Answer:

The volume of water and air inside the plastic ice cube is 3000 mm³

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets described the figure

- It consists of two identical rectangular pyramids stuck together

in their bases

- The dimensions of the base are 15 mm and 20 mm

- The height of ice cube is 30 mm

∴ The height of each pyramid = 30 ÷ 2 = 15 mm

* Lets talk about the volume of the rectangular pyramid

- The pyramid has a rectangular base and 4 triangular faces

- We have formulas to calculate the volume of the pyramid.

- To find the volume, we use the formula V = (1/3)AH, where

A = area of the pyramid's base and H = height of the pyramid

∵ The dimensions of the base are 20 mm and 15 mm

∴ A = 20 × 15 = 300 mm²

- The height of the pyramid is 15 mm

∵ H = 15 mm

∵ V = 1/3(AH)

∴ V = 1/3(300 × 15) = 1500 mm³

- The ice cube made from two identical rectangular pyramids

∴ The volume of the ice cube = 2 × 1500 = 3000 mm³

- The volume of the water and the air inside the ice cube equal

the volume of the ice cube

* The volume of water and air inside the plastic ice cube is 3000 mm³

The expression m divided by 4 is teh distance each person runs in a relay race that is m miles. How far does each person run in

Dovator [93]

Answer:

Each person runs 3 miles in a relay race.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance of Relay race m = 12 miles.

The expression m divided by 4 is the distance each person runs in a relay race that is m miles.

Each person runs in relay race = $\frac{m}{4}$

Now given the total distance of the relay race is 12 miles.

i.e. value of m = 12 miles

Now substituting the value of m in above equation we get;

Each person runs in relay race = $\frac{m}{4} = \frac{12}{4}=3 \ miles$

Hence each person runs 3 miles in a relay race.

Find the value of x in the triangle shown below: 2.5 6.5 Choose 1 answer: I =6 3 = V48.5 x = 9 x = V9

Andreyy89

Answer:

<u>x = 6 units</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that, By pythagoras theorem,

Hypotenuse2 = base2 + perpendicular2

Given, Hypotenuse = 6.5

perpendicular = 2.5

base = x

So, by putting the values,

6.52 = 2.52 + x2

42.25 = 6.25 + x2

36 = x2

Hence, <u>x = 6 units</u>

The area of a rectangle is 42 square inches. the length is 7 inches.what is the perimeter of the rectangle?

andrew11 [14]

In order to find the perimeter, we need to have the length and the width. We are told that the area of the rectangle is 42. We will use that in the area formula, length times width, to solve for w. 42 = 7w so w = 6. The length is 7 and the width is 6. The perimeter formula for a rectangle is P = 2L + 2W. We have both the length and the width now, so we fill in accordingly. P = 2(7) + 2(6). And P=14+12. The perimeter then is 26 inches.

HW 5.2

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

The probability of no correct answers is 0.125 = 12.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each question, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is answered correctly, or it is not. The probability of a question being answered correctly is independent of any other question, which means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
