Answer:

1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

i am not certain but this is how I got it

First distribute which gives you the -3 with 2 I switched them around so I did -3(-5x+2) and you will get 15x-6

Then the opposite of subtraction is addition so you add 6 to both sides so you add six to 12 and to 6 leaving you with 15x=3x+18 you then will subtract 3x from 15x and 3 leaving you with 12x=18 the divide the numbers

After you divide you get 3/2 then put it has a decimal and you get 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

n, n+2, n+4

2(n+2)-n=11

2n+4-n=11

n+4=11

n=7

So the three consecutive odd terms are 7, 9, 11.

A pyramid has a square base with sides of length s. The height of the pyramid is equal to - of the length of a side on the base.

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

<h3><u>Question:</u></h3>

A pyramid has a square base with sides of length s. The height of the pyramid is equal to 1/2 of the length of a side on the base. Which formula represents the volume of the pyramid?

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

<em><u>The formula represents the volume of the pyramid is:</u></em>

$V=\frac{1}{6}s^3$

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

<em><u>The volume of square pyramid is given by formula:</u></em>

$V = \frac{1}{3} a^2h$

Where, "h" is the height of pyramid

"a" is the length of side of base

Here given that, pyramid has a square base with sides of length s

Therefore,

a = s

The height of the pyramid is equal to 1/2 of the length of a side on the base

$h = \frac{1}{2} \times s\\\\h = \frac{s}{2}$

<em><u>Thus the volume of pyramid becomes:</u></em>

$V = \frac{1}{3} \times s^2 \times \frac{s}{2}\\\\V = \frac{s^3}{6}$

$\boxed{V=\frac{1}{6}s^3}$

Thus the formula represents the volume of the pyramid is $\frac{s^3}{6}$
