Aliquid-filled glass pyramid is being erected as part of a museum attraction. the pyramid is designed to be 15 feet tall with a rectangular base that is 10 feet long and 6 feet wide. what is the total amount of liquid that the pyramid can hold? 156 cubic feet 278 cubic feet 300 cubic feet 324 cubic feet nextreset

the answer is 300 cubic feet

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3

answer: i realy don't get it that much can you me figer it out pleas you
