A shipping container is in the shape of a right rectangular prism with a length of 13.5 feet, a width of 4 feet, and a height of

7.5 feet. The container is completely filled with contents that weigh, on average, 0.56 pound per cubic foot. What is the weight of the contents in the container, to the nearest pound?

Answer: 227 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, the volume of a rectangular prism can be calculated with the following formula:

V=lwh

Where "w" is the width of the rectangular prism, "l" is the length and "h" is the height of the rectangular prism.

In this case you know that:

l=13.5\ ft\\\\w=4\ ft\\\\h= 7.5 ft

Substituting values into the formula, you get that the volume of the shipping container is:

V=(13.5\ ft)(4\ ft)( 7.5 ft)\\\\V=405\ ft^3

You know that it was completely filled with  contents that weigh 0.56 pound per cubic foot, approximately. Then, its density is:

d=0.56\ \frac{lb}{ft^3}

Since:

d=\frac{m}{V}

Where "m" is mass and "V" is volume, you can susbstitute values and solve for "m":

0.56\ \frac{lb}{ft^3}=\frac{m}{405\ ft^3}\\\\(0.56\ \frac{lb}{ft^3})(405\ ft^3)=m\\\\m\approx227\ lb

Answer:

-9 = 0.45m

Step-by-step explanation:

0.45m - 9 = 0.9m

  • ^ Subtract 0.45m from BOTH sides. so 0.9m - 0.45m... etc
  • Why? So that we can make the equation less complicated. Our goal is to isolate the variable m to be on one side of the "=" sign by itself
  • That will equal to:

-9 = 0.45m     <-- ANSWER

Find the value of x in each case:
Margaret [11]

Answer:

x = 11°

4x = 44°

Step-by-step explanation:

Line BC || Line EF... (given)

BF is transversal.

\angle BFG + \angle BFE = 180\degree\\.. (straight \: line \: \angle 's) \\ + \angle BFE = 180\degree\\\angle BFE = 180\degree-147\degree \\\angle BFE = 33\degree\\

\angle BED is exterior angle of \angle EBF

Hence, by remote interior angle theorem of triangle, we have:

m\angle BED = m\angle EBF + \angle BFE  \\4x = x + 33\degree \\4x - x = 33\degree \\3x = 33\degree \\x = \frac{33}{3}\\\huge \purple {\boxed {x = 11\degree}} \\4x = 4\times 11\degree \\\huge \orange{\boxed {4x = 44\degree}}
