question 144

Multiple Choice

Provide an appropriate response.
-The formula used to find the volume of the frustum of a square pyramid is $V = \frac { 1 } { 3 } h \left( a ^ { 2 } + a b + b ^ { 2 } \right)$ , where $b$ is the length of the base, $a$ is the length of the top, and $h$ is the height. Calculate the volume if $a = 283$ feet, $b = 680$ feet, and $\mathrm { h } = 222$ feet.

Definitions:

Veins

Blood vessels that carry blood towards the heart, typically transporting deoxygenated blood from the tissues back to the heart, except in the case of the pulmonary veins.

Aorta

The largest artery in the body, originating from the left ventricle of the heart and extending down to the abdomen, where it branches into smaller arteries.

Pulse Pressure

is the difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings, reflecting the health and elasticity of the arteries.

Blood Pressure

The force exerted by circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels, vital for maintaining the body's circulatory function.
