The height of one solid limestone square pyramid is 21 m. A similar solid limestone square pyramid has a height of 30 m. The vol

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Part a) The scale factor of the smaller pyramid to the larger pyramid in simplest form is $\frac{7}{10}$

Part b) The ratio of the volume of the smaller pyramid to the larger pyramid is $\frac{343}{1,000}$

Part c) The volume of the smaller pyramid is $4,116\ m^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) The scale factor of the smaller pyramid to the larger pyramid in simplest form

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal and this ratio is called the scale factor

so

Let

z----> the scale factor

x----> the height of the smaller pyramid

y----> the height of the larger pyramid

$z=\frac{x}{y}$

substitute the values

$z=\frac{21}{30}$

Simplify

$z=\frac{7}{10}$ -----> scale factor in simplest form

Part b) Ratio of the volume of the smaller pyramid to the larger pyramid

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its volumes is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube

so

Let

z----> the scale factor

x----> the volume of the smaller pyramid

y----> the volume of the larger pyramid

$z^{3}=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$z=\frac{7}{10}$

substitute

$\frac{7}{10}^{3}=\frac{x}{y}$

Rewrite

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{343}{1,000}$ -----> ratio of the volume of the smaller pyramid to the larger pyramid

Part c) The volume of the smaller pyramid

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its volumes is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube

so

Let

z----> the scale factor

x----> the volume of the smaller pyramid

y----> the volume of the larger pyramid

$z^{3}=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$z=\frac{7}{10}$

$y=12,000\ m^{3}$

substitute the values and solve for x

$(\frac{7}{10})^{3}=\frac{x}{12,000}$

$x=\frac{343}{1,000}(12,000)=4,116\ m^{3}$

Warm Up

katrin [286]

Given the slope m and a point (a,b) of a line, its equation is given by

$y-b=m(x-a)$

In your case, a = -4, b = 7 and m=1/2, so we have

$y-7=\dfrac{1}{2}(x+4) \iff y=\dfrac{x}{2}+2+7\iff y=\dfrac{x}{2}+9$

20: 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180, 200

14: 14, 28, 42, 56, 70, 84, 98, 112, 126, 140

140 is the smallest number they have in common.

-3/v=-6 simply as much as possible

Aleksandr [31]

Hey!

In order to simplify this equation, we'll first have to multiply both sides of the equation by v. This will give us v on its own.

Original Equation :
$\frac{-3}{v} = -6$

New Equation {Added Multiply Both Sides by V} :
$\frac{-3}{v} v=-6v$

Solution {New Equation Solved} :
$-3 = -6v$

Now we'll switch sides to get v on the left side of the equation which is generally where we always want the variables to be located in these types of equations.

Old Equation :
$-3 = -6v$

New Equation {Switched} :
$-6v=-3$

Now we'll divide both sides by v to get v on its own.

Old Equation :
$-6v = -3$

New Equation {Added Divide Both Sides by V} :
$\frac{-6v}{v} = \frac{-3}{v}$

Solution {New Equation Solved} :
$v = \frac{1}{2}$

So, this means that in the equation $\frac{-3}{v} =-6$ , $v = \frac{1}{2}$ .

Hope this helps!
