What is the difference of the volumes of the two oblique pyramids, both of which have square bases? Round the volumes to the nea
rest tenth of a centimeter.
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
See attachment for the figure
Volume of pyramid can be defined as
V = 1/3 x area of the base x height.
-> Pyramid A:
Volume of Pyramid can be determined by:
V = 1/3 x (2.6cm)² x (2cm) = 4.5067 cm³
Pyramid B:
Volume of Pyramid can be determined by:
V = 1/3 x (2cm)² x (2.5cm) = 3.3333 cm³
Difference b/w two oblique pyramids: 4.5067 cm³ - 3.333 cm³ = 1.17 cm³
By Rounding the volumes to the nearest tenth of a centimeter
1.17cm³ ≈ 1.2cm³
Therefore, the difference of the volumes of the two oblique pyramids is 1.2cm³
