Why can't you compare 5 minutes in 240 seconds without making some kind of change

1 answer:

5 0

You have to have the same unit of measure. Here your units are "minutes" and "seconds". In order to compare the two, you must change to 240 seconds into minutes (dividing by 60 = 4 mins) OR change the 5 minutes into seconds (multiply by 60 to give you 300 seconds)

A rectangular prism has a length of 12 centimeters, a width of 6 centimeters, and a height of 9 centimeters. A cross section is

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

<h2>The perimeter of the cross section is 30 centimeters.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we have the intersection of a rectangular prism an a plane.

The dimensions of the rectangular plane are

$l=12cm\\w=6cm\\h=9cm$

Assuming the plane is cutting the prism horizontally, the cross section would have dimensions

$w=6cm\\l=9cm$

Because only the height would be cut.

So, the perimeter of the rectangle cross-section is

$P_{cross}=2(l+w)=2(6+9)=2(15)=30cm$

Therefore, the perimeter of the cross section is 30 centimeters.
