Water that weighs 325 lbs will fill 5.2 cubic feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple question of cross multiplication

DATA:

1. The weight of water for 1 cubic feet is 62.5

2. The weight of water for 'X' cubic feet is 325

3. To find x, form an equation:

Cubic feet : Weight of water

1 : 62.5

X : 325

4. Cross multiply

X x 62.5 = 1 x 325

62.5X = 325

5. Make X the subject

X = $\frac{325}{62.5}$

6. Solve to find X

X = 5.2 cubic feet

Therefore, water that weighs 325 lbs will fill 5.2 cubic feet.

A. The figure is a triangular pyramid. You can findits surface area by adding up the area of the three faces of the triangle and the area of the base. A derived formula also is used where the SA is equal to 12 times the perimeter of base times the slant height, added to that is the area of the base. The area of the square base is s^2. Its perimeter is 4s.

SA of Pyramid = 12*P*l + s^2
SA of Pyramid = 12*4s*l + 16^2
SA of Pyramid = 12*4(16)*(17) + (16)^2
SA of Pyramid = 11,008 square inches

b.) The formula for the SA of a cone is:

SA of cone = πr[r+√(h^2+r^2)]
SA of cone = π(3)[(3+√(8^2+3^2)]
SA of cone = 108.8 square inches

Find the solution set of the inequality: 8x+2>34

Sholpan [36]

8x + 2 > 34

-2 -2

8x > 32

8x (÷ 8) > 32 (÷ 8)

x > 4

so x can equal any number from 5 and infinity
