The new business building uptown is building a wall made entirely of glass pyramids. each pyramid will have a square base with length of 8 inches and height of 10 inches. if the wall requires 250 of these pyramids, what volume of glass will be used? round to the nearest cubic inch.

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.

c) yes, because of asa or aas
