Answer:

The volume of pyramid B is 81 cubic units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

<u>Pyramid A</u>

s = 4 -- base sides

V = 36 -- Volume

<u>Pyramid B</u>

s = 6 --- base sides

Required

Determine the volume of pyramid B <em>[Missing from the question]</em>

From the question, we understand that both pyramids are equilateral triangular pyramids.

The volume is calculated as:

V = \frac{1}{3} * B * h

Where B represents the area of the base equilateral triangle, and it is calculated as:

B = \frac{1}{2} * s^2 * sin(60)

Where s represents the side lengths

First, we calculate the height of pyramid A

For Pyramid A, the base area is:

B = \frac{1}{2} * s^2 * sin(60)

B = \frac{1}{2} * 4^2 * \frac{\sqrt 3}{2}

B = \frac{1}{2} * 16 * \frac{\sqrt 3}{2}

B = 4\sqrt 3

The height is calculated from:

V = \frac{1}{3} * B * h

This gives:

36 = \frac{1}{3} * 4\sqrt 3 * h

Make h the subject

h = \frac{3 * 36}{4\sqrt 3}

h = \frac{3 * 9}{\sqrt 3}

h = \frac{27}{\sqrt 3}

To calculate the volume of pyramid B, we make use of:

V = \frac{1}{3} * B * h

Since the heights of both pyramids are the same, we can make use of:

h = \frac{27}{\sqrt 3}

The base area B, is then calculated as:

B = \frac{1}{2} * s^2 * sin(60)

Where

s = 6

So:

B = \frac{1}{2} * 6^2 * sin(60)

B = \frac{1}{2} * 36 * \frac{\sqrt 3}{2}

B = 9\sqrt 3

So:

V = \frac{1}{3} * B * h

Where

B = 9\sqrt 3 and h = \frac{27}{\sqrt 3}

V = \frac{1}{3} * 9\sqrt 3 * \frac{27}{\sqrt 3}

V = \frac{1}{3} * 9 * 27

V = 81

Suppose you buy 4 buckets of apples and 5 buckets of peaches for $64. If you bought 8
Sophie [7]

Option D is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Let A represent the cost of one bucket of apple and P represent the cost of one bucket of peaches.

So we have ,

4 buckets of apples and 5 buckets of peaches for $64

8  buckets of apples and 3 buckets of peaches for $72

Writing this in the equation form we have,

4A + 5P = 64

8A + 3P = 72

Step 2:

Solving for the above 2 equations we can get the required costs

Equation 1 is

4A + 5P = 64 , Multiplying this by 2 we have 8A + 10P = 128

Equation 2  = 8A + 3P = 72

Subtracting both we have , 7p = 56 = > P = 8

Substituting this in equation 1 we have

8A + 80 = 128 => A = 6

Hence the cost of one bucket of apple is $6 and the cost of one bucket of apple is $8.

Option D is the correct answer.
