You're looking for the volume of the prism. The dead giveaway there is that you're looking for "cubic" measurement. Cubic measures are indicators that the volume is being determined, just like "square feet" or inches, etc indicates area is being determined. The volume for this prism is found by multiplying the length times the width times the height. In decimal form, 45×30×40=54,000. But that is in cubic inches and we want cubic feet. So we will use dimensional analysis to convert that. Setting up the DA looks like this, keeping in mind that there are 12 cubic inches in 1 cubic foot: 
. The label of cubic inches cancels out leaving us with cubic feet, and doing the division there gives us 54,000/(12*12*12) which is 31.25 cubic feet.
write an equation that is perpendicular to x - 3y =3 and passes through the point (5,-9) in slope-intercept form.

9514 1404 393
Answer:
y = -3x +6
Step-by-step explanation:
The perpendicular line will have the coefficients of x and y swapped (and one of them negated), and will have a constant appropriate to the point the line needs to go through.
The equation will look like ...
x -3y = 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . given line
3x +y = constant . . . . . . perpendicular line
where "constant" can be found by substituting for x and y.
3x +y = 3(5) +(-9)
3x +y = 6 . . . . equation in standard form
To put this in slope-intercept form subtract 3x:
y = -3x +6
