Okay one moment i will have the answer soon...
You are given two points on a line, and told that the function is "direct variation." You can save a lot of time by recognizing that the y-intercept here is zero (0). Thus, the line passes through the origin.
A line through (2,14) and (4,38) is NOT direct variation, because the line connecting those two points does NOT pass through the origin, and thus has a vertical intercept.
We need to find the triangular pyramid formula which is 1/3*B*H
The base is always the bottom or foundation. To find this we need the area of the triangle at the bottom.
It is 8*6/2 or base times height divided by 2
We would get 24
This is our B value. Now height is 4 in they give us this.
Plug it in 24*4/3
We get 32 inches
