Answer:

The new pyramid has a volume that is 8 times the volume of the original pyramid

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal to the scale factor and the ratio of its volumes is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube

Let

z ----> the scale factor

V_1 -----> volume of the original pyramid

V_2 -----> volume of the new pyramid

$z^{3}=\frac{V_2}{V_1}$

In this problem we have that each of the dimensions of the original pyramid are doubled

$z=2$

substitute

$2^{3}=\frac{V_2}{V_1}$

$8=\frac{V_2}{V_1}$

$V_2=8V_1$

therefore

The volume of the new pyramid is 8 times the volume of the original pyramid

What is the midpoint of the segment

Solnce55 [7]

(-3,4)(-6,-1)

The easy way

look at the y's = 4 and -1 the difference is 5 now /2 = 2.5

so the y midpoint is 2.5 from each point or 1.5

look at the x's = -3 and -6 the differebce is 3 now /2 = 1.5

so its 1.5 from each point or -4.5

so midpoint is (-4.5, 1.5) or (-9/2, 3/2) or C

the formula way:

for x

x1+x2/2

-3+-6/2

-9/2 (which is -4.5)

for y

y1+y2/2

4+-1/2

3/2 (which is 1.5)

Solve the following problems using 5-D process part 2

svet-max [94.6K]

The two problems are almost identical: you have to set up a system, and then solve it.

In the first case, let $g$ and $b$ be, respectively, the number of girls and boys.

We know that $g=2b+4$ (the number of girls in the Spanish Club is four more than twice the number of boys). Also, we know that $g+b=61$ (there are 61 students in total).
