This question is all about dimensional analysis. The whole idea behind dimensional analysis is that you multiply a starting value with different conversion factors to cancel out units you don't want to tern the value into the units that you do want. The conversion for yards to feet can be written as 3 feet/yard (this is the conversion factor it can be written as 3feet/1yard or 1yard/3feet, it depends on what you are starting with). If you start out with yards and and want to go to feet you have to multiply the number of yards by 3feet/yard so that the yards cancel out leaving you with feet. If start out with feet and want to go to yards you divide the number of feet by 3feet/yard so that the feet cancel out and you are left with yards.

In your question Tom is trying to go from feet to yards. Therefore he has to divide the number of feet by 3feet/yard to get feet to cancel out. His mistake was that he multiplied by 3feet/yard instead of divide by 3feet/yard. The correct way do it is divide 379 feet by 3feet/yard to get 126.33 yards.

Let me know if anything is unclear to you in the comments. This is a very important skill to learn since this is the basis of many high school and college science classes.
I hope this helps.

What is the best result for h?

Kryger [21]

Answer: First option.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for "h" from the given the equation $S=2\pi rh+2\pi r^2$ , you need to:

Apply the Subtraction property of equality and subtract $2\pi r^2$ to both sides of the equation.

Then you need to apply the Division property of equality and divide both sides of the equation by $2\pi r$ .

Then:

$S-2\pi r^2=2\pi rh+2\pi r^2-2\pi r^2\\\\S-2\pi r^2=2\pi rh\\\\\frac{S}{2\pi r}-\frac{2\pi r^2}{2\pi r}=\frac{2\pi rh}{2\pi r}\\\\\frac{S}{2\pi r}-r=h$

How do i find the congruence of triangles??? i dont know how to do it at all please help

Elza [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

"If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent. If any two angles and the included side are the same in both triangles, then the triangles are congruent."

A rectangular prism has a length of 7 cm, a width of 4 cm, and a height of 2

Scilla [17]

Answer:

The number of cubes are needed to fill the rectangular prism = 448 cubes

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

A rectangular prism has a length of 7 cm, a width of 4 cm, and a height of 2 cm. The prism is filled with cubes that have edge lengths of 1/2 cm

To find the volume of rectangular prism

Volume of rectangular prism = Length x Width X Height

Length = 7 cm, Width = 4 cm and height = 2cm

Volume = 7 x 4 x 2 = 56 cm³

To find the volume of small cubes

Volume of cube = a³

a = 1/2 cm = 0.5³ = 0.125

To find the number of cubes needed to fill prism

Number of cubes = Volume of prism/ volume of cube

= 56/0.125 = 448 cubes

Therefore the correct answer is 448 cubes
