Answer:

A. option is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

since number of sides in first figure is 3

number of sides in second figure is 4

number of sides in third figure is 5

hence, number of sides in fourth figure must be 6

A. number of sides in this figure is 6

B. number of sides in this figure is 7

C. number of sides in this figure is 8

D. number of sides in this figure is 4

hence, option A. is correct

Pyramid A has a triangular base where each side measures 4 units and a volume of 36 cubic units. Pyramid B has the same height,

omeli [17]

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

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

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

$V = 81$

State the value of 'x' in this equation, and explain why you know this to be true without doing any calculations. 5X=59

Zigmanuir [339]

The value of x in the equation is 59/5

<h3>How to solve for x?</h3>

The equation is given as:

5x = 59

Divide both sides by 5

x = 59/5

This means that the value of x in the equation is 59/5

To know if the value is accurate, we simply multiply 5 by 59/5 and we get 59 as in 5x = 59
