Answer: a = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a square based pyramid is given as

$\frac{a^{2}h }{3}$ .

where a is the length of the side and h is the height.

Substituting into the formula , we have

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

128 = $a^{2}h$ /3

384= $a^{2}$ X 6

Divide through by 6

384/6 = $a^{2}$

64 = $a^{2}$

Therefore :

a = $\sqrt{\frac{64}{1} }$

a = 8

A carton measures 3 feet by 2 feet by 2 feet. A machine can fill the carton with packing material in 3 seconds. How long would i

True [87]

1) we calculate the volume of the first carton:
volume=length x width x height
volume=3 ft * 2 ft * 2 ft=12 ft³

Therefore:
A machine can fill 12 ft³ in 3 seconds.

2) we calculate the volume of the second carton.
volume=length x width x heigth
volume=4 ft * 5 ft * 6 ft=120 ft³

3) we calculate the time that the machine needs for fill the second carton with packing material by the rule of three.

12 ft³---------------------3 seconds
120 ft³-------------------- x

x=(120 ft³ * 3 seconds) / 12 ft³=30 seconds.

answer: 30 seconds.

I turn my dial on my stove 45degrees from the start position if i continue to turn the dial, how many degrees further will i nww

AveGali [126]

Answer:

315 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the dial is a perfect circle and therefore makes a full 360 degree rotation. If the dial is already turned 45 degrees, the rotation angle required to return all the way to the initial position is:

$A = 360 - 45\\A=315\ degrees$
