The base of a pyramid has n sides.

1 answer:

8 0

A prism is a polyhedron comprising an n-sided polygonal base, a second base which is a translated copy (rigidly moved without rotation) of the first, and n other faces (necessarily all parallelograms) joining corresponding sides of the two bases (called lateral faces).

Hence:

1. if the base of a prism has n sides, then the prism has n lateral sides;

2. by the definition, a prism has 2 equal bases and from the first part it has n lateral faces that together form n+2 faces.

Plz help I'm really bad at these

GREYUIT [131]

Y = mx + b, where m = slope = rise/run and b, the y intercept value

m = 1/1 = 1, then y = x + b.
We notice that y intercept is = - 1
And the equation is:

y = x - 1

Answer:

1.03

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of a prism, find the area of the base and multiply it by the height.

The base is an octagon. The area is found $A = 2(1+\sqrt{2})a^2$ . Substitute a = 0.5.

$A = 2(1+\sqrt{2})(0.5^2)\\A = 4.828...(0.25)\\A = 1.21$

The volume is 1.21*2.5 = 3.025.

However, there are three holes drilled out half way which each have volume 0.06.

The volume is found as V = πr²h. Substitute r = 0.125 which is half the diameter of 0.25. Since they go half way, the height is h = 1.25.

V = π(0.125)²(1.25) = 0.06.

Since there are 3, they equal 3*0.06 = 0.18.

Subtract this from the volume.

1.21 - 0.18 = 1.03
