A rectangular pyramid has a height of 5 units and a volume of 60 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?

The first choice

Step-by-step explanation:

The pyramid volume formula is this:  bh(1/3)

the rectangular prism volume is this: bh

Looking at these formulas, we can see that the rectangular prism is three times the pyramid, so Shannon has to be correct.

Because rectangular prism is three times pyramid, the volume of the rectangular prism is 60*3 = 180

When we divide it by the height, we get the base area: 180/5 = 36

Therefore, the first choice is correct.

first option

a function is a relation in which an input is paired with exactly one output.

so, let's find the right answer.

in our first option, our inputs are january, february, and march. the outputs are 30, 28, and 25. each input has it's own output. this is correct!

our second option we know is incorrect, because ms. valverade has two outputs, dogs and cats. this is not a function.

our third option is incorrect as well. the yellow square has two ouputs, the square and the triangle.

lastly, in our fourth option, we see the number 7 two times with a different output. therefore, this is not a function.

remember: each input must be paired with only one output!

b.) 160 miles on a 5 gallons car

step-by-step explanation:

240/10=24 miles/gallon

160/5=32 miles/gallon

30/1=30 miles/gallon

168/6= 28 miles/gallon

32 miles/gallon is the most amount, so this is the best.
