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 equation we use here is:
(0.85)x +(1.00)y = (0.94)(x + y)
x is for the number of games he played on first day, y is the games on second day. The coefficients are the decimal form of percentages.

Simplify:
0.85x + y = 0.94x + 0.94y \\ \\ 0.06y = 0.09x \\ \\ \frac{6y}{100} = \frac{9x}{100} \\ \\ 6y = 9x \\ \\ 2y = 3x

To find x we need to use the ratio. We have 85/100 as the first day's ratio and because the games needs to be whole, we can simplify this as 17/20. So in first day, he played at least 20 games and won 17 of them.

When we plug the 20 into the equation as x:
2y = 3 \times 20 \\ \\ 2y = 60 \\ \\ y = 30
So he needs to play at least 30 games in order to get his score to 94%.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Three faces are equal triangles with:</u>

  • base = 8 units, height = 6 ft

<u>The base is a triangle with:</u>

  • base = 8 ft, height = 6.9 ft

<u>Surface area is sum of areas of 4 faces:</u>

  • S = 3*(1/2*8*6) + 1/2*8*6.9 = 99.6 ft²
