Circumference = πd, where d = diameter
we know the wheel has a diameter of 27 inches, so the total circumference is 27π, and that's the arc length of one revolution.
there are 5280 feet in 1 mile and 12 inches in 1 foot.
so in 40 miles there are 40(5280)(12) inches.
and we also know that there are 60 minutes in 1 hour.
Given:
Container in the shape of two rectangular prism.
To find:
The volume of the container.
Solution:
The clear image of the container is attached below.
<u>Larger rectangular prism:</u>
Volume = length × width × height
= 8 × 5 × 10
= 400
Volume of larger rectangular prism = 400 in³
<u>Smaller rectangular prism:</u>
Volume = length × width × height
= 4 × 4 × 5
= 80
Volume of smaller rectangular prism = 80 in³
Volume of container = Volume of larger prism + Volume of smaller prism
= 400 in³ + 80 in³
= 480 in³
The volume of the container is 480 in³.
