Homework Help: Physics

Posted by Gabby on Sunday, September 30, 2012 at 12:00am.

Hello! I live in Mexico, and I have a couple of questions I asked on Y answers, both English and Spanish, and have gotten no reply, and I need to turn this in for my bimonthly exam in physics this Monday. I need to calculate the volume and surface area of two of the pyramids at Xochicalco, but I have several problems here:
-I don't know their measurements and can't find them on Google.
-I don't know if the base counts as part of a building's surface, since it is stuck to the ground.
-I don't know if they count as pyramids since they are not shaped like triangular prisms.
Please help me, this is for my bimonthly physics exam. Just don't do it for me! I want to be able to honestly take credit for my homework.
Thank you in advance!
G.

Probablemente, si vives en la ciudad de México, encuentres un estudio en la biblioteca de la ENAH o con alguno de los especialistas de esta escuela. Ahora bien, respecto de las otras preguntas creo que obviar que no es un prisma completamente regular y tomarla como tal es una aproximació válida, es común tomarlo así pero hacer patente este hecho, para un cálculo simplificado.

Si, vivo en la Ciudad de Mexico, pero no puedo salir... :( Hay algun sitio de Internet al cual pueda ir y ver?
Gracias!

El sitio de "Arqueología Mexicana" de editorial raices tendrá seguramente un número dedicado a este importante sitio.
El u r l es arqueomex con el punto com (no me permite enviar direcciones por eso lo apunto así)
Buscaré en mi biblioteca a ver si encuentro este dato, desgraciadamente casi todos mis libros son sobre los mayas. Y en el caso específico de Xochicalco, por lo que observo, será difícil encontrar algo tan específico pues caso todos ellos son generales.
