Answer:

  B.  15 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a pyramid is given by the formula ...

  V = (1/3)Bh

where B represents the area of the base, and h represents the height.

The base is apparently a rectangle, so its area is the product of its length and width:

  B = L·W = (4.5 ft)(4 ft) = 18 ft^2

Then the volume is ...

  V = (1/3)(18 ft^2)(2.5 ft) = 15 ft^3

15 cubic feet of sand will be needed to fill the base.

Remove the parenthesis and combine the like terms:

84x - 65x = 19x

-69y - 34y = -103y

Combine for final answer:

What equation represents the model shown below?
g100num [7]

Given:

The algebra tiles of an equation.

To find:

The equation represented by the given model.

Solution:

On the left side of the model we have 4 tiles of (-x) and 3 tiles of (-1). So,

LHS=(-x)+(-x)+(-x)+(-x)+(-1)+(-1)+(-1)

LHS=-4x+(-3)

LHS=-4x-3

On the right side of the model we have 8 tiles of (-1). So,

RHS=(-1)+(-1)+(-1)+(-1)+(-1)+(-1)+(-1)+(-1)

RHS=-8

Now, equate the LHS and RHS to get the equation.

-4x-3=-8

Therefore, the equation for the given model is -4x-3=-8.
