A) A pyramid has a height of 488 ft and its base covers an area of 10.0 acres. The volume of a pyramid is given by the expression: V=1/3Bh, where B is the area of the base and h is the height. Find the volume of the pyramid in cubic meters. (1 acre = 43,560ft^2). B) What If? If the height of the pyramid were increased to 525 ft and the height to base area ratio of the pyramid were kept constant, by what percentage would the volume of the pyramid increase?
Assume you have a drop of 2 cm3 falling down. A) If the drop is a cube, what is its surface area? (Hint, volume of a cube = L³. Surface area of a cube=6*L2, where L is the length of the cube, and the factor of 6 as a cube has 6 faces). B) For the same drop, what is its surface area if it is a sphere? (Hint, volume of a sphere=4/3*pi*R³. Surface area of a sphere=4*pi*R?.) C) Find the surface area to volume ratios of both objects. Which object (sphere or cube) has a lower surface area to volume ratio? Which shape does the drop favor?

1. Multiplication or division: keep the same number of significant figures in the product or quotient as is in the least precise factor. Examples: 3.1 * 25.6=79.360000... = 79 6.7/981.0=0.0068297655... = 0.0068 keep only 2 significant digits 2. Powers or roots: keep the same number of significant figures as in the original number. Example: Sqrt(38) 6.164414... keep only 2 significant digits = 6.2 (11.6)² = 134.5600000... = 135 Exercises 3. Addition or subtraction: Round off, to the number of decimal places determined by the number with the least number of places beyond the decimal point. Example: 31.5+24.61 +3.28+1.19 +0.762 +0.003 = 61.345 1. 3.9 * 78.9= = 61.3 (correct result) 2. 32.01 +96.321 +36.98 +0.00023 +28.9= 3. 26.9/98 = 4. 421 0.003 =
