Answer:

C) multiply the area of the base by the height

Step-by-step explanation:

Prism is a three dimensional figures.

The volume of a prism calculated by multiplying the area of the base and the height.

Volume of a prism = Base area * height.

For example:

Volume of a rectangular prism = base area * height = (lw)*h = lwh cubic units

Volume of a cube = Base area * height = (a*a)*a = a^2*a = a^3 cubic units

Volume of a cylinder = Base area * height = (πr^2)*h = πr^2 h

The answer is C) multiply the area of the base by the height

We're looking for C(h), where h is the hundreds of shirts. The fact that they cost "$500 for each additional 100 t-shirt" tells us the slope is 500. Knowing that 1 hundred costs 750, we could use point-slope at this point: (C - 750)/(h - 1) = 500C - 750 = 500h - 500C(h) = 500h + 250 We can check that C(1) = 750 and C(2) = 1250, as we expect. I'll leave it to you to evaluate C(5).

Maggie graphed the image of a 90° counterclockwise rotation about vertex A of △ABC. Coordinates B and C of △ABC are (2, 6) and (

Answer:

A(2, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

I find it useful to graph the given points. The center of rotation is at the place where the perpendicular bisectors of BB' and CC' meet. That point is ...

A = (2, 2).

The graph shows you the slope of BB' is 1, so its perpendicular bisector will have a slope of -1. The midpoint of BB' is (2-2, 6+2)/2 = (0, 4). This is the y-intercept of the line, so the perpendicular bisector of BB' has equation ...

y = -x +4

The slope of CC' is -1/3, so its perpendicular will have a slope of -1/(-1/3) = 3. The midpoint of CC' is (4+1, 3+4)/2 = (5/2, 7/2). In point-slope form the equation of the perpendicular bisector of CC' is ...

y -7/2 = 3(x -5/2)

2y -7 = 3(2x -5) . . . . multiply by 2

2(-x+4) -7 = 3(2x -5) . . . substitute for y

-2x +1 = 6x -15 . . . . .eliminate parentheses

16 = 8x . . . . . . . . . . add 2x+15

x = 2 . . . . . . divide by 8

y = -2+4 = 2 . . . . from the equation for y

The intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of BB' and CC' is the center of rotation:

A = (2, 2)
