x = - 1 , so the equation of the curve (so far) y = 1/(x + 1)

Now we have to worry about the y intercept. When x = 0, y = 4. That can be accomplished in two ways

A. y = 4/(x + 1) or

B.  y = 2/(x + 1) + 2 or

C.  y = 1/(x + 1) + 3

All three of these will give a value of y = 4 when x = 0. But you have 1 problem left. What happens as x goes to say 5.

The value of A will give y = 4/(5 + 1)=4/6 = 2/3. Which does not work.

The value of C will give y = 1/(5 + 1) + 3 which gives 3 1/5 which also does not work.

Only B works. y = 2/(5+1) + 2 = 2/6 + 2 = 2 1/3 which is a little above the horizontal asymptote.

Red: y = 1/x

Blue: y = 2/(x + 1) + 2

The value at the end is never going to change. y will always be just a bit

(Will give Brainliest) Explain what the graph of the function represents. Be sure to use complete sentences.
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer: f(-735) = -\frac{2}{3}(-735) + 490 = 980

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = -\frac{2}{3} x + 490 =0  Subtract 490 from both sides

        \frac{3}{2}* -\frac{2}{3} x = -490 *\frac{3}{2}   Then flip -\frac{2}{3} multiply both sides by \frac{3}{2} to cancel out -\frac{2}{3}

      x= -735  Thus giving you -735 as your x.

Then you plug it back into the equation to solve.

What type of triangle has exactly two acute angles?

The correct answer is right.

An acute one would have all three acute, while an obtuse one would have at least one obtuse angle.
