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>

Simplify,write equivalent expressions. 1/6(15a+20b)

lutik1710 [3]

1/6* (15a+20b)
= 1/6* 15a + 1/6* 20b (Distributive property)
= 2.5a + 10/3*b

The final answer is 2.5a+ 10/3b

Hope this helps~

The equation of a parabola is shown.

WARRIOR [948]

The axis of symmetry for this parabola is the x-axis. The general form of the equation is:
4p(x-h) = (y-k)^2
where the focus has the coordinates of (h+p,k)

Manipulating the given equation to the general form:
4(1/3)(x-7)^2 = (y - 0)^2

Therefore the coordinates of the focus is:
(7+(1/3),0)

The answer is A.) (71/3,0)
