646 gallons of water are needed to fill the waterbed

<h3>How to determine the gallons of water?</h3>

The dimensions are given as:

8 ft long, 7 ft wide, and 1.5 ft tall

The volume is calculated as:

Volume = Length * Width * Height

So, we have

V = 8 * 7 * 1.5 cubic feet

Evaluate

V = 84 cubic feet

1 gallon = 0.13 cubic feet

So, we have:

V = 84/0.13 gallon

Evaluate

V = 646 gallons

Hence, 646 gallons of water are needed to fill the waterbed

What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the like y=-4x + 7 and passes through the point (8,2)?

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

$y=\frac{1}{4}x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation of line:

$y=-4x+7$

To find the equation of line perpendicular to the line of the given equation and passes through point (8,2).

Applying slope relationship between perpendicular lines.

$m_1=-\frac{1}{m_2}$

where $m_1$ and $m_2$ are slopes of perpendicular lines.

For the given equation in the form $y=mx+b$ the slope $m_2$ can be found by comparing $y=-4x+3$ with standard form.

∴ $m_2=-4$

Thus slope of line perpendicular to this line $m_1$ would be given as:

$m_1=-\frac{1}{-4}$

∴ $m_1=\frac{1}{4}$

The line passes through point (8,2)

Using point slope form:

$y_-y_1=m(x_-x_1)$

Where $(x_1,y_1)\rightarrow (8,2)$ and $m=m_1=\frac{1}{4}$

So,

$y-2=\frac{1}{4}(x-8)$

Using distribution.

$y-2=(\frac{1}{4}x)-(\frac{1}{4}\times 8)$

$y-2=\frac{1}{4}x-2$

Adding 2 to both sides.

$y-2+2=\frac{1}{4}x-2+2$

$y=\frac{1}{4}x$

Thus the equation of line in standard form is given by:

$y=\frac{1}{4}x$

Answer:

D. 216 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

1. I assume 14 is a 22 is b and 12 is h

2. Trapezoid Area Formula

$A = \frac{1}{2}(a+b)h$

3. Plug in numbers

$A = \frac{1}{2}(14+22)12$

$216 = \frac{1}{2}(14+22)12$

Solve for x. x +1/2 = 3/4

Alexeev081 [22]

x + 1/2 = 3/4

set denominators equal:

x + 2/4 = 3/4

-2/4 for both sides:

x = 1/4

there you go! hope this helps!
