A shipping container will be used to transport several 100-kilogram crates across the country by rail. The greatest weight that

can be loaded into the container is 27500 kilograms. Other shipments weighing 6800 kilograms have already been loaded into the container. Write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine xxx, the number of 100-kilogram crates that can be loaded into the shipping container.

Answer:

x ≤ 207 crates

Step-by-step explanation:

Greatest weight of the container = 27,500 kilograms

Weight of other shipment = 6,800 kilograms

Weight of a crate = 100 kilograms

Number of 100-kilogram crates that can be loaded into the shipping container = x

The inequality is

27,500 ≤ 6800 + 100x

27,500 - 6800 ≤ 100x

20,700 ≤ 100x

x ≤ 20,700 / 100

x ≤ 207 crates

You can use the factors of the volumes 24, 27 and 48:
For example:
8 by 3 by 1 is a total volume of 24
or if you know that 4 times 2 is 8:
4 by 2 by 2
and so on

Which description does NOT guarantee that a quadrilateral is a square?
Ivahew [28]
Let's go through the choices one by one

------------------------------------------
Choice A

If all sides are congruent, then this figure is a rhombus (by definition). If all angles are congruent, then we have a rectangle. Combine the properties of a rhombus with the properties of a rectangle and we have a square.

In terms of "algebra", you can think
rhombus+rectangle = square

Or you can draw out a venn diagram. One circle represents the set of all rhombuses; another circle represents the set of all rectangles. The overlapping region is the set of all squares. The overlapping region is inside both circles at the same time.

So we can rule out choice A. This guarantees we have a square when we want something that isn't a guarantee.

------------------------------------------
Choice B

If we had a parallelogram with perpendicular diagonals, then we can prove that we have a rhombus (all four sides congruent). However, we don't know anything about the four angles of this parallelogram. Are they congruent? We don't know. So we can't prove this figure is a rectangle. The best we can say is that it's a rhombus. It may or may not be a rectangle. There isn't enough info about the rectangle & square part.

This is why choice B is the answer. We have some info, but not enough to be guaranteed everytime.

------------------------------------------
Choice C

This is a repeat of choice A. Having "all right angles" is the same as saying "all angles congruent". This is because "right angle" is the same as saying "90 degrees". So we can rule out choice C for identical reasons as we did with choice A.

------------------------------------------
Choice D

As mentioned before in choice A, if we know that a quadrilateral is a rectangle and a rhombus at the same time, then the figure is also a square. This is always true, so we are guaranteed to have a square. We can cross choice D off the list.

------------------------------------------

Once again, the final answer is choice B

The cone had a radius of 4.5 inches and a height of 6 inches. What is the volume of this cone?
pochemuha

Answer:

125.8983

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for volume of a cone: v= (1/3)(3.14)(radius squared)(height) so v = (1/3)(3.14)(20.25)(6) = 125.8983
