8. Three students solved the equations shown. Use the clues to write the name of the student who solved each equation above the correct box. $z^2 = 121$ $x^2 = 81$ $y^3 = 729$ • Huey and Liam's equation have the same solution. • Nadia's equation has a solution that is greater than 10. • Huey's equation can be solved by taking the cube root of both sides. A pyramid has a square base with an area of 144 ft². Mark each statement as true or false and correct any false statements. 9. The length of one side of the pyramid's base can be found using the equation $s^2 = 144$. 10. The length of one side of the pyramid's base is 72 feet.

Step 1
- For \( y^2 = 121 \), the solution is \( y = \pm 11 \). - For \( x^2 = 81 \), the solution is \( x = \pm 9 \). - For \( y^3 = -729 \), the solution is \( y = -9 \). Show more…

A cuboctahedron is a polyhedron built from a cube by cutting off a triangular pyramid at each vertex so that adjacent pyramids intersect at the midpoints of the edges of the cube. (See Figure 1.79, where the original cube is shown with dashed segments.) Verify Euler's formula for the cuboctahedron. Verify Descartes' formula for the cuboctahedron. Find the volume of the cuboctahedron whose edges all have length l. Hint: How long is the side of the cube? Suppose each edge has length l. Find the distance from the center of the cuboctahedron to each vertex to the center of a square face and to the center of a triangular face. Figure 1.79: Cuboctahedron
