Answer:
x = 3
y = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
If △XPS ≅△DNF, their corresponding sides would be congruent. This implies that:
XP ≅ DN
PS ≅ NF
XS ≅ DF
Given that:
XP = 4y - 3
DN = 57
NF = 51
XS = 17x + 3
DF = 54
Therefore:
XP = DN
4y - 3 = 57 (Substitution)
Add 3 to both sides
4y = 57 + 3
4y = 60
Divide both sides by 4
y = 60/4
y = 15
Also,
XS = DF
17x + 3 = 54 (substitution)
Subtract 3 from each side
17x = 54 - 3
17x = 51
Divide both sides by 17
x = 51/17
x = 3
To solve, we use the volume of a square pyramid formula which is expressed as the product of the area of the base (a²) and the height divided by three(h/3).
Volume = a² (h/3)
1024 in³ = (a²) (12 in/3)
a² = 1024 in³ · 3 /12
a = √256 in²
a = 16 in
Thus, the length of the base is 16 in.
X = -1/4
Move the 1 to the other side then divide by 4 on both sides
