Nathan has a sculpture in the shape of a pyramid. The height of the sculpture is 3 centimeters less than the side length, x, of

its square base. Nathan uses the formula for the volume of a pyramid to determine the dimensions of the sculpture:
Here, a is the side length of the pyramid’s square base and h is its height.

If 162 cubic centimeters of clay were used to make the sculpture, the equation x3 +
x2 +
= 0 can be used to find that the length of the sculpture’s base is
centimeters.

Let
x-----------> <span>the side length of a pyramid square base
h-----------> t</span>he height of the sculpture <span>in the shape of a pyramid

we know that
h=(x-3)
Volume=162 cm</span>³
Volume=x² *(x-3)/3
then
x² *(x-3)/3=162----------> x³-3x²=486----------> x³-3x²-486=0
x³-3x²-486=0-------- <span>this equation can be used to find the length of the sculpture’s base 

using a graph tool-----------> </span>to find the solution
x=9 cm -------------> see the attached figure
h=(x-3)-----> h=9-3--------> h=6 cm

the answer is
<span>the length of the sculpture’s base is 9 cm
</span>the height of the sculpture is 6 cm

Which of these frequency counts would be represented by the tallest bar on a histogram?
Taya2010 [7]
A histogram is a representation of data similar to bar graph but histogram represents the frequency counts on continuous data having the shape of a rectangle. The width of the rectangle represents the interval of the data while the height represents the frequency count. The tallest bar (rectangle shape) on these frequency counts would be 22.

Whitney earns $180.50 for 25 hours of work how much does Whitney earn per hour
UkoKoshka [18]
If we do $180.50 / 25, we get $7.22. This is how we find a unit rate. With this $7.22, it represents 1 per hour, (aka the starting rate), so Whitney earns $7.22 an hour.
