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 length of a rectangle is twice its width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 15 inches. What are the measurements of the leng
Airida [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the breadth (b) of a rectangle be x

Then Length (L) = 2x

Now

Perimeter of the rectangle = 15 inches

Or, 2(L + b) = 15

2 ( 2x + x) = 15

2* 3x = 15

6x = 15

x = 15 / 6

x = 2.5 inch

Also Now

Length (L) = 2*2.5 = 5 inches

Breadth (b) = 2.5 inches

Hope it will help :)

Fill in the blank. Given O below, you can conclude that OD is congruent to ___________.
Debora [2.8K]

The circle with center O has two chords AC and EF which are of same length 9.07.

OD and OB are the two perpendiculars drawn from the center O to the two chords AC and EF .It represents the distance of the chords from the centre.

The circle theorem states: congruent chords are equidistant from the center.

OD is congruent to OB.

One time payment, <em>p </em>= $300

Payment per month, <em>q = </em>$65

Number of months paid, <em>n</em> = 5

The objectiv is to find the amount she paid in 5 months.

Let <em>x </em>be the amount she paid in 5 months. Then the the formula is,

x=p+nq

Let's substitute the values.

\begin{gathered} x=300+5(65) \\ x=300+325 \\ x=625 \end{gathered}

Hence, total amount paid in 5 months is $625.
