Answer:
% increase = 200%
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you have two angles that measure 45 degrees. Those 2 equal 90 degrees altogether. Since a triangle measures 180 degrees, you take 180-90 because you already have 2 angles and are trying to find the last one. Then this makes the last angle 90 degrees.
The volume is multiplied by 8. For example if you have a 1x1x1 cube the volume is 1. If you have a 2x2x2 cube the volume is 8. If you have a 4x4x4 the volume is 64.
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a pyramid is one third the height times the area of the base.
V = ⅓ h A
The base is a square, so the area is the width times length.
V = ⅓ h wl
Problem is, we don't know the height, only the slant length. But we can use this to find the height.
If we cut a cross section down the middle of the pyramid, we get an isosceles triangle. The base of the triangle is 24, and the legs are 37.
If we cut this triangle in half, we get two right triangles. Each right triangle has a base of 12 and a hypotenuse of 37.
Now we can use Pythagorean theorem to find the height of the triangle, which is also the height of the pyramid.
c² = a² + b²
37² = 12² + h²
h = 35
Now we can find the volume. h = 35, w = 24, and l = 24:
V = ⅓ h wl
V = ⅓ (35) (24) (24)
V = 6720
So the volume is 6720 ft³, or answer A.
