The United States consumes 2.6 billion cases of bottled water per year. Assume that each case holds 24 ½-liter bottles. Each cas

e is 10.2 inches tall, 15.1 inches long and 8.3 inches wide.
If all of these cases were lined up end-to-end at the equator, how many times would they go around the earth? What would be the perimeter and area of the base of all of these cases together? The volume?
Note: The circumference of the earth’s equator is 24,901 miles. 1 mile = 5280 feet

So first find the circumfernece of the earth which is 24,901 times 5280 
use a calculator 
24,901 times 5280=131,477,280ft
1 ft=12 inches so 131,477,280 times 12=157,727,360 in
so 157,727,360 divide by the legnth of the case=1,577,727,360/15.1=104,485,255.62914 cases to go around the earth once so 
million=1000 thousand
billion=1000 million
billion=1,000,000,000
2.6 billion=2,600,000,000
so 2,600,000,000/104,458,255.62914=24.88 or rounded up <u>they would go around the earth close to </u><u>25</u><u> times</u>





AREA OF THE BASES
base=legnth times width so 15.1 times 8.3 =125.33 in^2
multiply 125.33 in^2 by 2,600,000,000 and get 325,858,000,000 in^2 or 3.25858 times 10^11=area of the bases

PERIMETER OF THE BASES
perimeter of the bases 2Legnth+2Width times 2.6 billion
2(15.1)+2(8.3)=46.8
46.8 times 2.6 billion=121,680,000,000 inches  or 1.2168 times 10^11= perimeter of all the bases

VOLUME
24 1/2 liter bottles means 24 times 1/2=12 liters in each pack 
2.6 billion times 12=<u>31,200,000,000</u> liters or 3.12 times 10^10

In ΔHIJ, the measure of ∠J=90°, IH = 65, HJ = 56, and JI = 33. What is the value of the sine of ∠I to the nearest hundredth?
solmaris [256]

Answer:

0.86

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw the triangle.

Since ∠J=90°, this is a right triangle, so we can use SOH-CAH-TOA to find sin∠I.

sin∠I = 56/65

sin∠I = 0.86

For how many positive values of n are both n3 and 3n four-digit integers?
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

No positive value of n

Step-by-step explanation:

we have to find out for how many positive values of n are both

n^3 , 3^n our-digit integers

Let us consider first cube

we get 4digit lowest number is 1000 and it has cube root as 10.

Thus 10 is the least integer which satisfies four digits for cube.

The highest integer is 9999 and it has cube root as 21.54

or 21 the highest integer.

Considering 3^n we get,

3^10 is having 5 digits and also 3^21

Thus there is no positive value of n which satisfy that both n cube and 3 power n are four digits.
