Answer:
7.6 rectangular prisms

Explanation:
1- getting volume of rectangular prism:
volume of rectangular prism = length * width * height
volume of rectangular prism = 4 * 2 * 2 = 16 ft³

2- getting the volume of the cylinder:
volume of cylinder = π * r² * h
volume of cylinder = π * (2.5)² * 6 = 117.75 ft³

3- Now we want to know how many rectangle prisms are required to hold the exact amount of hale as the cylinder.
This means that we want the volume of hale to be equal in the two situations.
Assume the number of prisms required is x
x * volume of prism = volume of cylinder
x * 16 = 117.75
x = 7.35 which is approximately 7.6 rectangular prisms

Hope this helps :)

Fiona divided 3x2 5x – 3 by 3x 2. the expression represents the remainder over the divisor.what is the value of a?
Pavel [41]
If Fiona is to divide the first expression by the second one, clearly only the first term of the first expression is divisible. The remaining terms of the fist expression will remain as the remainder. The remainder from the division done by Fiona should be 5x - 3.

What is the equation of a line that passes through the point (1, 8) and is perpendicular to the line whose equation is y=x2+3 ?
VladimirAG [237]
Important:  If you're discussing squares, please express "the square of x" as x^2 (not as x2).  

Please note that your y=x^2+3 is NOT a line.  I will assume (probably incorrectly!) that you meant y=2x+3.  The slope of this line is 2, so the slope of any line perpendicular to y=2x+3 is -1/2.

Now use the point-slope equation of a straight line:

y-8 = (-1/2)(x-1)   (answer)
