Answer:

694 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimension of prism

Length = 15.5 inches

width =  8 inches

height =  7 inches

Volume of regular prism is given  by area of base * height

area of base  = length * width ( as bin is rectangular)

area of base  = 15.5 * 8 square inches = 124 square inches

Volume of regular prism = area of base * height

      = 124 * 7 cubic inches = 868 cubic inches

_________________________________________________

868 cubic inches is the full capacity of the recycling bin

it is given that recycling bins need to be emptied when it is 80% full

so we need to find the 80% capacity of recycling bin

80% capacity of recycling bin = 80/100 *  full capacity of the recycling bin

                  = 0.8 * 868 cubic inches = 694.4 cubic inches

694.4 cubic inches is the amount needed before the recycle bin is ready to empty .

But question says answer should in nearest cubic inch

hence answer is 694 cubic inches

Linear model function
sveticcg [70]

Using equations of linear model function, the number of hours Jeremy wants to skate is calculated as 3.

<h3>How to Write the Equation of a Linear Model Function?</h3>

The equation that can represent a linear model function is, y = mx + b, where m is the unit rate and b is the initial value.

Equation for Rink A:

Unit rate (m) = (35 - 19)/(5 - 1) = 16/4 = 4

Substitute (x, y) = (1, 19) and m = 4 into y = mx + b to find b:

19 = 4(1) + b

19 - 4 = b

b = 15

Substitute m = 4 and b = 15 into y = mx + b:

y = 4x + 15 [equation for Rink A]

Equation for Rink B:

Unit rate (m) = (39 - 15)/(5 - 1) = 24/4 = 6

Substitute (x, y) = (1, 15) and m = 6 into y = mx + b to find b:

15 = 6(1) + b

15 - 6 = b

b = 9

Substitute m = 6 and b = 9 into y = mx + b:

y = 6x + 9 [equation for Rink B]

To find how many hours (x) both would cost the same (y), make both equation equal to each other

4x + 15 = 6x + 9

4x - 6x = -15 + 9

-2x = -6

x = 3

The hours Jeremy wants to skate is 3.

Which statement is true about this argument? premises: if an angle measure is greater than 90°, then the angle is an obtuse angl
vazorg [7]
Answer: option d. the argument is valid by the law of detachment.

The law of detachment consists in make a conlcusion in this way:

Premise 1) a => b
Premise 2) a is true

Conclusion: Then, b is true

Note: the order of the premises 1 and 2 does not modifiy the argument.

IN this case:

Premise 1) angle > 90 => obtuse

Premise 2) angle = 102 [i.e. it is true that angle > 90]]

Conclusion: it is true that angle is obtuse

Solve for x. 12(x+11) = 24
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

First, divide both sides by 12 to isolate the expression, x + 11

12(x + 11)/12 = 24/12

x + 11 = 2

Then, subtract 11 from both sides

x + 11 = 2

  - 11  - 11

x = -9

Determine two pairs of polar coordinates for (3,-3) when 0
Xelga [282]

The two pairs of polar coordinates for the given point (3, -3) with 0° ≤ θ < 360° are (3√2, 135°) and (3√2, 315°).

<h3>What is a polar coordinate?</h3>

A polar coordinate is a two-dimensional coordinate system, wherein each point on a plane is typically determined by a distance (r) from the pole (origin) and an angle (θ) from a reference direction (polar axis).

Next, we would determine the distance (r) and angle (θ) as follows:

r = √(3² + (-3)²)

r = √(9 + 9)

r = 3√2.

θ = tan⁻¹(-3/3)

θ = tan⁻¹(-1)

θ = 3π and 7π/4 (second and fourth quadrants).

Converting to degrees, we have:

θ = 135° and 315°.
