For her presentation on the Wonders of the World, Mary baked a square pyramid-shaped cake as pictured below. The slant height of

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

$V=196in^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a pyramid is:

$V=\frac{A_{b}h}{3}$

where $A_{b}$ is the area of the base and $h$ is the height (the perpendicular measurement between base and highest point, not the slant height)

Since the base is a square, the area is given by:

$A_{b}=l^2$

where $l$ is the length of the side: $l=8in$ , thus:

$A_{b}=(8in)^2\\A_{b}=64in^2$

Now we need to find the height, for this we use the right triangle that forms with half of a square side (8in/2 = 4in), the slant height (10in), and the height.

In this right triangle, the slant height is the hypotenuse, the leg 1 is the unknown height, and leg 2 is half of the square side.

Using pythagoras:

$hypotenuse^2=leg1^2+leg2^2$

substituting our values, and indicating that leg 1 is height h:

$(10in)^2=h^2+(4in)^2$

$100in^2=h^2+16in^2$

and solving for the height:

$h^2=100in^2-16in^2\\h^2=84in^2\\h=\sqrt{84in^2}\\ h=9.165in$

and finally we calculate the volume using this height and the area of the base:

$V=\frac{A_{b}h}{3}$

$V=\frac{(64in^2)(9.165in)}{3} \\V=195.5in^3$

rounding to the nearest cubic inch: $V=196in^3$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

and

, so this equation can also be written as

(

)

Since the bases are now the same, we can equate exponents to get

so that

(technically this equating of exponents requires the fact that exponential functions (with base not equal to 1) are one-to-one functions).
