Answer:
B. 588 inches cubed.
Step-by-step explanation:
the pyramid base with 2inch height = 392 - 14 x 14 = 196 = 392-196 = 196
the pyramid with 9 inch height = 588.25 = 14 x 14 = 196 the adjoined upper base.
= 588.25 - 196 = 392.25 + 196 = 588^3 (inches cubed ) we only needed one base structure
We check the slant = (1/2)base = 7 then divide 392.25/7 = 56.0357142857/4
Then divide by 4 = 56.0357142857/4 = 14 and we know the slant is also 14.
We can find the isosceles central height and know it will be the smaller measure as it always is, using 14^2 - 7^2 = a^2
= 196sr - 49sr = 47sr
a^2 = √47 = 6.8556546004
So we know the diagram isn't to scale.
The equation of a rectangle pyramid =
A=lw+√l (w2)
2+√ 2+w
(l2)2+√ h2
The base is l*w*h - l*l = 392-196
or l*w + 4* h*w =196
