The volume of a pyramid is one-third of the product of its altitude and area of the base. 

Area of the base = (8 in)² = 64 in²

Altitude:
    The altitude is the length of the right triangle formed from the base and the slant height as the hypotenuse.
                                    (5 in)² = h² + (4 in)²
                                            h = 3 in

Volume:
                                   V = Ah/3
                                   V = (64 in²)(9 in) / 3 = 192 in³

The volume of the solid right pyramid is equal to <em>192 in³</em>.

Write the standard form of the line that contains a y-intercept of -3 and passes through the point (3, 0). Include your work in
mina [271]
We have two points, (3,0) and (0,-3).  So we can find the slope of the line:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(-3-0)/(0-3)

m=-3/-3

m=1  so far for the line y=mx+b we have:

y=x+b, b is the y intercept which we were told is -3 so

y=x-3

The above is called the slope-intercept form of a line, y=mx+b, the standard form of a line is ax+by=c, so we need to get both variables on one side of the equation..

y=x-3  subtract x from both sides

-x+y=-3

While the above may be acceptable to some, technically the coefficient of x should be expressed as a positive value, so we should divide the above "solution" by -1 to get:

x-y=3

Smoothing a time series of observations A. is a form of statistical cheating. B. allows statisticians to use less data than woul
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

D. is used to reveal an underlying pattern in the data.

Step-by-step explanation:

Smoothing a time series is achieved when a computer uses some pre-programmed calculation methods to remove noise from large volumes of data. Smoothing helps a user detect patterns in a set of data, thus making it possible to make future predictions. For example, smoothing can be used in the prediction of the rise and fall of stock prices. This helps the traders to have an idea of what to expect in the cost of trading.

Although smoothing reveals the patterns in a set of data, it provides no explanation as to why it is so. It is left to the researcher to draw conclusions as to the reasons for the patterns.

To solve y and x, I am adding a picture
Viktor [21]

Answer:

x =\sqrt 5

y = \sqrt{5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached triangle

Required

Solve for x

Considering angle 45 degrees, we have:

\cos(45) = \frac{y}{\sqrt{10}} --- cosine formula i.e. adj/hyp

Solve for y

y = \sqrt{10} * \cos(45)

In radical form, we have:

y = \sqrt{10} * \frac{1}{\sqrt 2}

y = \sqrt{10/2}

y = \sqrt{5

To solve for x, we make use of Pythagoras theorem

x^2 + y^2 = (\sqrt{10})^2

x^2 + y^2 =10

Substitute for y

x^2 + (\sqrt 5)^2 =10

x^2 + 5 =10

Collect like terms

x^2  =10-5

x^2=   5

Solve for x

x =\sqrt 5

Here are the vertices of rectangle FROG: (-2,5),(-2,1),(6,5),(6,1). Find the perimeter of this rectangle. If you get stuck, try
ryzh [129]

Answer:

Part 1) The perimeter of rectangle is equal to 24 units

Part 2) The area of rectangle is equal to 32 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Find the perimeter of rectangle

we know that

The perimeter of rectangle is equal to

P=2(L+W)

where

L is the length of rectangle

W is the width of rectangle

we have

F(-2,5),R(-2,1),O(6,1),G(6,5)

Plot the figure to better understand the problem

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure

Remember that in a rectangle opposite sides are congruent and the measure of each interior angle is equal to 90 degrees

so

FG=RO=L\\RF=OG=W

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}

step 1

Find the distance FG

F(-2,5),G(6,5)

substitute the values

d=\sqrt{(5-5)^{2}+(6+2)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(0)^{2}+(8)^{2}}

FG=8\ units

step 2

Find the distance RF

R(-2,1),F(-2,5)

substitute the values

d=\sqrt{(5-1)^{2}+(-2+2)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(4)^{2}+(0)^{2}}

RF=4\ units

step 3

Find the perimeter

P=2(L+W)

we have

FG=RO=L=8\ units\\RF=OG=W=4\ units

substitute

P=2(8+4)=24\ units

Part 2) Find the area of rectangle FROG

we know that

The area of rectangle is equal to

A=LW

we have

FG=RO=L=8\ units\\RF=OG=W=4\ units

substitute

A=(8)(4)=32\ units^2
