Volume of a quadrangular pyramid=(1/3)bh
b=base
h=height
b=area of the base=area of a square=8.4 ft * 8.4 ft=70.56 ft²
Pythagoras theorem:
hypotenuse²=leg₁² + leg₂²
data:
hypotenuse=9.6 ft
leg₁=height=h
leg₂=8.4 ft /2=4.2 ft
(9.6 ft)²= h² + (4.2 ft)²
92.16 ft²=h²+17.64 ft²
h²=92.16 ft²-17.64 ft²
h²=74.52 ft²
h=√(74.52 ft²)=8.63 ft.
Volume of this quadrangular pyramid=(1/3)(70.56 ft²)(8.63 ft)=202.9 ft³≈202.3 ft³
Answer: ≈202.3 ft³
Answer: 13.60 gallons divide 355 by 17 to get the base miles per gallon then use that and divide it 284 by 20.88
Step-by-step explanation:
◆ Define the variables:
Let the calorie content of Candy A = a
and the calorie content of Candy B = b
◆ Form the equations:
One bar of candy A and two bars of candy B have 774 calories. Thus:
a + 2b = 774
Two bars of candy A and one bar of candy B contains 786 calories
2a + b = 786
◆ Solve the equations:
From first equation,
a + 2b = 774
=> a = 774 - 2b
Put a in second equation
2×(774-2b) + b = 786
=> 2×774 - 2×2b + b = 786
=> 1548 - 4b + b = 786
=> -3b = 786 - 1548
=> -3b = -762
=> b = -762/(-3) = 254 calorie
◆ Find caloric content:
Caloric content of candy B = 254 calorie
Caloric content of candy A = a = 774 - 2b = 774 - 2×254 = 774 - 508 = 266 calorie
