Question

if the surface area ratio of organic x to pyramid y is 16/49, what is the side ratio of pyramid x to pyramid y?

Answer 1

Answer:  

side ratio = 6 : 19.8

Py = Triangular base = 19.8 + 3/2 x 4.4 x 4.4 = 49

Making side 19.8 pyramid y

16 : 49 = SA ratio       6.2 : 19.8   = side ratio

Step-by-step explanation:

With triangular bases we divide by 3/2 to find the surface area.

So that x = 3.1

x original value = 2.4

2.4 (15/6.2) = 3.1

x  6.25 / 2.6 = 2.4
