One of the Great Pyramids in Egypt has the shape of a square pyramid with the base length of 20 feet, and the height of 150 feet tall. If the stones that were used to build the pyramid had a volume of 40 cubic feet each, how many stones did the Egyptians need to build the pyramid?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

500

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Shape of one of the Great Pyramids in Egypt is a square pyramid.

Base of pyramid is of square shape with length = 20 feet

Height of pyramid = 150 feet

Volume of each stone used for the construction of the pyramid = 40 cubic feet

To find:

Number of stones used for the construction of the pyramid.

Solution:

First, we need to find the volume of the square pyramid and then we need to divide the volume of pyramid with the volume of one stone used for the construction.

It will give us the number of stones used for the construction of pyramid.

Volume of a pyramid is given as:

[tex]V = \dfrac{1}{3}\times \text{Area of base}\times Height[/tex]

Here, base is a square, so area of base = [tex](Side)^2[/tex]

[tex]V = \dfrac{1}{3}\times 20^2\times 150 = 400\times 50 ft^3[/tex]

Number of stones of 40 cubic feet each, required = [tex]\frac{400\times 50}{40}[/tex] = 500

a) The length of a rectangle is 3 m longer than its width and the area of the rectangle is 108 m². Find its length.​

Answers

Draw a rectangle. If the length is 3 inches longer than its width, we can write the width as "w" and the length as the width + 3
Area is (width)(Length) = (width)(width+3)

W
----------
| |
| |
| | L = w+3
| |
| |
-----------

A = (w+3)(w)
A = w2 + 3w = 108.
(Problem states that area is 108 sq in)

Need to solve this quadratic equation

w2 + 3y - 108 = 0

Factor:
(w - 9) (w + 12) = 0

So
w - 9 = 0. or. w + 12 = 0

Solve these and get
w = 9. or. w = -12

Only one that makes sense in real life is the poitive one.

So the dimensions are

Width = 9 inches
Length = 12 inches

d = vt

where:

v = speed

d = distance

t = time

Based on the formula, each quantity is directionally proportional to each other. Since we don't have enough numbers to work with, we will utilize our concept skills.

If the car travels half the speed, then the car is slowing down and covers a short distance in a certain amount of time than it did originally. So we divide the default distance by 2.

180 / 2 = 90

The new distance so far is 90 miles.

But now it takes the car 3 times as long to get to its destination. The longer it takes, the more distance you will cover. Multiply the current distance by 3.

90 * 3 = 270

The car travels 270 miles.

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Point B is located 6.5 tenths left of -8.

Answer:

Point B

Step-by-step explanation:

If you count 5 steps backward from -8, you land in the direct middle of -9 and -8. You can also count 5 steps forward from -9, but it doesn't change that the number represented is -8.5. Now focus on the distance from -8.5 to -9 (because between that distance are the points that we might be using). You repeat the same process used above, so if you half the distance between -8.5 and -9 then you'll get -8.75. As we can see, Point A is the closest to -8.75 compared to Point B. It wouldn't make sense to choose Point B because as we mentioned before, Point A is now most certainly not -8.65. Point B represents that number the best.

This formula is used to calculate the weekly pay of a letting agent. Weekly pay = basic pay + number of houses rented x bonus The basic pay is £400 and a bonus of £75 is paid for each house rented. Mrs Lewis rents out 5 houses in one week. Calculate her pay.

Answers

Answer:

£775

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, it was given that:

Weekly pay = basic pay + number of houses rented x bonus

This expression can be used to determine the amount of money being paid to the agent every week.

When basic pay = £400, bonus = £75, and the number of house rented = 5.

Then,

Weekly pay = 400 + 5(75)

                    = 400 + 375

                    = 775

Weekly pay = £775

The amount of money paid to Mrs Lewis every week is £775.

You buy five books that are equal in

that would help you determine the cost
of one book.
Help!

Answers

Answer:

5x+8=26.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the books are equal in price, we can use x to represent the price of the books and 5 to represent the amount, so it would be written as 5x. Then we add 8 because that's the price of the one DVD. It tells the total is 26.50, so the full equation written would be 5x+8=26.50

5x + 8 = 26.50 ; x represents the price of 1 book

Pam used the following process to find the y intercept of the line described by the equation 2y-y=11.

According to Pam's method, which expression gives the y-intercept of the line described by the equation ax+by=c?
a. -a/b
b. b/a
c. -b/c
d. c/d

Answers

Answer:

c/b

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression ax+by = c, the y intercept of the line occurs at when x = 0

Substitute x = 0 into the expression and get the value of y

ax+by = c

a(0)+by = c

0+by = c

by = c

divide both sides by b

by/b = c/b

y = c/b

Hence the y intercept of the line occurs at y c/b
