a)

Check the picture below.

b)

volume wise, we know the smaller pyramid is 1/8 th of the whole pyramid, so the volume of the whole pyramid must be 8/8 th.

Now, if we take off 1/8 th of the volume of whole pyramid, what the whole pyramid is left with is 7/8 th of its total volume, and that 7/8 th is the truncated part, because the 1/8 we chopped off from it, is the volume of the tiny pyramid atop.

Now, what's the ratio of the tiny pyramid to the truncated bottom?

\stackrel{\textit{\Large Volumes}}{\cfrac{\textit{small pyramid}}{\textit{frustum}}\implies \cfrac{~~\frac{1}{8}whole ~~}{\frac{7}{8}whole}}\implies \cfrac{~~\frac{1}{8} ~~}{\frac{7}{8}}\implies \cfrac{1}{8}\cdot \cfrac{8}{7}\implies \cfrac{1}{7}

A bird feeder 24 times using 6 cups each time. A bag of seeds holds 32 cups. How many bags of seed did he use?
pishuonlain [190]

First, let's find how many cups the bird feeder uses 24 times.

24 x 6 = (20 x 6) + (4 x 6) = 120 + 24 = 148 cups.

Now, let's divide 148 by 32.

148 ÷ 32 = 4.625 bags of seed.

I hope this helped!

Which combination of integers can be used to generate the Pythagorean triple (7,24,25)?
allochka39001 [22]
A Pythagorean triple is a set of thre integer numbers, a, b and c that meet the Pythgorean theorem a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Use Euclide's formula for generating Pythagorean triples.

This formula states that given two arbitrary different integers, x and y, both greater than zero, then the following numbers a, b, c form a Pythagorean triple:

a = x^2 - y^2

b = 2xy

c = x^2 + y^2.


From a = x^2 - y^2, you need that x > y, then you can discard options A and D.

Now you have to probe the other options.

Start with option B, x = 4, y = 3

a = x^2 - y^2 = 4^2 - 3^2 = 16 -9 = 7

b = 2xy = 2(4)(3) = 24

c = x^2 9 y^2  = 4^2 + 3^2 = 16 + 9 = 25

Then we could generate the Pythagorean triple (7, 24, 25) with x = 4 and y =3.

If you want, you can check that a^2 + b^2 = c^2; i.e. 7^2 + 24^2 = 25^2

The answer is the option B. x = 4, y = 3

Endpoint: (1,7), midpoint: (-10,10)
algol [13]

The answer is (-21, 13) for The second endpoint.  

Let's start by calling the known endpoint L and the unknown K. We'll call the midpoint M. In order to find this, we must first note that to find a midpoint we need to take the average of the endpoints. To do this we add them together and then divide by 2. So, using that, we can write a formula and solve for each part of the k coordinates. We'll start with just x values.

(Kx + Lx)/2 = Mx

(Kx + 1)/2 = -10

Kx + 1 = -20

Kx = -21

And now we do the same thing for y values

(Ky + Ly)/2 = My

(Ky + 7)/2 = 10

Ky + 7 = 20

Ky = 13

This gives us the final point of (-21, 13)
