Complete Question:

A rectangular prism has a length of 7 m, a height of 5 m, and a volume of 140 m³. What is the width? A prism has a length of 7 meters, width of w, and height of 5 meters.

Which steps are correct? Check all that apply.

a) Substitute the known values into the formula: 140 = 7(w)(5).

b) Substitute the known values into the formula: 7 = 140(w)(5).

c) Substitute the known values into the formula: 5 = 7(w)(140).

d) Solve for the unknown: w = 4 m.

e) Solve for the unknown: w = 7 m.

f) Solve for the unknown: w = 2 m.

Answer:

a) Substitute the known values into the formula: 140 = 7(w)(5).

d) Solve for the unknown: w = 4 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The steps that are correct are Options a) and d). This is because:

Step 1

The volume of a rectangular prism is calculated as:

Volume of a rectangular prism = Length (l) × Width(w) × Height(h)

The unit of the volume or a rectangular prism is in cubic metres (m³)

In the question, we are asked to find the unknown value which is the width and we were given the following known values:

Length = 7 m,

Height = 5 m

Volume = 140 m³

Step 2

Solve for the unknown value( Width)

Volume of a rectangular prism = Length (L) × Width(W) × Height(H)

140m³ = 7m × Width(m) × 5m

140m³ = 35m² × Width(m)

Width(w) = 140m³ ÷ 35m²

Width(w) = 4m

Hence, the unknown Width(w) = 4m

From the above explanation we can see that the correct steps is Option a) and Option d)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of rectangular prism= Length x width x height

V=L x W x H

140=7 x W x 5

140= 35 x w

W= 140/35

W= 4

The equations of two functions are y=-21x+9 and y=24x+8 which function is changing more quickly? Explain

antoniya [11.8K]

Given:

The equations are

$y=-21x+9$

$y=24x+8$

To find:

Which function is changing more quickly.

Solution:

The slope intercept form of a line is

$y=mx+b$

Where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

On comparing $y=-21x+9$ with the slope intercept form, we get

$m_1=-21$

$|m_1|=|-21|$

$|m_1|=21$

On comparing $y=24x+8$ with the slope intercept form, we get

$m_2=24$

$|m_2|=24$

Since, $|m_1|$ , it means the absolute rate of change of second function is greater than the first function.

Therefore, the second function is changing more quickly.

Pat made a total of 48 pottery plates and cups. if she made twice as many plates as cups, how many plates did she make?

ddd [48]

If C stands for cups, solve for C

48 - 2c = 0
l
subtract 48 from each side.
l
2c=-48
l
divide 48 by 2 ---> 24.

Will give brainliest to correct answer! Given that cos Ф=-8/17 and sin Ф is negative, determine the value of tan Ф.

Kipish [7]

Answer: option 3 is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us look at the various trigonometric ratios

Sin Ф = opposite side/ hypotenuse

Cos Ф = adjacent side / hypotenuse

Tan Ф = opposite side / adjacent side

Therefore, tan Ф = sin Ф / cos Ф

This means that if cos Ф=-8/17 and sin Ф is negative, then the hypotenuse is negative

To determine the adjacent side, we will apply Pythagoras theorem

Hypotenuse ^2 = opposite ^2 + adjacent ^2

-17^2 = 8^2 + adjacent^2

adjacent^2 = 289 - 64 = 225

adjacent = √225 = 15

tan Ф = 8/15

Frank bought 349 acres of land for a housing development. If 16 acres of his purchase is reserved for a community center, how ma

Gelneren [198K]

First we will subtract 16 acres from total land 349 acres.
349-16=333 acres

Now divide 333 by 3
Answer will be 111 lots of 3 acres.
