If the coefficient matrix has a pivot in each column, it means that it is shaped like this:
![A=\left[\begin{array}{cccc}a_{1,1}&a_{1,2}&a_{1,3}&a_{1,4}\\0&a_{2,2}&a_{2,3}&a_{2,4}\\0&0&a_{3,3}&a_{3,4}\\0&0&0&a_{4,4}\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcccc%7Da_%7B1%2C1%7D%26a_%7B1%2C2%7D%26a_%7B1%2C3%7D%26a_%7B1%2C4%7D%5C%5C0%26a_%7B2%2C2%7D%26a_%7B2%2C3%7D%26a_%7B2%2C4%7D%5C%5C0%260%26a_%7B3%2C3%7D%26a_%7B3%2C4%7D%5C%5C0%260%260%26a_%7B4%2C4%7D%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
So, the correspondant system

will look like this:
![\left[\begin{array}{cccc}a_{1,1}&a_{1,2}&a_{1,3}&a_{1,4}\\0&a_{2,2}&a_{2,3}&a_{2,4}\\0&0&a_{3,3}&a_{3,4}\\0&0&0&a_{4,4}\end{array}\right]\cdot \left[\begin{array}{c}x_1\\x_2\\x_3\\x_4\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{c}b_1\\b_2\\b_3\\b_4\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcccc%7Da_%7B1%2C1%7D%26a_%7B1%2C2%7D%26a_%7B1%2C3%7D%26a_%7B1%2C4%7D%5C%5C0%26a_%7B2%2C2%7D%26a_%7B2%2C3%7D%26a_%7B2%2C4%7D%5C%5C0%260%26a_%7B3%2C3%7D%26a_%7B3%2C4%7D%5C%5C0%260%260%26a_%7B4%2C4%7D%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%5Ccdot%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bc%7Dx_1%5C%5Cx_2%5C%5Cx_3%5C%5Cx_4%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bc%7Db_1%5C%5Cb_2%5C%5Cb_3%5C%5Cb_4%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
This turn into the following system of equations:

The last equation is solvable for
: we easily have

Once the value for
is known, we can solve the third equation for
:

(recall that
is now known)
The pattern should be clear: you can use the last equation to solve for
. Once it is known, the third equation involves the only variable
. Once
It is just 4 x 4 for each and everyside
Answer:
<h2>
7.8</h2>
Option A is the correct option.

Hope this helps...
Good luck on your assignment
Answer: 24ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The exercise gives you the following formula:
Where "h" is the height of the square pyramid and "x" is the length of one side of the base.
According to the data given, you know that:
Therefore, you can subsitute these values into the formula:
Now, you need to solve for the "x" to calculate the length of one side of the square base of that pyramid.
