The first thing you should do is calculate the volume of the prism.
 We have then:
 V = h * L ^ 2
 Where,
 L: side of the square base.
 h: height.
 Substituting we have:
 V = (0.5) * (1) ^ 2 = 0.5 feet ^ 3.
 Then, we can make the following rule of three:
 1.5 feet ^ 3 ---> 6
 0.5 feet ^ 3 ---> x
 Clearing x we have:
 x = (0.5 / 1.5) * (6) = 2 $
 Answer:
 it will cost Sara 2 $ to completely fill her planter with soil

Solve for x if the three angles of a triangle are: x, 45 degrees, and 5x degrees
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer: 22.5 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.

So we can set up an equation to solve for x.

x + 45 + 5x = 180.

Combine like terms of x:

6x + 45 = 180

Subtract 45 from both sides:

6x = 135

Divide both sides by 6:

x = 22.5 degrees
