Area of square base = 324 m²

Length of the square side = √324 = 18

The side of the square is the base of the triangle.

Area of triangle = (1/2)*base* height

135 = (1/2)*18* h

135 = 9h

135/9 = h

15 = h

height = 15 m


To get the height of the Pyramid, the height of the Triangle and half the length of the side of the square form a right angled triangle.

Hypotenus = 15
Half length of square = 18/2 = 9
Height of Pyramid = H

By Pythagoras' Theorem:

15² = H² + 9²

225 =H² + 81

 H² + 81 = 225

H²  = 225 - 81

H²  = 144          Take square root of both sides

H  = √144

H = 12

Height = 12 meters.

Option C.

alexgriva [62]

I belive this is the answer

x³ = 27/125; and

x = 3/5.

explanation:

Reducing the voltage 3 times would result in multiplying the unknown voltage, x, by itself 3 times; this gives us

x³.

The current voltage is 27/125; this gives us the equation

x³ = 27/125.

To solve this, take the cubed root of both sides:

∛(x³) = ∛(27/125)

x = (∛27)/(∛125)

x = (∛(3*3*3))/(∛(5*5*5))

x = 3/5

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

B) 628.32 cm cubed

Step-by-step explanation:

we know the formula to find the volume of a cylinder is π*r^2*h

where r is the radius and h is the height.

the equation would look like this

π*5^2*8

π*25*8

π*200

628.32 cm
