a)
Check the picture below.
b)
volume wise, we know the smaller pyramid is 1/8 th of the whole pyramid, so the volume of the whole pyramid must be 8/8 th.
Now, if we take off 1/8 th of the volume of whole pyramid, what the whole pyramid is left with is 7/8 th of its total volume, and that 7/8 th is the truncated part, because the 1/8 we chopped off from it, is the volume of the tiny pyramid atop.
Now, what's the ratio of the tiny pyramid to the truncated bottom?
15% x
100 1.15 X is your variable, your unknown number and 15% has to always be over 100 , Then you have to cross multiply and divide 100 because that is the only number basically you have to just multiply across and divide 100 to make it to the nearest cent you have to round the last two numbers after the decimal Representing money.. Hope this helps!!
The answer is 720 mph, since we make time the x and distance y. We use the slope formula (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
(179-23)/(17-4)
156 miles/13 mins
12 miles per min
Since the answer is in hours instead of minutes, we multiply 12 by 60 to get 720 mph
