A rectangular pyramid has a height of 5 units and a volume of 50 units3. Shannon states that a rectangular prism with the same base area and height has a volume that is three times the size of the given rectangular pyramid. Which statement explains whether Shannon is correct?

A rectangular prism in which BA = 30 and h = 5 has a volume of 150 units^3; therefore, Shannon is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Volume of rectangular pyramid= 50 units³

           Height= 5 units.

Lets assume the base area of the pyramid be "BA"

We know, volume of pyramid=

As given, height =5 and volume of pyramid= 50 units.

Subtituting the value in the formula to find base area of Pyramid

⇒

Multiplying both side by 3 and dividing both side by 5

⇒

∴

hence, base area of pyramid is 30 units.

Now, finding the volume of prism.

As given Prism with the same base area and height.

Formula; volume of prism=

⇒ volume of prism=  

∴ Volume of prism= 150 unts³      

Hence, A rectangular prism in which BA = 30 and h = 5 has a volume of 150 units^3; therefore, Shannon is correct.            

27/4x^6 y^8

step-by-step explanation:

4(3x^2y^4)^3 (2x^3y^5)^4

=

108x^6 y^12 /16x^12 y^20

=

108 /16x^6 y^8

=

27 /4x^6 y^8
