Answer 1
Answer: At first, I thought this was going to be a dog of a bear of a problem,
but then I fixated it with my steely burning gaze and it fell apart for me.

The volume of a pyramid is   (1/3) (base area) (height)

Each of these pyramids has the same base area and the
same height, so ...

      Volume of the lower pyramid = (1/3) (base area) (height)
      Volume of the upper pyramid = (1/3) (base area) (height)

Combined volume of both pyramids = (2/3) (base area) (height) .

Now, how do the pyramids relate to the rectangular prism ?

Their base area is  (length x width) of the prism, and
their height is  (1/2 the height) of the prism.

From here, we'll work with the dimensions of the prism ... L, W, and H .

Combined volume of the pyramids = (2/3) (L x W) (1/2 H)

                                                           =  (1/3) (L x W x H) .

Volume of the prism  =  (L x W x H)

The pyramids occupy 1/3 the volume of the prism.

The ratio is  1/3 .

The force of an object (f) is equal to its mass (m) times its acceleration (a). Thus, the formula for calculating force is f = ma. Based on this information, which of the following equations would be used to calculate acceleration?A. a = f ÷ m
B. a = f − m
C. a = f + m
D. a = fm

Answers

The correct answer is A. To rearrange the equation, you have to divide both sides by "m" to isolate "a" so that acceleration can be directly calculated. This would result in the equation becoming: f/m = ma/m As the mass (m) on the right hand side of the equation appears in the numerator and the denominator, it can be cancelled, resulting in the new equation: f/m = a which can then be flipped to give a = f/m.

Answers

Final answer:

The complement of 109° degrees is -19°

Explanation:

The complement of an angle is the difference between 90 degrees and the given angle. In this case, the complement of 109 degrees would be 90 - 109 = -19 degrees.

HELP PLEASE

Answers

The required 6 kilometers in miles is given as 3.6 miles.

Given that,
To Value of 6 kilometers in miles is to be determined.

What is simplification?

The process in mathematics to operate and interpret the function to make the function or expression simple or more understandable is called simplifying and the process is called simplification.

Here,
1 km = 0.6 mi,
multiply both sides by 6
6 km = 3.6 mi

Thus, the required 6 kilometers in miles is given as 3.6 miles.

A concert charges $24.50 per daily adult ticket and $13.75 per child’s ticket. A group of 90 people paid $1560.00 for tickets. Write a system of equations that could be used to find x, the number of adult tickets purchased, and y, the number of children's tickets purchased?I know the answer i just need to know how to solve it. Thanks :)

Answers

x=adults
y=childern

x+y=90
24.50x+13.75y=1560

so
mutliply the first equation by -13.75 and add to second equaiton

-13.75x-13.75y=-1237.5
24.50x+13.75y=1560 +
10.75x+0y=323

10.75x=322.5
divide both sides by 10.75
x=30

x=30
sub back

x+y=90
30+y=90
minus 30 both sides
y=60


x=30
y=60
