Part a) The scale factor of the smaller pyramid to the larger pyramid in simplest form is $\frac{4}{5}$

Part b) The ratio of the area of the base of the smaller pyramid to the larger pyramid is $\frac{16}{25}$

Part c) The ratio of the volume of the smaller pyramid to the larger pyramid is $\frac{64}{125}$

Part d) The volume of the smaller pyramid is $8,192\ m^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) The scale factor of the smaller pyramid to the larger pyramid in simplest form

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal and this ratio is called the scale factor

Let

z----> the scale factor

x----> the height of the smaller pyramid

y----> the height of the larger pyramid

$z=\frac{x}{y}$

substitute the values

$z=\frac{12}{15}$

Simplify

$\frac{12}{15}=\frac{4}{5}$ -----> scale factor in simplest form

Part b) The ratio of the area of the base of the smaller pyramid to the larger pyramid

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

Let

z----> the scale factor

x----> the area of the base of the smaller pyramid

y----> the area of the base of the larger pyramid

$z^{2} =\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$z=\frac{4}{5}$

substitute

$(\frac{4}{5})^{2} =\frac{x}{y}$

$(\frac{16}{25})=\frac{x}{y}$

Rewrite

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{16}{25}$ -----> ratio of the area of the base of the smaller pyramid to the larger pyramid

Part c) Ratio of the volume of the smaller pyramid to the larger pyramid

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its volumes is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube

Let

z----> the scale factor

x----> the volume of the smaller pyramid

y----> the volume of the larger pyramid

$z^{3} =\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$z=\frac{4}{5}$

substitute

$(\frac{4}{5})^{3} =\frac{x}{y}$

$(\frac{64}{125})=\frac{x}{y}$

Rewrite

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{64}{125}$ -----> ratio of the volume of the smaller pyramid to the larger pyramid

Part d) The volume of the smaller pyramid

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its volumes is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube

Let

z----> the scale factor

x----> the volume of the smaller pyramid

y----> the volume of the larger pyramid

$z^{3} =\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$z=\frac{4}{5}$

$y=16,000\ m^{3}$

substitute and solve for x

$(\frac{4}{5})^{3} =\frac{x}{16,000}$

$(\frac{64}{125})=\frac{x}{16,000}$

x=16,000*64/125

$x=8,192\ m^{3}$

connie < felicia < stew

step-by-step explanation:

stew:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

= (2650-795)/(10-3)

= 1855/7

connie:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

we have two points (0,0) and (4,800)

m = (800-0)/(4-0)

m = 800/4

felicia:

260 words per minute

200< 260 < 265

Amass weighing 16 pounds stretches a spring 8/3 feet. the mass is initially released from rest from a point 2 feet below the equilibrium position, and the subsequent motion takes place in a medium that offers a damping force that is numerically equal to 1/2 the instantaneous velocity. find the equation of motion if the mass is driven by an external force equal to f(t)=cos(2t).
