Part A
Given:
Volume of square pyramid = 73.5 <u>cubic</u> inches
height of square pyramid = 4.5 inches
To find:
1)Side length of square pyramid.
2)if side length of square pyramid is rational or irrational
Steps:
1) Side length =
Side length =
Side length = (multiplying both sides to make it a whole number)
Side length =
Side length = (3 gets canceled out)
Side length =
Side length = 7 inches
Therefore, the side length of the square pyramid is 7 inches long
2) 7 is a rational number, so the side length of the square pyramid is a rational number.
It is a rational number because,
it can be written in the form p/q, where
1) q 0
2) p and q are co-prime
3) p and q are integers
Part B
Given:
Volume of Khafre's pyramid = 9/10 of Khufu's pyramid's volume
Volume of Kristina's first pyramid = 73.5 cubic inches
To find:
Volume of Kristina's second pyramid
Steps:
Volume of Kristina's second pyramid = 9/10 the volume of Kristina first pyramid
Volume of second pyramid =
Volume of second pyramid = 9 7.35
Volume of second pyramid = 66.15 cubic inches
The volume of the second pyramid should be 66.15 cubic inches
Part C
Given:
Height of pyramid = 4.41 inches
Volume of pyramid = 66.15 cubic inches
To find:
1) Side length of pyramid
2) if the side length is rational or irrational
Steps:
1) Side length =
Side length =
Side length = (multiplying both sides to make it a whole number)
Side length =
Side length = (3 gets canceled)
Side length =
Side length of pyramid is inches
2) cant be written in the form of a fraction, so it is an irrational number
(if u want i can explain this more)
Part D
Given
Height of model pyramid = 4.5 inches
Height of Khufu's pyramid = 755.75 feet (had to search the internet for the answer, so I am not sure if it is correct)
Side length of model pyramid = 7 inches
Side length of Khufu's pyramid = 481.4 feet (had to search the internet for the answer)
To find:
1)If the model is to scale with Khufu's pyramid
2) If the model is close to scale with Khufu's pyramid
Steps:
1) First lets find the ratio of the height to the side length of the model
Ratio = 4.5 in : 7 in
= 45 : 70
= 9 : 14
= 0.6428
Now lets find the ratio of the height to the side length of Khufu's pyramid
Ratio = 481.4 feet : 755.75 feet
= 5776.8 in : 9069 in
= 0.6369
Therefore the model is not to scale with Khufu's pyramid
2) Yes the scale is close
Part E
Given:
Height of model pyramid = 4.41 inches
Height of Khafre's pyramid = 448 feet
Side length of model pyramid = inches
Side length of Khafre's pyramid = 706 feet
To find:
1) If the model is to scale with Khafre's pyramid
2) If the model is close to scale with Khafre's pyramid
Steps:
1) First lets find the ratio of the height to the side length of the model pyramid,
Ratio = 4.41 in : in
= 4.41 : 6.7082
= 0.6574
Now lets find the ratio of the height to the side length of Khafre's pyramid
Ratio = 448 ft : 706 ft
= 5376 in : 8472 in
= 0.6345
Therefore the model is not to scale with Khafre's pyramid
2) No, the model is not close to scale, (it depends by what is meant by close, for me its 0.01)
