In a local ice sculpture contest, one group sculpted a block into a rectangular based pyramid. The dimensions of the base were 3 m by 5 m, and the pyramid was 3.6 m high. Calculate the amount of ice needed for this sculpture.

18m square

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for rectangular- based pyramid is L x W x H divided by 3

= 3 x 5 x 3.6 divided by 3 = 18

So you would need 18 m square for the sculpture

because 1.2 isnt half of 6 duh

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation
