Given :

The foci of hyperbola are (8,0) and (-8,0) .

The difference of the focal radii = 6.

To Find :

The equation of the hyperbola.

Solution :

We know, distance between foci is given by :

2c = 8 - (-8)

c = 8

Also, difference between the foci or focal distance is given by :

2a = 6

a = 3

Now, we know for hyperbola :

b^2 +a^2 = c^2\\\\b^2={c^2-a^2}\\\\b^2 = 64-9\\\\b^2 = 55

General equation of hyperbola is :

\dfrac{x^2}{a^2}+\dfrac{y^2}{b^2}=1\\\\\dfrac{x^2}{9}+ \dfrac{y^2}{55}=1

Hence, this is the required solution.

Which expression represents the volume of the pyramid? One-fifth(5.2)h cm3 StartFraction 1 Over 5 h EndFraction(5.2)h cm3 One-th
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

1/3(5.2)h cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

A solid right pyramid has a regular hexagonal base with an area of 5.2 cm2 and a height of h cm. Which expression represents the volume of the pyramid?

One-fifth(5.2)h cm3 StartFraction 1 Over 5 h EndFraction(5.2)h cm3

One-third(5.2)h cm3 StartFraction 1 Over 3 h EndFraction(5.2)h cm3

Volume of the pyramid = 1/3 × area × height

Area = 5.2 cm²

Height = h cm

Volume of the pyramid = 1/3 × 5.2 cm² × h cm

= 1/3(5.2)h cm³
