16.) Find the volume of the square pyramid shown. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. my answer: 6000 ft^3. Is that correct? 17.) 17.) A rectangular pyramid fits exactly on top of a rectangular prism. The prism has a length of 24 cm, a width of 3cm, and a height of 12cm. The pyramid has a height of 21 cm. Find the volume of the composite space figure. my answer: 1308cm^3. Is that correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wheres your "square pyramid shown" ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Everything that needs to be said is all there.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why would you ask me a question and then leave?

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

You need the height, the length of a side.....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you are asking 16 or 17?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and dont worry about people leaving, theres a notification when anyone says anything and they may get back to it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

((can i just say something off topic? We all are canines XD)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(its funny to me)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ima shiba inu aka doge

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Well with a name like "wolf" that makes me a canine - a canis lupus actually.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol ya xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is it safe to assume that I am inccorect then?

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Are you asking question 16 or 17?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Both. But 16 first.

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

we need the height, length of the sides...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thats all the information they gave me.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no pictures?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they said shown!

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

How did you calculate 6,000 cubic feet?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh shoot! I am so sorry guys, I honestly thought that there was none and----its late.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold on for one quick second.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16 is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright thank you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

17 is a little weird

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Height is 20 feet volume = l*w*h / 3 volume = 30*30*20 volume = 18,000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you forgot to divide by 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correction: 1368 cm^3....unless i am still wrong

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

saseal - yeah you're right :-(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the trick with 17 is finding the triangle area of the prism

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait...its going to end up remaining in the thousands right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or perhaps it will go down to the hundreds...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know yet lemme draw it out for you...theres 2 options for you to try|dw:1438667961880:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

both of this options will get you different answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

792 cm^2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no?

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

What do they mean by the "composite space figure"?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2,376 cm^3 or 4032 cm^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Either of those can be correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your pyramid volume is 288

OpenStudy (anonymous):

huh...im lost. Im going to go with 2376 cm^3 as the final answer!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the question is actually asking you to find the volume of prism+pyramid

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

That's what I thought when they said "composite figure".

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ikr they like testing english with mathematics

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did it wrong again then...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

welp!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

refer to the figure i draw, even though my drawing sucks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, i shall.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4032 cm^3 BOOM

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thats it sonny~~

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mcq stuff?

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Okay!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

: <

OpenStudy (anonymous):

damn lucky people getting multiple choice questions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol~~

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

I know - in MY day we didn't get mutiple choice questions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But guys, Thank you. Canine lovers~~

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yw

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Okay - see ya
