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}

Hich ordered pair is the solution to the system of equations? {x=(1)/(2)y+5} {2x+3y=-14}
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

(2, - 6 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

x = \frac{1}{2} y + 5 → (1)

2x + 3y = - 14 → (2)

Substitute x = \frac{1}{2} y + 5 into (2)

2( \frac{1}{2} y + 5 ) + 3y = - 14 ← distribute and simplify left side

y + 10 + 3y = - 14

4y + 10 = - 14 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

4y = - 24 ( divide both sides by 4 )

y = - 6

Substitute y = - 6 into (1) for corresponding value of x

x = (0.5 × - 6 ) + 5 = - 3 + 5 = 2

Solution is (2, - 6 )
