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.

since A = 1/2 b h, and the A is 279 and the height is 18, we can plug them in and solve for b.

It looks easy but I kinda don't understand the graph ​
Mariana [72]

neverminding the dots or points on the line, we can see that the line is using a solid stroke, is a solid line, as opposed to a dashed one.

A solid line means, "the borderline is included in the inequality", so that means either ⩾ or ⩽, depending on how you'd write the expression.

so we can say

y ⩽ "some expression in x-terms here"

or we can say

"some expression in x-terms here" ⩾ y

basically the same thing.

the cat is red

and

red is the cat

same thing, depends on how you write it.

-10=-4/5y+6<br> Can you help me solve this and show work
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
Multiply everything by 5:

5(-10)=5(-4/5y+6)

Then solve:

-30=-4y+30

Then subtract 30 from both sides:

-60=4y

Then divide:

15=y
