The Volume of Pyramid B is <u><em>222.6% bigger</em></u> than the volume of Pyramid A.

<em><u>Recall:</u></em>

  • The volume of a square pyramid is given as: V = a^2\frac{h}{3}
  • Where, a = base edge; h = height

<u><em>Thus:</em></u>

Given that Pyramid A has: a = 18 inches; h = 9 inches

Volume = V = 18^2(\frac{9}{3})\\\\

Volume of Pyramid A = 972 in.³

Volume of Pyramid B = 3,136 in.³

Difference in Volume of both pyramids = 3,136 in.³ - 972 in.³ = 2,164

  • This means that: \frac{2,164}{972} \times 100 = 222.6 \% (Pyramid B is 222.6% bigger than Pyramid A)

Answer:

the volume if a square pyramid is V=a2 h/3               ( A = base edge, H = height)

The pyramid has 18 inch of base side length and 9 inches in height. 

thus V = 182  (9/3)

V= 324(3)

V= 972

Volume of pyramid B: 3,136.

3,136 - 972 = 2,164

To find the percentage of these numbers, we must divide them into each other and then multiple them by 100.

2,164/ 972  x 100 

2.22633744856 x 100 

= 222.633744856

Pyramid A is 222.6% bigger than pyramid A

Two 120 resistors are connected in parallel across voltage supply of 10 vdc what’s the current in this circuit
Daniel [21]

Answer: 0.167

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an applied mathematics question

Resistors in parallel  ⁾/R = ¹/₁₂₀ + ¹/₁₂₀ since the resistor is two 120

Therefore , resolve into fraction now yield

                       ¹/R                              =         1 + 1  

                                                                    -------

                                                                     120

                                                          =         2/120

                                                          =          ¹/₆₀

Therefore,                                  ¹/R   =      ¹/₆₀

 Cross multiply to get R the resistance

                                                      R  =  60

From formula,                                V = IR where I is the current

There fore making I the subject of the formula

                                                        I = V/R

                                                          = 10/60

                                                          = 0.166

                                                          = 0.167 A, A = ampere which is the unit of current.

Rectangle prism with length 20inches, width 18inches and height 10inches. Suppose water is pumped out of the aquarium at a rate
Anettt [7]

Answer:

10 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this , we need to first calculate the volume of the rectangular prism. Let’s say this is V.

Mathematically, V = w h l where w, h and l are width , height and length respectively.

V = 20 * 18 * 10 = 3600 in^3

Now to get the number of minutes, we divide the volume by the draining rate.

That would be 3600/360 = 10 minutes
