A rectangular prism had a volume of 252 cubic centimeters. The length of the prism is 14 centimeters and the width of the prism

is 6 centimeters. The height of the prism was changed from 3 centimeters to 6 centimeters to create a new rectangular prism. The other dimensions stayed the same. What do you know about the volume of the new prism

<h2>Answer:</h2>

A prism is a solid object having two identical bases, hence the same cross section along the length. Prism are called after the name of their base. A rectangular prism is a solid whose base is a rectangle. Multiplying the three dimensions of a rectangular prism: length, width and height, gives us the volume of a prism:

V=L\times W\times H

FOR THE ORIGINAL PRISM WE HAVE THE FOLLOWING DIMENSIONS:

L=14cm \\ \\ W=6cm \\ \\ H=3cm

In fact, the volume is 252cm^3 because:

V=14\times 6\times 3 \therefore V=252cm^3

Now the height of the prism was changed from 3 centimeters to 6 centimeters to create a new rectangular prism, therefore:

FOR THE NEW PRISM WE HAVE THE FOLLOWING DIMENSIONS:

L=14cm \\ \\ W=6cm \\ \\ H=6cm

So the new volume is:

V=14\times 6\times 6 \therefore V=504cm^3

<h3><em>What do we know about the volume of the new prism?</em></h3>

<em>Well, the volume has increased from </em>252cm^3 \ to \ 504cm^3 <em>and since</em> 504=2\times 252 <em>we can say that the new volume is two times the original volume.</em>

A submarine was traveling along the surface of the ocean and decides to dive. If the dive angle is 28° with the horizontal surfa
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

1.5 nautical miles

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached diagram.

The submarine starts to dive at point A and diving along AB.

If the distance traveled underwater i.e. AB = 1.7 Nautical miles and C is the point directly above its current position at B.

Then Δ ABC is a right triangle having ∠ BAC = 28° {Given}

So, using trigonometry we can write  

\cos 28 = \frac{AC}{AB} = \frac{AC}{1.7}

⇒ AC = 1.7 \times \cos 28 = 1.5 nautical miles.

Therefore, the surface distance that the submarine travels is 1.5 nautical miles. (Answer)

can some one explain to me how fractions work who ever explains it well gets brainliest, adding, subtracting, multiplying, divid
Ludmilka [50]
Adding: When adding fractions, you want to make sure that the denominator is the same for both fractions. If they are already the same, just add both the numerators to get the answer. For example,
\frac{3 }{5}  +  \frac{1}{5}  =  \frac{4}{5}
If the denominator is different in both fractions, you have to find the least common denominator, or LCD. The LCD is the smallest number that both denominators can multiply into. For example, say you need to find
\frac{1}{6}  +  \frac{1}{3}

Multiply both the numerator and the denominator of (1/3) by 2 to get (2/6). This way, the denominators are the same and you can find the answer.
\frac{1}{6}  +  \frac{2}{6}  =  \frac{3}{6}
In the case that one denominator does not go into the other, find the smallest number they both multiply into. For example,
\frac{1}{3 }  +  \frac{1}{4}
Here, the smallest number that both 4 and 3 multiply into is 12. Multiply both fractions by the correct amount to make both denominators 12. It would then become
\frac{4}{12}  +  \frac{3}{12}  =  \frac{7}{12}
Subtraction: follow the same rules as addition, except subtract the numerators instead of adding them.

Multiplication: multiply both numerators and both denominators.
\frac{2}{3}  \times  \frac{4}{5}  =  \frac{8}{15}
Division: Flip one of the fractions and multiply.
\frac{2}{3}   \div   \frac{4}{5}
Becomes
\frac{2}{3}  \times  \frac{5}{4}  =  \frac{10}{12}  =  \frac{5}{6}
Hope this explains it all. Let me know if you have any questions :)
