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.

The table shows the cost of hiring a plumber for the first 3 hours of a job.
Helen [10]

Answer: it's A

Step-by-step explanation:

since the cost for hiring a plumber for three hours costs $120 so in graph A the graph has more likely stopped at $120 on the y axis which can be said as the cost axis too. I'm pretty sure the answer is A!

In the accompanying diagram of parallelogram ABCD, LaTeX: m\angle A=x+17 m ∠ A = x + 17 and LaTeX: m\angle C=2x-4 m ∠ C = 2 x −
jek_recluse [69]
Answer:
x = 21

Explanation:
In a parallelogram, each two opposite angles are equal.

In the given parallelogram ABCD, we can note that angles A and C are opposite angles. This means that they have equal measures.

Therefore:
∠A = ∠C
x + 17 = 2x - 4
17 + 4 = 2x - x
x = 21

We can check:
angle A = 21 + 17 = 38°
angle C = 2(21) - 4 = 38°
They are equal

Hope this helps :)
