Ben is building a workshop in his backyard with dimensions as shown in the figure. Ben is planning to air-condition the workshop

using a window-unit air conditioner. He needs to determine the BTU's (British Thermal Units) required to cool the building. For a new construction with good insulation, there should be 2 BTU per cubic foot. What is the minimum capacity for the window air conditioner that Ben need to purchase.

Answer:

2160 BTU

Step-by-step explanation:

Ben looks at his plan and realizes that his building can be viewed as a triangular prism sitting on a cube.

Calculating the volume of a cube is easy… Length x Width x Height (LWH)… so 12 x 10 x 8 = 120 x 8 = 960 cubic feet for the cube part.

For the prism, it’s almost the same… but divided by 2 : (LWH)/2, so… (12 x 10 x 2) / 2 = (120 x 2) / 2 = 240 / 2 = 120 cubic feet for the prism part.

Total for the building : 960 + 120 = 1080 cubic feet

Since 2 BTU per cubic foot, the power of the unit needs to be at least  1080 x 2 = 2160 BTU.

Is this a complementary ,linear pair,vertical or adjacent?
vovangra [49]
Answer: Linear

Explanation: A linear pair of angles is formed when two lines intersect. Two angles are said to be linear if they are adjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines. The measure of a straight angle is 180 degrees, so a linear pair of angles must add up to 180 degrees.

Which transformation of Figure A results in Figure A' ?
MariettaO [177]

Option B: a counterclockwise rotation of 90° about the origin

Explanation:

From the graph, we can see the coordinates of the figure A are (0,2), (-1,6) and (-4,4)

The coordinates of the figure A' are (-2,0), (-6,-1) and (-4,-4)

<u>Option B: a counterclockwise rotation of 90° about the origin </u>

The transformation rule for a coordinate to reflect a counterclockwise rotation of 90° about the origin  is given by

(x,y)\implies (-y,x)

Let us substitute the coordinates of the figure A

Thus, we have,

(0,2)\implies(-2,0)

(-1,6)\implies (-6,-1)

(-4,4)\implies(-4,-4)

Thus, the resulting coordinates are equivalent to the coordinates of the figure A'.

Therefore, the figure is a counterclockwise rotation of 90° about the origin .

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
