Answer:

the volume of sand is 50 ft^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem bothers on the mensuration of solid shapes, rectangular prism.

Given data

Length  l= 4 ft Width w= 5ft\\Height h = 3ft

if the sandbox is filled with sand of 2\frac{1}{2 } ft deep the volume of the sand in the box will be calculated based on the the depth of the sand

converting the depth of sand from mixed fraction to proper fraction we have 2\frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{2}

the expression for the volume of a rectangular prism is

volume of sand = length * width* height

substituting our data into the expression we have

volume of sand= 5*4 * \frac{5}{2} \\volume of sand = \frac{100}{2} \\volume of sand = 50 ft^{3}

A line segment whose endpoints are (2,6) and (8,y) is perpendicular to a line whose slope is -4. What is the value of y?
Mariulka [41]
If the line segment is perpendicular to a line with the slope of -4, that means the line segment has a slope of 1/4.

First let's make an equation for the line segment using the slope of 1/4 and the point at (2,6) to find the final piece, the y-intercept

y = mx + b
6 = 1/4(2) + b
6 = 2/4 + b
24/4 = 2/4 + b
22/4 = b

y = 1/4 x + 22/4
6 = 1/4(2) + 22/4
6 = 2/4 + 22/4
6 = 24/4
6 = 6 <-- proves that this equation is correct

Now you may plug in the x to find y. ( 8 , y )
y = 1/4(8) + 22/4
y = 8/4 + 22/4
y = 30/4 = 15/2 = 7.5
