Volume of Big Pyramid= 324 cubic feet

Volume of small pyramid= 12

Volume of a pyramid is given as V=⅓xBasexheight

For the big pyramid

324=⅓xbasexheight

But 324= 27x12

Then for the big pyramid,

12=1/3x1/27xbasexheight

For the small pyramid

12=1/3xbasex6

Since both base are similar and from the equations derived so far

1/3x1/27xheight=1/3x6

Height=27x3x1/3x6=162feet

a box half full of apples weighs 40kg and the same box one fifth full weighs 22kg. what does the box weigh when empty?

likoan [24]

So in order to answer your question we calculate 40 - 22 wich gives us the answer of 18, so now we can say that 4/5 of apples weight 18 so now 18 / 4 = 4,5; 4,5 * 5 = 22,5 wich is the weight of apples you can put in the box, to know the answer we deduct the greatest weight of apples only from the weight of the box with those apples so, 40 - 22,5 = 17,5
so the answer to your question is 17,5

Solve for x and find m∠FGH

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

x° = 11°

Z FGI = 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

If GH bisects Z FGI

then Z FGH = Z HGI

  or, (3x - 3)° = (4x - 14)°

or, 3x° - 4x° = - 14° + 3°

or, x° = 11°

Z FGI = 33° - 3° + 44° - 14°

 =  60°
