To describe two non-similar triangular pyramids with similar bases.

Explanation of Solution
Given:
Two non-similar triangular pyramids
Concept used:
Two pyramids are similar if their corresponding radii and heights are proportional.
Calculation:
Selecting some random values for one of the bases:
Now, multiply these by a constant
These bases are in the ratio of
Select a value for the height of the first pyramid:
The height of the second pyramid cannot be
Conclusion:
Therefore, these are the two non-similar triangular pyramids with similar bases.

- Decomposition geometry: Mary is making a decorative yard space with dimensions as shaded in green (ΔOAB).Mary would like to cover the yard space with artificial turf (plastic grass-like rug). Mary reasoned that she could draw a rectangle around the figure so that the point O was at a vertex of the rectangle and that points A and B were on sides of the rectangle. Then she reasoned that the three smaller triangles resulting could be subtracted from the area of the rectangle. Mary determined that she would need 28 square meters of artificial turf to cover the green shaded yard space pictured exactly.arrow_forward7. 11 m 12.7 m 14 m S V=B₁+ B2(h) 9.5 m 16 m h+s 2 na 62-19 = 37 +, M h² = Bu-29arrow_forwardwhat would a of a interscribed angle be with an arc of 93 degrees and inside abgles of 111 and 98arrow_forward
