How does the volume of a pyramid change when the height is halved?

The volume of a pyramid is also halved.

We can find out volume of a pyramid with formula V=

Let´s say, that the  base of the pyramid is 18.

The equation then becomes .

is 6. If the height of the pyramid is 1, the whole equation will be which is 6.

if we halve the height, the equation is

That is 3

If the height of a pyramid halves, the volume also halves.

I hope that I have helped you.

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?

step-by-step explanation:

no, her answer is not correct.   we square the lengths of all sides and then determine whether the pythagorean theorem holds here:

9² + 15² = 306.   this is not equal to the square of the longest side ( that square being 395.   answer c is correct.
