First Question Of The Day (F.Q.O.F.D.)
@anteater
@Hero
the formula for this is [1/3 (Base area) height ] 2
you can slove it by plugging in the values and doing it out.
Wait, did you put 1/3 * 5.7 * 3^2?
it's the base area not the edge length so what do you think it would be?
I'm not quite sure what's the base area, all I know is the height is 3 and the base length is 5.7. Also, the formulas as well which is; 1/3 (b^2) (h)
Remember - it is TWO pyramids stuck together..... btw: base area = b^2
so it would be [1/3 (5.7x5.7) 3] 2 make sense?
Yes, I understood that. If I or we split those two pyramids both has a base length of 5.7. Correct?
yes
Oh okay, so I was missing another 5.7 into the equation. Okay, let me give you an answer to that.
you're right! now, do it out. (preferably with a calculator)
I got 97.47.
what equation did you use again?
\[1/3 (5.7*5.7) 3^2\]
not \[3^{2}\]
Oops. Will it be 1/3 (5.7*5.7)^2 3
just the 3. do that out and then you multiply the answer by 2 to get the full shape. the first answer will be only half of it.
no squared!!!
Okay, give me a minute.
32.49
Then I multiplied it by 2 and got 64.98. But then I have to round it up, so it'll be 65.
PERFECT!
THATS RIGHT! GOOD JOB! :D
Okay, I have another question that I'll be posting. You don't mind if you could help me with that?
comment my name and i'll see what i can do.
