Lizette wanted to see if it would be possible to use a little less materials in a tea infuser but still not be required to be at

full capacity. Her rectangular pyramidal tea infuser would be 7 cm high, 3 cm long and 1.5 cm wide. The tea infuser from the example, was the same except 7.9 cm high and was filled to 80% capacity.
Would these dimensions work, if so to what percent would Lizette's infusers have to be filled to use the same amount of tea?

Considering the volume of a rectangular prism, since the new volume is greater than the filled volume, the new dimensions would work, and 90.29% of the infuser would be filled.

<h3>What is the volume of a rectangular prism?</h3>


The volume of a rectangular prism of length l, width w and height h is given by:

V = lwh.

The original dimensions are:

h = 7.9 cm, l = 3 cm, w = 1.5.

Hence the volume in cm³ was:

V = 7.9 x 3 x 1.5 = 35.55 cm³.

The infuser was filled to 80% capacity, hence:

Vf = 0.8 x 35.55 = 28.44 cm³.

For the new dimensions, we have that h = 7 cm, hence the volume is:

Vn = 7 x 3 x 1.5 = 31.5 cm³.

28.44/31.5 x 100% = 90.29%.

Since the new volume is greater than the filled volume, the new dimensions would work, and 90.29% of the infuser would be filled.

Answer:

• changing an interior angle to a reflex angle

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for the outline of the polygon to have a pair of sides that is concave (pointed inward, rather than outward), the corresponding interior angle must be a reflex angle. (It must measure more than 180°.) Draw one; you'll see.

In a recent? year, person A and person B had two concert? tours, and together they generated $ 192.9 million in ticket sales. If
Nuetrik [128]

Answer: Person A generates 107.6 millions and person B generates 85.3 millions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' millions be the amount generated by person A then the amount generated by person B be 'x-22.3' millions.

Since they both earn together $192.9 millions.

So according to the our assumptions we have,

x+x-22.3=192.9\\\Rightarrow\ 2x=192.9+22.3\\\Rightarrow\ 2x=215.2\\\Rightarrow\ x=107.6

Therefore, the amount generated by person A=107.6 millions

And the amount generated by person B= 192.9 millions - 107.6 millions

=85.3 millions
