Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Mary's age = x years

John's age = 2 * x = 2x

The sum of their ages = 21

x + 2x = 21

3x = 21

Divide both sides by 3

x = 21/3

x = 7

Mary's age = 7 years

A solid right pyramid has a square base with an edge length of x cm and a height of y cm. Which expression represents the volume

solniwko [45]

Answer:

Thus, volume of pyramid = $\frac{1}{3}x^2y$ cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A solid right pyramid has a square base with an edge length of x cm and a height of y cm.

We have to choose from the given options an expression for the volume of the pyramid.

Volume of pyramid = $\frac{1}{3}\times Area\ of\ base \times height$

Since base is a square with edge length x cm.

Area of square = (side)² = x²

Thus, volume of pyramid = $\frac{1}{3}x^2y$ cm³
