<h3>Answer: C) 6 units</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

Let's find the area of the hexagon. It's composed of two identical (aka congruent) trapezoids.

Each trapezoid has two parallel bases of 4+4 = 8 and 5 units. The height is 3. The area of one trapezoid is

area = height(base1+base2)/2

area = 3*(8+5)/2

area = 19.5

which doubles to 2*19.5 = 39 to represent the area of the entire hexagon

--------------------------------

The volume of any prism is found through this formula

volume = (area of base)*(height of prism)

We just found the area of the base to be 39. The height is unknown, so we'll call it h. The volume is given to be 234.

We end up with this equation

234 = 39h

which solves to h = 6 after dividing both sides by 39. This prism has a height of 6 units.

Answer:

6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of each trapezium is...

½(a+b)h=½(5+8)3 = 39/2 square units

Area of hexagon is..

2×39/2 = 39 square units

Area of prism= cross-sectional area ×height

Where Cross-sec. area is the hexagon

234=39h

h= 234/39

h = 6 units

A rock is thrown upward from a bridge that is 57 feet above a road. The rock reaches its maximum height above the road 0.76 seco
bekas [8.4K]

answer:

f(t) = -9.9788169(t -0.76)^2 +57

Step-by-step explanation:

On this question we see that we are given two points on a certain graph that has a maximum point at 57 feet and in 0.76 seconds after it is thrown, we know can say this point is a turning point of a graph of the rock that is thrown as we are told that the function f determines the rocks height above the road (in feet) in terms of the  number of seconds t since the rock was thrown therefore this turning point coordinate can be written as (0.76, 57) as we are told the height represents y and x is represented by time in seconds. We are further given another point on the graph where the height is now 0 feet on the road then at this point its after 3.15 seconds in which the rock is thrown in therefore this coordinate is (3.15,0).

now we know if a rock is thrown it moves in a shape of a parabola which we see this equation is quadratic. Now we will use the turning point equation for a quadratic equation to get a equation for the height which the format is f(x)= a(x-p)^2 +q  , where (p,q) is the turning point. now we substitute the turning point

f(t) = a(t-0.76)^2 + 57, now we will substitute the other point on the graph or on the function that we found which is (3.15, 0) then solve for a.

0 = a(3.15 - 0.76)^2 + 57

-57 =a(2.39)^2  

-57 = a(5.7121)

-57/5.7121 =a

-9.9788169 = a      then we substitute a to get the quadratic equation therefore f is

f(t) = -9.9788169(t-0.76)^2 +57
