A container built for transatlantic shipping is constructed in the shape of a right rectangular prism. Its dimensions are 7.5 ft

by 11.5 ft by 3 ft. If the container is entirely full and, on average, its contents weigh 0.15 pounds per cubic foot, find the total weight of the contents. Round your answer to the nearest pound if necessary.

Considering the definition of right rectangular prism and its volume,  the total weight of the contents is 38.81 pounds.

<h3>Right rectangular prism</h3>

A right rectangular prism (or cuboid) is a polyhedron whose surface is formed by two equal and parallel rectangles called bases and by four lateral faces that are also parallel rectangles and equal two to two.

<h3>Volume of right rectangular prism</h3>

To calculate the volume of the rectangular prism, it is necessary to find the product of its dimensions, or of the three edges that converge at a certain vertex.

That is, to calculate the volume of a rectangular prism, multiply its 3 dimensions: length×width×height.

<h3>Volume of the container </h3>

In this case, you know that:

  • the dimensions of the container built are 7.5 ft by 11.5 ft by 3 ft.
  • the container is entirely full and, on average, its contents weigh 0.15 pounds per cubic foot.

So, the volume of the container is calculated as:

7.5 ft× 11.5 ft× 3 ft= <u><em>258.75 ft³</em></u>

Then, the total weight of the contents is calculated as:

258.75 ft³×  0.15 pounds per cubic foot= <u><em>38.8125 pounds≅ 38.81 pounds</em></u>

Finally, the total weight of the contents is 38.81 pounds.

If f(x) = (1/9)(9^x) what is f(3)
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:  The required value of f(3) is 81.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given the following function :

f(x)=\left(\dfrac{1}{9}\right)9^x~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

We are to find the value of f(3).

Substituting x = 3 in equation (i), we get

f(3)\\\\\\=\left(\dfrac{1}{9}\right)\times9^3\\\\=9^2\\\\=81.

Thus, the required value of f(3) is 81.

his mistake was that he used ≤ for at least instead of using ≥. so at end, when I solved, I saw that Sven should spend 5 minutes or less on each scale.

A rectangle initially has dimensions 6 cm by 7 cm. All sides begin increasing in length at a rate of 1 cm/s. At what rate is the
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

  49 cm²/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem statement tells you what to do.

Write an equation relating A, b, h:

  A = bh . . . . . . the equation for the area of a rectangle

Differentiate with respect to t:

  dA/dt = (db/dt)h + b(dh/dt) . . . . . . . product rule

To find the rate of change after 18 seconds, you need to know the dimensions b and h after 18 seconds. Since each dimension was increasing at the rate of 1 cm/s, it is 18 cm more than it was at the beginning:

At 18 seconds,

  b = 6 cm + 18 cm = 24 cm;

  h = 7 cm + 18 cm = 25 cm.

Of course, db/dt = dh/dt = 1 cm/s. Then the rate of change of area is ...

  dA/dt = (1 cm/s)(25 cm) + (24 cm)(1 cm/s)

  dA/dt = 49 cm²/s

_____

You could write a formula for the area as a function of time and differentiate that:

  A = (6 +t)(7 +t) = 42 + 13t + t²

Then the derivative is ...

  dA/dt = 13 +2t

and when t=18, this is ...

  dA/dt = 13 + 2(18) = 49 . . . . cm²/s
