Dominick drew a triangle on a map connecting his house, his school, and his favorite skate park. he used a scale on the map to determine that the height of the triangle that he drew represented 2 miles, and the base of the triangle that he drew represented 6 miles. what is the area of the triangle in square miles? es024-1.jpg use the formula for the area of a triangle, es024-2.jpg, where a is the area of the triangle, b is the base, and h is the height.

Brittany has designed four different birdcages, each with the same volume: a square pyramid, a cylinder, a cone, and a sphere. the zoo wants to use one of brittany’s designs but plans to change the volume of the cage. find the design change that would result in the birdcage with the greatest volume. a.) increase the area of the base of the square pyramid by a factor of ten. b.) increase the height of the cylinder by a factor of ten. c.) increase the radius of the cone by a factor of ten. d.) increase the radius of a sphere by a factor of ten.
