General Idea:

We need to find the volume of the small cube given the side length of the small cube as 1/4 inch.

Also we need to find the volume of the right rectangular prism with the given dimension (the height is 4 1/2, the width is 5, and the length is 3 3/4).

To find the number of small cubes that are needed to completely fill the right rectangular prism, we need to divide volume of right rectangular prism by volume of each small cube.

Formula Used:

Volume \; of \; Cube = a^3 \; \\\{where \; a \; is \; side \; length \; of \; cube\}\\\\Volume \; of  \; Right \; Rectangular  \; Prism=L \times W \times H\\\{Where  \; L \; is \; Length, \; W \; is \; Width, \;and  \; H \; is \; Height\}

Applying the concept:

Volume of Small Cube:

V_{cube}= (\frac{1}{4}  )^3= \frac{1}{64} \; in^3\\\\V_{Prism}=  3 \frac{3}{4}  \times 5 \times  4 \frac{1}{2}  = \frac{15}{4}  \times \frac{5}{1}  \times \frac{9}{2}  = \frac{675}{8}  \\\\Number \; of \; small \; cubes= \frac{V_{Prism}}{V_{Cube}}   = \frac{675}{8}  \div \frac{1}{64}  \\\\Flip \; the \; second \; fraction\; and \; multiply \; with \; the \; first \; fraction\\\\Number \; of \; small \; cubes \;= \frac{675}{8} \times \frac{64}{1}   = 5400

Conclusion:

The number of small cubes with side length as 1/4 inches that are needed to completely fill the right rectangular prism whose height is 4 1/2 inches, width is 5 inches, and length is 3 3/4 inches is <em><u>5400 </u></em>

Y= 3x + 3. Use rise (how many it goes up or down) and divide it by run (how many it goes left or right) that number is your slope (aka M/ the number that goes with x. The number without the x attached is just where the line crosses the y axis

Strike441 [17]

Diagram? There is no diagram given.

a.

i =  \frac{180(n - 2)}{n}

i =  \frac{180(12 - 2)}{12}  =  \frac{180(10)}{12}  =  \frac{1800}{12}  \\ i = 150\degree

Cannot solve b without the diagram.

A scale mode of a building is 8 in. by 12 in. The scale is 1 in:15 ft. What are the dimensions of the actual building? (*you nee
VikaD [51]

Answer:

120 ft by 180 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

If every inch is 15 feet multiply 8 inches by 15 and then 12 by 15 to get your dimensions

15 * 8 = 120

15 * 12 = 180

120 x 180 feet

Convert to inches if needed.

1440 inches by 2160 inches
