Answer:

First piece = 6 inches

Second piece = 12 inches

Third piece = 18 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the first piece = x

Length of the second piece = 2x

Length of the third piece = 3x

Total length is 36 inches:

x + 2x + 3x = 36

6x = 36

x = 6

Therefore, the lengths are:

First piece = 6 inches

Second piece = 12 inches

Third piece = 18 inches

The slant height is used to find the volume of a square pyramid. true or false
alexandr1967 [171]
The answer is false.

For a square pyramid, the volume is calculated by 1/3*B*h. The height should touch the tip and lie perpendicular to the base. Slant height is used for surface area, not volume.
