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>

Find the missing side or angle. Round to the nearest tenth. C=53° B= 80° a=2 b=[ ? ]​
Degger [83]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  b ≈ 2.7

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing angle A is ...

  A = 180° -53° -80° = 47°

The law of sines tells you ...

  b/sin(B) = a/sin(A)

  b = sin(80°)×2/sin(47°) ≈ 2.6931

Side b is about 2.7 units.

1. Determine the following set of adjustments to the equation then draw the graph !!
suter [353]

Answer:

y = -1 and u = 3.333

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equations are :

3u + y = 9 ...(1)

3u-5y = 15 ...(2)

Subtract equation (2) from (1).

3u + y-( 3u-5y)= 9 -15

y+5y = -6

6y = -6

y = -1

Put the value of y in equation (1).

3u + (-1) = 9

3u-1 = 9

3u = 10

u = 10/3

u = 3.333

The attached figure shows the graph for the above equations.

If F, G, and H are the midpoints of the sides of triangle JKL , FG = 37, KL = 48, and GH = 30 find each measure
seraphim [82]

Answer:

The measure of JK is 60

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the points F, G, and H are the midpoints of the sides of triangle JKL , FG = 37, KL = 48, and GH = 30.

The point F is midpoint of JK, point G is midpoint of KL and the point H is midpoint of LJ as shown in figure .

According to the midpoint theorem, the line connecting the midpoints of two sides is parallel to the third and its length is half of the third si
