What is the scale factor of two similar pyramids with volume of 13824 cubic feel and 216 cubic feet?

Mathematics

Answer: The scale factor is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the pyramids are similar. The volume of one of these pyramids is  13,824 cubic feet and the volume of the other one is 216 cubic feet. Then:

V_1=13,824ft^3\\V_2=216ft^3

By Similar solids theorem, if two similar solids have a scale factor of \frac{a}{b}, then corresponding volumes have a ratio of \frac{a^3}{b^3}

Then:

\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{a^3}{b^3}

Knowing this, we can find the scale factor. This is:

\frac{13,824}{216}=\frac{a^3}{b^3}\\\\\frac{13,824}{216}=(\frac{a}{b})^3\\\\\frac{a}{b}=\sqrt[3]{\frac{13,824}{216}}\\\\scale\ factor=\frac{a}{b}=4

KiRa [710]

Answer:

21.5 Miles or 21 ½ Miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in 7 as m to 3m + ½.

Then, I get 3(7) + ½.

That concludes to 21 + ½

Add the ".5" or "½" at the end

So, answer is you get is 21.5 of 21 ½

What is the volume of the cone below?
Serjik [45]

Answer:

B. 264π units³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the cone = ⅓πr²h

Where,

r = 6

h = 22

Plug in the values

Volume = ⅓×π×6²×22

Volume = ⅓×π×36×22

Volume = 264π units³

Serggg [28]

Answer:

I'm in eight grade so don't assume i'm right. But from looking at this. It looks like x-1=8 and y+1= 28. I'm only doing High School Math 1 in eight grade tho. So if i'm wrong i'm sorry
