Answer: The new boxes are 14 ft3 larger.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to calculate the volume of each box and compare them.

Volume of a rectangular prism = base x height x length

Replacing with the values given:

Old boxes volume: 4 x 2 x 2 =16 cubic feet

New boxes' volume: 3 x 5 x 2 = 30 cubic feet

Subtraction the old boxes volume to the new boxes volume:

30 ft3- 16 ft3 = 14 ft3

The new boxes are 14 ft3 larger.

To estimate the height of a mountain, two students find the angle of elevation from a point (at ground level) b = 800 meters fro
Nady [450]

Answer: The height of the mountain is 1,331.4 meters (approximately)

Step-by-step explanation: From the information given, the students were standing at point b which is 800 meters from the base of the mountain and the angle of elevation from that point is 59°. Assuming that the ground is level, we can derive a right angled triangle from this set of details and hence we have triangle ABC, where angle β is the reference angle, (59 degrees), BC is the distance from the students to the base of the mountain (800 meters) and the line AC is the height of the mountain.

The line AC is the opposite, since angle B is the reference angle, therefore we shall use the trigonometric ratio as follows;

Tan β = opposite/adjacent

Tan 59 = AC/800

Tan 59 x 800 = AC

1.6643 x 800 = AC

1331.44 = AC

AC ≈ 1331.4

Therefore the height of the mountain is approximately 1,331.4 meters

Midway through the fundraiser, Mrs Little, the sponsor, discovers a container of buttermilk in the back of the fridge. It has 6
solong [7]

Answer: 6 recipes

Step-by-step explanation: Just divide the 6 cups of buttermilk by 7/8 because each recipe need 7/8 cup of butter milk. You will get a number like this 6.857142857142857 (there are probably more decimals that come after it.) But, all the numbers after the 6 are useless because more recipes can't be made with those because you need at least 7/8  cups for one recipe. So, this will make 6 recipes. Hope this helps!

nadezda [96]

Answer: -12m^3n^3

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{1}{4}\left(8mn\right)\left(-6m^2n^2\right)

=-\frac{1}{4}\cdot \:8mn\cdot \:6m^2n^2

=-\frac{1}{4}\cdot \:48mnm^2n^2

=-\frac{1}{4}\cdot \:48m^3nn^2

-\frac{1}{4}\cdot \:48m^3n^3

=-12m^3n^3
