What is the volume of the square pyramid with the base edges 24 ft and height

Mathematics

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a pyramid is one third the height times the area of the base.

V = ⅓ h A

The base is a square, so the area is the width times length.

V = ⅓ h wl

Problem is, we don't know the height, only the slant length.  But we can use this to find the height.

If we cut a cross section down the middle of the pyramid, we get an isosceles triangle.  The base of the triangle is 24, and the legs are 37.

If we cut this triangle in half, we get two right triangles.  Each right triangle has a base of 12 and a hypotenuse of 37.

Now we can use Pythagorean theorem to find the height of the triangle, which is also the height of the pyramid.

c² = a² + b²

37² = 12² + h²

h = 35

Now we can find the volume.  h = 35, w = 24, and l = 24:

V = ⅓ h wl

V = ⅓ (35) (24) (24)

V = 6720

So the volume is 6720 ft³, or answer A.

If a questiong does not tell you to answer in terms of pi do you round
Wittaler [7]
Yes, most likely. You may also find it helpful to plug the pi symbol along with your answer into your (scientific) calculator as it will give you a more accurate response.

Santiago receives ​$179
Mashutka [201]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • $400 at 2%
  • $900 at 3%
  • $3600 at 4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount invested at 3%. Then (x -500) is the amount invested at 2%, and 4x is the amount invested at 4%. The total interest income is ...

  0.02(x -500) + 0.03x + 0.04(4x) = 179

  0.21x -10 = 179 . . . . . simplify

  0.21x = 189 . . . . . . . . add 10

  x = 900 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.21

  x -500 = 400

  4x = 3600

$400 is invested at 2%; $900 is invested at 3%, $3600 is invested at 4%.
