A rectangular pyramid has a height of 5 units and a volume of 60 units3. Shannon states that a rectangular prism with the same base area and height has a volume that is three times the size of the given rectangular pyramid. Which statement explains whether Shannon is correct? A rectangular prism in which BA = 36 and h = 5 has a volume of 180 units3; therefore, Shannon is correct. A rectangular prism in which BA = 12 and h = 5 has a volume of 180 units3; therefore, Shannon is correct. A rectangular prism in which BA = 36 and h = 5 has a volume of 60 units3; therefore, Shannon is incorrect. A rectangular prism in which BA = 12 and h = 5 has a volume of 60 units3; therefore, Shannon is incorrect.

Question

A rectangular pyramid has a height of 5 units and a volume of 60 units3. Shannon states that a rectangular prism with the same base area and height has a volume that is three times the size of the given rectangular pyramid. Which statement explains whether Shannon is correct?

a) A rectangular prism in which BA = 36 and h = 5 has a volume of 180 units³; therefore, Shannon is correct.

b) A rectangular prism in which BA = 12 and h = 5 has a volume of 180 units³; therefore, Shannon is correct.

c) A rectangular prism in which BA = 36 and h = 5 has a volume of 60 units³; therefore, Shannon is incorrect.

d) A rectangular prism in which BA = 12 and h = 5 has a volume of 60 units³; therefore, Shannon is incorrect.

a) A rectangular prism in which BA = 36 and h = 5 has a volume of 180 units³; therefore, Shannon is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a Rectangular Pyramid = 1/3 × Base Area × Height

In the question,

Base Area = ?

Height = 5 units

Volume = 60 units³

So,

60= 1/3 × BA × 5

Cross Multiply

180 = 5BA

BA = 180/5

BA = 36 units²

Also, the Volume of a Rectangular Prism =

Base Area × Height

From the above question

Base Area = 36 units²

Height = 5 units

Volume of the Rectangular prism = 36 units² × 5 units

= 180 units³

Therefore , the statement that explains whether Shannon is correct is option a,

" A rectangular prism in which BA = 36 and h = 5 has a volume of 180 units³; therefore, Shannon is correct.

(1, –1), (16, –4), (36, –6)

step-by-step explanation:

given that the function is

this can also be written as

we have to graph this function and check which list of points lie on the graph

see attachment for graph:

we find that the points lying are (1,-1) (16,-4) and (36,-6)

since square root is there we find that x can only be posiitve but y can be since square root both positive and negative.
