The capacity of a building is 222,500 tons
We are given a volume of 160 fluid ounces of chemical which is added to a container that holds 120,000 gallons of water. Assuming that the chemical has the same density as water, we just need to convert 120,000 gallons to ounces.
A conversion factor is taken from literature, 1 gallon is equivalent to 128 fluid ounces. So 160 fluid ounces is only 1.25 gallons, thus occupying minimal space in the container. The employee could add more of the chemical in the container. He can actually add 15360000 fluid ounces in total.
<span>The <u>correct answer</u> is:
The midpoint of a segment.
Explanation<span>:
To construct a line parallel to another line through a given point, the first thing you do is fold the given line onto itself, making sure that the given point is on the fold. This is the same construction used to find the midpoint of a segment.
Unfold the paper, and the crease made with the fold creates a line through the given point and given line. Fold this new line (crease) onto itself, making sure the given point is in the fold. This is again the same construction used to find the midpoint of a segment, and this creates our parallel line through our given point.</span></span>
