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.

Well, if Sameer's plum was 32 calories, and we know his total snack was 56 calories, all we have to do is:

56-32=24

24 / 4 = 6

Sameer ate one plum (32Kcal) and 6 strawberries (4Kcal each)

AB is tangent to C. I need to find the value of r.
serious [3.7K]
Tangent always meets radius at 90° angle.

Angle ABC = 90° so Pythagoras' theorem applies.

r² + 4² = (r+2)²
r² + 16 = r² + 4r + 4
12 = 4r
r = 3
