The volume of a square pyramid is (1/3)(area of base)(height of pyramid).
Here the area of the base is (10 ft)^2 = 100 ft^2.
13 ft is the height of one of the triangular sides, but not the height of the pyramid. To find the latter, draw another triangle whose upper vertex is connected to the middle of one of the four equal sides of the base by a diagonal of length 13 ft. That "middle" is 5 units straight down from the upper vertex. Thus, you have a triangle with known hypotenuse (13 ft) and known opposite side 5 feet (half of 10 ft). What is the height of the pyramid?
To find this, use the Pyth. Thm.: (5 ft)^2 + y^2 = (13 ft)^2. y = 12 ft.
Then the vol. of the pyramid is (1/3)(area of base)(height of pyramid) =
(1/3)(100 ft^2)(12 ft) = 400 ft^3 (answer)

Answer:
A person in a group where 5 people are sharing 3 small bags of snickers
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of calories in one bag of snickers =x
Number of calories in 3 small bags of snickers =3x
- If 5 people share 3 small bags of snickers, 1 person's share
Number of calories in 2 small bags of snickers =2x
- If 7 people share 2 small bags of snickers, 1 person's share
We then compare the two.
Let x=1
Therefore, a person in a group where 5 people are sharing 3 small bags of snickers gets more calories.
"that were...."
