Lou has a solid clay brick in the shape of a rectangular prism with a length of 8 inches, a width of 3.5 inches, and a height of

2.25 inches. If the clay weighs 1.055 oz/in^3, how much does Lou's brick weigh, to the nearest ounce?

Answer:

The weight of the brick is 60 ounce to the nearest ounce

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the weigh of Lou’s brick given the dimensions of the shape of the brick and the weight of the clay.

To answer this question quite aptly, we need to know exactly the volume of the rectangular prism given the dimensions we have in the question.

To calculate this volume , we simply use the measurements we have to get it.

mathematically the volume of a rectangular prism is simply V = w * h * l

where w , h and l are width, height and length respectively.

now let’s calculate!

V = 3.5 * 2.25 * 8 = 63 inches^3

Now we need to know what the brick weigh in ounce. We already have the weight of the clay. now this is equal to the volume of the brick divided by the weight of the clay.

Mathematically this is = 63/1.055 = 59.72 ounce which is 60 ounce to the nearest ounce

Answer:

60 ounce

Step-by-step explanations:

The volume of a rectangular prism is length multiplied by width and the height.

And if the width is 3.5 inches

Length is 8 inches

Height of 2.25 inches

V = 2.25 × 8 × 3.5

= 63 in³

And since the clay weighs 1.055 oz/in³,the total weight of the clay brick will be derived by dividing the volume of the brick by its weight per in³

63/1.055

= 59.7 and to the nearest whole number = 60 ounce

Where v is the final velocity (in m/s), u is the initial velocity (in m/s), a is the acceleration (in m/s²) and s is the distanc
drek231 [11]

Answer:

C. 178−−−√ m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

v = final velocity (in m/s)

u = initial velocity (in m/s)

a = acceleration (in m/s²)

s = distance (in meters).

Find v when u is 8 m/s, a is 3 m/s², and s is 19 meters

Using the 3rd equation of motion :

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

v^2 = 8^2 + 2(3)(19)

v^2 = 64 + 114

v^2 = 178

Take the square root of both sides :

√v^2 = √178

v = √178

What needs to be corrected in this construction of a line parallel to AB passing through C?
monitta

Answer;

C) The second arc should be centered at C.

Explanation;

Assuming the goal is to construct a line parallel to AB that passes through given point C.

-Draw a line through C and across AB at an angle creating D.

- With the compass width about half of DC, and center D, draw the first arc to cross both lines.

-Using the same compass width , draw the second arc with center C.

-Then set the compass width to the lower arc (the first arc)

- Move the compass to the second arc. Mark off an arc to make point E

-Draw a straight line through C and E

Thus the line CE will be parallel to line AB

Item 1 A bag contains 7 blue cards, 4 green cards, 6 red cards, and 8 yellow cards. You randomly choose a card. a. How many poss
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

4 possible outcomes

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The probability of an event is the ratio of the size of the event space to the size of the sample space.  

The size of the sample space is the total number of possible outcomes  

The event space is the number of outcomes in the event you are interested in.  

so  

Let

x------> size of the event space

y-----> size of the sample space  

so

P=\frac{x}{y}  

In this problem

<em>The probability of choose a blue card is </em>

x=7

y=7+4+6+8=25

substitute

P=\frac{7}{25}

<em>The probability of choose a green card is </em>

x=4

y=7+4+6+8=25

substitute

P=\frac{4}{25}

<em>The probability of choose a red card is </em>

x=6

y=7+4+6+8=25

substitute

P=\frac{6}{25}

<em>The probability of choose a yellow card is </em>

x=8

y=7+4+6+8=25

substitute

P=\frac{8}{25}

The sum of the probabilities of the 4 possible outcomes  is equal to

\frac{7}{25}+\frac{4}{25}+\frac{6}{25}+\frac{8}{25}=\frac{25}{25} ----> represent the 100%
