Answer:
256
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's see the height of the box (8 inches) is long enough for one straw (7 inches and 3/4) but not enough for 2... so there could be only one layer.
Now the box is a prism with a square base (6 inches each side).
How many straws can we fit on one side? We have to divide the width of the box by the width of a straw.
We can fit 16 straw per 6-side side of the box... Since the box is 6x6 inches, we can then fit 16 x 16 straws in it... 256 total.

Answer:
Slope of this line is given by:
<em>Aaron’s rate for mowing lawns is 0.5 acres per hour</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that time is tracked by Aaron related to x coordinate.
and the area of land mowed in acres is related to y coordinate.
Two of his points are given as:
(3, 1.5) and (5,2.5)
We know that the coordinates are represented in the form of (x,y)
i.e. first coordinate represents x coordinate and
second coordinate represents y coordinate.
So, it can be observed that:
Change in x coordinate =
i.e. total time taken is 2 hours.
Change in y coordinate =
i.e. total land mowed taken is 1 acre.
In other words, <em>it takes 2 hours for Aaron to mow 1 acre of land.</em>
So, "option 1) It takes Aaron about 1 hour to mow 2 acres." is incorrect.
<u>Rate of mowing</u> lawn is the <em>land mowed by Aaron in 1 hour</em>.
Land mowed in 2 hours = 1 acre
Land mowed in 1 hours = acre i.e. 0.5 acre
Also, slope of a line is given as:
Here
As per formula:
So, option 2) Aaron’s rate for mowing lawns is 0.5 acres per hour.
Given that,
In <u>triangle TPQ, </u>
- RS || PQ,
- RS = 3 cm,
- PQ = 6 cm,
- ar(∆ TRS) = 15 sq. cm
As it is given that, <u>RS || PQ</u>
So, it means
⇛∠TRS = ∠TPQ [ Corresponding angles ]
⇛ ∠TSR = ∠TPQ [ Corresponding angles ]
<u>Now, We know </u>
Area Ratio Theorem,
This theorem states that :- The ratio of the area of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of the squares of corresponding sides.
