Answer: 320 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information

The bottle is currently 3/8 full

Current Volume = 240 mL

Concept:

Imagine the water in the bottle being separated into 8 parts

Currently, 3 parts are being occupied

Determine the volume for 1 part

3 parts = 240 mL

1 part = 240 / 3 = 80 mL

Determine the volume for half-full (4 parts)

1 part = 80 mL

4 parts = 80 × 4 = $\Large\boxed{320~mL}$

Hope this helps!! :)

. Complete the missing steps in the paragraph proof of Theorem 3-8.

Crank

To solve for the missing steps, let's rewrite first the problem.

Given:

In a plane, line m is perpendicular to line t or m⟂t
line n is perpendicular to line t or n⟂t

Required:

Prove that line m and n are parallel lines

Solution:

We know that line t is the transversal of the lines m and n.

With reference to the figure above,

∠ 2 and ∠ 6 are right angles by definition of perpendicular lines. This states that if two lines are perpendicular with each other, they intersect at right angles.

So ∠ 2 ≅ ∠ 6. Since corresponding angles are congruent.

Therefore, line m and line n are parallel lines.

ANSWERS: perpendicular lines, corresponding

Find the volume of the triangular prism.

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

V = 31.5 in ^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume is Bh

The base is the triangle

B = 1/2 (7) *2

B = 7 in^2

Now find the volume

V = 7* 4.5

V = 31.5 in ^3
