we know that
the volume of a solid oblique pyramid is equal to
where
B is the area of the base
h is the height of the pyramid
in this problem we have that
B is a square
where
<u></u>
so
substitute in the formula of volume
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
<u>Given</u>:
Given that the triangles ABD and CAD are similar.
The length of AB is 12.
The length of BD is x.
The length of AC is 27.
We need to determine the value of x.
<u>Value of x:</u>
Let us use the leg rule to determine the value of x.
Thus, we have;
Substituting the values, we get;
Cross multiplying, we get;
Dividing both sides by 27, we have;
Thus, the value of x is
Hence, Option D is the correct answer.
