I'm working on the same thing right now and I'm using every resource in my hands right now to find a solution. I will edit this post when I have more. If you need any more help I have completed the previous activity and most of this one.
EDIT:
Ok so I checked with somebody who is pretty good with math and they said that 5x=5x would be right. Not too sure but that's what I'm putting.
I put EVERYTHING for this assignment in comments down below. Geez all of this for 5 freakin points.
Answer:
The cost of wasted nitric acid is $187.02
Step-by-step explanation:
Since it is given that specific gravity of Nitric Acid is 1.42 Thus the density of nitric acid is

Now from the basic relation of mass volume and density we have

Since the mass of the nitric acid is given to be 5.112 kg = 5112 grams
Thus the volume of nitric acid is

Now we know that 1000 cubic centimeters euals 1 litrer
Thus the calculated volume in liters is

Thus the cost of acid spilled equals
The area of the square is 9, the area of all the semi circles added together is 15.7, when you add them together you get 24.7
