Answer:

h = 6 units

Zhang major error is that he did not express the formula for finding the volume of a square base pyramid properly well. The formula was suppose to be 1/3 × base area × height. He omitted the 1/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The square base pyramid has a base length of 9  and width of 9 . It is a square base pyramid so definitely the length of the base will be equal. The volume of the square base pyramid is given as 162 .

The formula for the volume of a square base pyramid is represented as follows.

volume = 1/3Ah

where

A = base area

h = height

volume = 1/3Ah

Base area = L²

Base area = 9² = 81

volume = 162 units²

volume = 1/3 ×  81 × h

162 = 1/3 × 81 × h

162 = 27h

divide both sides by h

h = 162/27

h = 6 units

He omitted the 1/3 for the formula of the volume of a square base pyramid.

How do you rename a mixed number as a fraction khan academy.
elena-s [515]

Answer:

There's no answer choices but I can give you an example.  

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Let's say you have \frac{25}{4}.  
  2. Think about what the closest whole number 25/4 will give you.  Since 24 and 25 are close you can do 24/4 and get 6.  
  3. Now since you took one number away from the 25 you have a remainder.  
  4. Since the denominator is 4 your final answer would be 6\frac{1}{4}.  

Hopefully this helps.
