A shipping container is in the shape of a right rectangular prism with a length of 2 feet, a width of 1.5 feet, and a height of

3.5 feet. The container is completely filled with contents that weigh, on average, 0.49 pound per cubic foot. What is the weight of the contents in the container, to the nearest pound?

Answer:

5 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

the volume of the container = 2*1.5*3.5= 10.5cubic foot.

Density of the content = 0.49 pound per cubic foot.

As already know,

Density = mass/ volume.

therefore, mass = density * volume.

mass of the content = 0.49 * 10.5 =5 pounds approximately

Are these lines parallel perpendicular or neither

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

start but putting each line into the standard line format

2x-y=-5

-y=-2x-5

y=2x+5

x+2y=-6

2y=-x-6

y=-(1/2)x-3

if lines are parallel the slopes would be the same. 2 is not equal to -1/2

if lines are perpendicular the slope of one would be the opposite inverse of the other.

negative inverse of 2 = - (1/2)

so the lines are perpendicular

The hypotenuse of a right triangle has endpoints A(4, 1) and B(–1, –2). On a coordinate plane, line A B has points (4, 1) and (n

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

$(-1,1),(4,-2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The hypotenuse of a right triangle has endpoints A(4, 1) and B(–1, –2).

To find: coordinates of vertex of the right angle

Solution:

Let C be point $(x,y)$

Distance between points $(x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2)$ is given by $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

$AC=\sqrt{(x-4)^2+(y-1)^2}\\BC=\sqrt{(x+1)^2+(y+2)^2}\\AB=\sqrt{(4+1)^2+(1+2)^2}=\sqrt{25+9}=\sqrt{34}$

ΔABC is a right angled triangle, suing Pythagoras theorem (square of hypotenuse is equal to sum of squares of base and perpendicular)

$34=\left [ (x-4)^2+(y-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (x+1)^2+(y+2)^2 \right ]$

Put $(x,y)=(-1,1)$

$34=\left [ (-1-4)^2+(1-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (-1+1)^2+(1+2)^2 \right ]\\34=25+9\\34=34$

which is true. So, $(-1,1)$ can be a vertex

Put $(x,y)=(4,-2)$

$34=\left [ (4-4)^2+(-2-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (4+1)^2+(-2+2)^2 \right ]\\34=9+25\\34=34$

which is true. So, $(4,-2)$ can be a vertex

Put $(x,y)=(1,1)$

$34=\left [ (1-4)^2+(1-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (1+1)^2+(1+2)^2 \right ]\\34=9+4+9\\34=22$

which is not true. So, $(1,1)$ cannot be a vertex

Put $(x,y)=(2,-2)$

$34=\left [ (2-4)^2+(-2-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (2+1)^2+(-2+2)^2 \right ]\\34=4+9+9\\34=22$

which is not true. So, $(2,-2)$ cannot be a vertex

Put $(x,y)=(4,-1)$

$34=\left [ (4-4)^2+(-1-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (4+1)^2+(-1+2)^2 \right ]\\34=4+25+1\\34=30$

which is not true. So, $(4,-1)$ cannot be a vertex

Put $(x,y)=(-1,4)$

$34=\left [ (-1-4)^2+(4-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (-1+1)^2+(4+2)^2 \right ]\\34=25+9+36\\34=70$

which is not true. So, $(-1,4)$ cannot be a vertex

So, possible points for the vertex are $(-1,1),(4,-2)$
