Answer:
<em>The volume of pyramid B is 64 times the volume of pyramid A.</em>
<em></em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Two square pyramids A and B.
Side Length of A,
12 inches
Height of A,
8 inches
Side Length of B,
48 inches
Height of B,
32 inches
To find:
How many times bigger is the volume of pyramid B than pyramid A?
OR
is how many times bigger than
?
Solution:
First of all, let us have a look at the formula for volume of a pyramid:

Here, base is square, so:

Volume of pyramid A:


Volume of pyramid B:


<em>The volume of pyramid B is 64 times the volume of pyramid A.</em>
This is a compound interest problem so you cannot use the simple interest formula. Effectively the total amount is being compounded each year by 6%. There is a formula for compound interest but in this simple example you can work this out recursively.
year 1 = 6500
year2 = 6500*1.06 = 6890
year3 = 6890*1.06 = 7303
year4 = 7303*1.06 = 7741..
etc......
year12 = 11604*1.06 = 12338
Here, just add the coefficients. 3x + 3x = 6x.
Answer: 19,11,17 and 13,22,14
Step-by-step explanation:
The two smallest numbers (11, 17) added together must be a bigger number than the biggest number (19)...... 11 + 17 = 28
28> 19 :)
