1/2 (Base x height) = area
1/2 (4*x)=10
2x=10
X=5
The height is 5 units
Answer:
The weight of the brick is 60 ounce to the nearest ounce
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are asked to calculate the weigh of Lou’s brick given the dimensions of the shape of the brick and the weight of the clay.
To answer this question quite aptly, we need to know exactly the volume of the rectangular prism given the dimensions we have in the question.
To calculate this volume , we simply use the measurements we have to get it.
mathematically the volume of a rectangular prism is simply V = w * h * l
where w , h and l are width, height and length respectively.
now let’s calculate!
V = 3.5 * 2.25 * 8 = 63 inches^3
Now we need to know what the brick weigh in ounce. We already have the weight of the clay. now this is equal to the volume of the brick divided by the weight of the clay.
Mathematically this is = 63/1.055 = 59.72 ounce which is 60 ounce to the nearest ounce
<em>4℉.</em>
What we know about Degrees is that there is a<em> </em><u><em>Positive</em></u> type and a <u><em>negative</em></u> type.
(i.e: 30℉ is <u><em>positive</em></u> and -30℉ is <u><em>negative</em></u>.)
If the temperature was -4℉ at 7AM, then it is negative. If it goes up by an amount that is more than 4 then that negative will go up to a positive temperature. In this case: At 9AM it was 8° <u><em>warmer</em></u>.
<u><em>Warmer</em></u><em> is a </em><u><em>keyword</em></u><u>.</u> If it is warmer by an amount, Negative temperatures <u><em>will go up to a positive</em></u> and positive temperature <u><em>will just go up</em></u>. If it gets cooler, negative temperatures <u><em>will go down further</em></u> and positive temperatures <u><em>will go down to a negative</em></u>.
So lets work out this problem with our newfound knowledge.
-4° F at 7AM
8° warmer at 9AM
-4 + 8 = 4.
<em>The temperature was 4° at 9AM.</em>

Generally, x <span>• x is accepted to mean "x times x" or "x multiplied by x"
and x+x means "x plus x" or "x added to x"
let's try by subsituting numbers for them
if we can find one case where the statement "x+x is the same as x</span><span>•x" is false, then it is not true
let's try x=4
x+x=x</span><span>•x
4+4=4</span>•<span>4
8=16
false
so it is not true
(x+x is equal to 2x, so therefor if we were to solve 2x=x</span><span>•x, we would get that it is only true for x=2 and x=0)
it is not always true
