A dodecagonal pyramid has a surface area of 130 square inches. A similar dodecagonal pyramid has a surface area of 2080 square inches. If the larger pyramid has a height of 32, what is the height of the smaller dodecagonal pyramid?

Answer :

Answer:

8 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the surface areas is equal to the square of the ratio of the heights

Let h = the height of the smaller dodecagonal pyramid

So,  [tex]\frac{2080}{130} = \frac{32^{2}}{h^{2} }[/tex]

[tex]h^{2} = \frac{32^{2} * 130 }{2080}[/tex]

[tex]h^{2} = 64[/tex]

h = 8 in.
