Let
x---------> the length of the first piece
y---------> the length of the second piece
z---------> the length of the third piece
we know that
x+y+z=72 -------> equation 1
y=x+6 -----> solve for x
x=y-6 -------> equation 2
z=6+y -------> equation 3
substitute equation 2 and equation 3 in equation 1
[y-6]+y+[6+y]=72
3y=72
y=(72/3)=24 in
<u>Find the value of x</u>
x=y-6 -------> equation 2
x=24-6=18 in
<u>Find the value of z</u>
z=6+y -------> equation 3
z=6+24=30 in
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
the length of the first piece is 18 in
the length of the second piece 24 in
the length of the third piece is 30 in
Since you mentioned the fundamental counting principle, I assume you are looking for the total number of possibilities.
If you are picking a month, there are 12 options.
If you are selecting a day of the week, there are 7 options.
If you are doing both, you multiply the two numbers together.
12 x 7 = 84
The volume of the pyramid would be 2406.16 cubic cm.
<h3>How to find the volume of a square-based right pyramid?</h3>
Supposing that:
The length of the sides of the square base of the pyramid has = b units
The height of the considered square-based pyramid = h units,
The pyramid below has a square base.
h = 24.4 cm
b = 17.2 cm
Then, its volume is given by:
Therefore, the volume of the pyramid would be 2406.16 cubic cm.
