If we had a Pyramid with a hexagonal base, how many of these pyramids would it take to fill up a hexagonal Prism with a congruent base, and equal height?

3 of the pyramids

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Hexagonal Prism

Hexagonal based pyramid

Required

How many of the pyramid will fill up the prism

To do this, we start by calculating the volumes of both shapes.

Let V1 be the volume of the hexagonal prism

Where: a = base and h = height

Let V2 be the volume of the hexagonal based pyramid

Where: a = base and h = height

The number of the pyramid that can occupy the prism is calculated by dividing V1 by V2

Convert division to multiplication

the polynomial is a perfect square trinomial of the form a^2-2ab+b^2:

option a. true

step-by-step explanation:

9x^2-12x+4

comparing with the form a^2-2ab+b^2

1.) a^2=9x^2

solving for a: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(a^2)=sqrt(9x^2)

a=sqrt(9) sqrt(x^2)

a=3x

2.) b^2=4

solving for b: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(b^2)=sqrt(4)

b=2

to be a perfet square trinomial 2ab must be equal to 12x. let's check:

2ab = 2 (3x) (2)

2ab = 12x

correct
