Please help! Medal + Fan :) 1. The equation of a plane in space is x + 3y + 2z = 6. b.) The three planes of the axes and the plane you have sketched create a triangular pyramid. Find the volume of this pyramid, showing the formula you are using and all calculations below.

I do forget what I learned for this stuff, just try . help me @surjithayer Please When x =0, y =0, z =3 when x =0, z =0, y = 2 when y =0, z =0, x =6, so the pyramid is

what is the formula of the Volume of the triangular pyramid?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

V = (1/2bh x height) / 3

OpenStudy (loser66):

V = A*h where A is the area of the base h is the height of the pyramid

OpenStudy (loser66):

oh ya, you are correct. I miss /3

OpenStudy (loser66):

so, what is A? the area of the base, which is the right triangle AOB with AO =6, OB= 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:)

OpenStudy (loser66):

the area A = \(\dfrac{1}{2}*6*2 =6\) the height is OC =3 V = \(\dfrac{A*h}{3}=6*3/3=6\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the area is 6 and the height is 6?

OpenStudy (loser66):

the height is 3 |dw:1401330950663:dw|
