The formula of pyramid:
Where v is the volume, a is the base area and h is the height.
We can then put the given information into the formula:
176 = (1/3)(3x × x)(11)
(176 × 3) / 11 = 3x^2
3x^2 = 48
x^2 = 48/3
x = _/16
x = 4
Well, there are 12 inches in a foot.
We have 3/12 inches (3 inches of a foot). Now, let's simplify!
What is the GCF (greatest common factor) of 12 and 3? Well, let's list out the factors (what a number divides into) of each of them.
1*12
2*6
3*4
1*3
The largest factor that we see in both of these numbers is 3, so let's divide 3/12 by 3!
3/3=1
12/3=4
So, 3 inches are 1/4 of a foot :).
You can check your answer by multiplying 12 by 1/4. Your answer will be 3!
I hope I helped! :)
While you cannot solve 946x+642y=911 for numerical values of x and y, you can indeed solve 946x+642y=911 first for x and then for y:
-911 - 642y
For x: 946x+642y=911 becomes 946x = 911 - 642y, or x = ------------------
946
911-946x
For y: 946x+642y=911 becomes 642y = 911-946x, or y = ---------------
642
