Kepler's three laws of planetary motion are the following:

<span>-The path of the planets about the sun is elliptical in shape, with the center of the sun being located at one focus. (The Law of Ellipses)
-An imaginary line drawn from the center of the sun to the center of the planet will sweep out equal areas in equal intervals of time. (The Law of Equal Areas)
-The ratio of the squares of the periods of any two planets is equal to the ratio of the cubes of their average distances from the sun. (The Law of Harmonie</span>

Find the volume of the given prism. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Novay_Z [31]

Given:

The base of the prism is a right triangle with legs 1 m and 2 m.

The height of the prism is 17 m.

To find:

The volume of the given prism.

Solution:

The area of a triangle is:

$Area=\dfrac{1}{2}\times base\times height$

So, the area of base of the prism is:

$Area=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1\times 2$

$Area=1$

Now, the volume of the prism is:

$V=Bh$

Where, B is the base area and h is the height of the prism.

Substituting $B=1,h=17$ , we get

$V=(1)(17)$

$V=17$

The volume of the prism is 17 cubic m. Therefore, the correct option is (d).

The equation 8c = $40.80 represents the cost of 8 t-shirts, with c representing the cost of one t-shirt. How much do 5 t-shirts

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

To find the price of one t-shirt, we can do 40.80 / 8 = $5.10 per shirt. Therefore, the price of 5 shirts is 5.10 * 5 = $25.50.

maria has a total of 95 dimes and quarters. If the total value of the coins is $23.45, how many quarters does she have? Please S

NARA [144]

This is the concept of application of quadratic equations; To get the number of dimes and quarters we proceed as follows;
suppose there are x dimes and y quarters;
x+y=95.......i
but we know;
$0.1=1 dimes
$0.25=1 quarters
thus
0.1x+0.25y=23.45.....ii
solving equation i and ii by substitution we shall have:
from i;
x=95-y
thus substituting the value of x in equation ii we get
0.1(95-y)+0.25y=23.45
9.5-0.1y+0.25y=23.45

collecting like terms we get:
0.15y=13.95
dividing both sides by 0.15 we get;
y=13.95/0.15=93
x=95-93=2
therefore we conclude that there were 2 dimes and 93 quarters
