You randomly draw a marble from a bag of marbles that contains 777 blue marbles, 222 green marbles, and 111 red marble. What is
\text{P(not draw a blue marble})P(not draw a blue marble)start text, P, left parenthesis, n, o, t, space, d, r, a, w, space, a, space, b, l, u, e, space, m, a, r, b, l, e, end text, right parenthesis?
Since the base of the pyramid PABCD is a rectangle, the shape in question is a rectangular based pyramid. Volume of a rectangular based pyramid is expressed as V = 1/3 * Base Area * Height of the pyramid.
Given a rectangle ABCD with AB = 8 and BC = 4, the area of the rectangle will be equivalent to the base area of the pyramid.
Base Area = Length * Breadth
Base Area = AB * BC
Base Area = 8*4 = 32
If, and PB = 17, then the height of the pyramid is PB = 17.
