At the end of a snow storm, Riley saw there was a lot of snow on her front lawn. The temperature increased and the snow began to
melt at a steady rate. The depth of snow on Riley's lawn, in inches, can be modeled by the equation S = 13 – t, where t is the time, in hours, after the snow stopped falling. What is the x-intercept of the equation and what is its interpretation in the context of the problem?
How To Find Volume of Pyramid With Slant Height? If 'x' is the base length, 's' is the slant height, and 'h' is the height of a regular pyramid, then they satisfy the equation (the Pythagoras theorem) (x/2)2 + h2 = s2.
