Question

can anyone give me the awnser porvavor?
An architect planned to construct two similar stone pyramid structures in a park. The figure below shows the front view of the pyramids in her plan but there is an error in the dimensions Which of the following changes should she make to the dimensions to correct her error?

change the length of side AB to 2 feet

change the length of side PQ to 8 feet

change the length of side AB to 1 feet

change the length of side PQ to 4 feet

Answer 1

I would find the ratios of corresponding sides. 2 of the 3 should be the same and the 3rd one is wrong.

can you find the ratios?

Answer 2

the length of PR divided by the length of AC is one ratio.
(that is the ratio of big to small of the "stair" side)
find the number
do the same for the bottoms: big divided by small
and for the 3rd side

Answer 3

sooo what would the awnseer be ?

Answer 4

sooo what would the ratios be?

Answer 5

lolo good one you just wont let me take a short cut annd you just give me the awnser hahhaah

Answer 6

would it be like 7.5 to 2.5?

Answer 7

yes, but do the division

Answer 8

k so its 3

Answer 9

now do the other 2 sides

Answer 10

and then 2

Answer 11

and 3

Answer 12

so the side with ratio of 2 is wrong.
we can make PQ 9 (so 3*3 works)
or we can make AB 2 (so 3*2 works)

Answer 13

kkk so what would the awnser be ?:)

Answer 14

do you agree the mistake is in the length PQ or AB? (because PQ/AB should = 3)

Answer 15

yea

Answer 16

they give you 4 choices. which will work (give a ratio of 3)?

Answer 17

c?????????????

Answer 18

no no b

Answer 19

i ment a lol sry

Answer 20

if AB is 1, PQ should be 3 (PQ/AB =3 if we want it to match the ratio of the other 2 sides)
but PQ is 6. I would say no.

Answer 21

A den

Answer 22

I hope this makes sense. All this work without understanding it would be awful!

Answer 23

oh you definetly broke it down for me thxs i get it :)
