A shipping container is in the shape of a right rectangular prism with a length of 3.5 feet, a width of 10.5 feet, and a height

of 6.5 feet. The container is completely filled with contents that weigh, on average, 0.73 pound per cubic foot. What is the weight of the contents in the container, to the nearest pound?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The shipping container has the shape of a rectangular prism. Therefore, we would apply the formula for determining the volume of a rectangular prism which is expressed as

Volume = length × width × height

From the information given,

Length = 3.5 feet

Width = 10.5 feet

Height = 6.5 feet

Volume of container = 3.5 × 10.5 × 6.5 = 238.875 feet³

If the container is completely filled with contents that weigh, on average, 0.73 pound per cubic foot, then the weight of the contents in the container is

0.73 × 238.875 = 174 pounds

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

  x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Extend line AB so that it intersects ray CE at point G. Then angles BGC and BAD are "alternate interior angles", hence congruent.

The angle at B is exterior to triangle BCG, and is equal to the sum of the interior angles at C and G:

  138 = (376 -23x) +(x^2 -8x)

Subtracting 138 and collecting terms we have ...

  x^2 -31x +238 = 0

For your calculator, a=1, b=-31, c=238.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

You will find that the solutions to this are x = {14, 17}. You will also find that angle BCE will have corresponding values of 54° and -15°. That is, the solution x=17 is "extraneous." It is a solution to the equation, but not to the problem.

For x=14, the marked angles are A = 84°, C = 54°.

Alessandro wrote the quadratic equation –6 = x2 + 4x – 1 in standard form. What is the value of c in his new equation?
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

To write it in standard form, we set the equation equal to 0.  To do this, we add 6 to each side:

-6+6 = x² + 4x - 1 + 6

0 = x² + 4x + 5

The related function is

y = x² + 4x + 5

The value of c in this function is 5.
