A rectangular prism has a width of 51 ft and a volume of 144 ft3. Find the volume of a similar prism with a width of 17 ft. Roun

meriva

Answer:

$5.3\ ft^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar shapes with scale factor $k$ have proportional volumes with coefficient $k^3$ i.e.

$\dfrac{V_{large}}{V_{small}}=k^3,$

where

$k=\dfrac{\text{width of large prism}}{\text{width of small prism}}.$

Since

$\text{width of large prism}=51\ ft,\\ \\\text{width of small prism}=17\ ft,$

then

$k=\dfrac{51}{17}=3.$

Hence,

$\dfrac{144}{V_{small}}=3^3\Rightarrow V_{small}=\dfrac{144}{27}=\dfrac{16}{3}=5\dfrac{1}{3}\approx 5.3\ ft^3.$

Which set of polar coordinates describes the same location as the rectangular coordinates (-3,3)

Readme [11.4K]

To convert from rectangular coordinates (x,y) to polar coordinates (r, θ), the following equations should be used:

r = sqrt( x^2 + y^2)
<span>θ = tan^-1 (y/x)
</span>
Substituting (-3,3) accordingly to the equations, we obtain r equal to 3*sqrt(2) and θ equal to -π/4. Thus, the polar coordinates equivalent to (-3,3) is (3*sqrt(2), -π/4).
