Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can represent each ratio as a fraction, then use the cross products property to find the value of x.

\frac{3}{12} = \frac{x}{16}  \\\\\\16\cdot3=48\\\\48\div12=4

Hope this helped!

Which is the slant height of the pyramid if Helen uses all the clay
Digiron [165]
First, find the height of the pyramid using the volume formula.
Then use the Pythagorean theorem to find the slant height.

V = (1/3)Ah

48 = (1/3)(6^2)h

144 = 36h

h = 4

Since the side of the base is 6 in., half the side is 3 in.
The height of the pyramid is 4 in.
Call the slant height S.

3^2 + 4^2 = S^2

9 + 16 = S^2

25 = S^2

S = 5

Answer: The slant height is 5 in.
