Answer;
- Line segment
Explanation;
"from earth to moon" implies endpoints at both locations and it is thus a line segment
A line extends forever in both directions, a line segment is just part of a line. It has two endpoints, and a ray starts at one point and continues on forever in one direction.
When placing the piece of aluminium in water, the level of water will rise by an amount equal to the volume of the piece of aluminum.
Therefore, we need to find the volume of that piece.
Density can be calculated using the following rule:
Density = mass / volume
Therefore:
volume = mass / density
we are given that:
the density = 2.7 g / cm^3
the mass = 16 grams
Substitute in the equation to get the volume of the piece of aluminum as follows:
volume = 16 / 2.7 = 5.9259 cm^3
Since the water level will rise to an amount equal to the volume of aluminum, therefore, the water level will rise by 5.9259 cm^3
So to get the volume, you're going to multiply all three together, but you have to make all the units the same first. The answer wants ft³, so you want to convert them all to feet.
height = 109 ft, so that's fine already. Awesome.
width = 710 yd, but that's an easy conversion to feet. Three feet equal one yard, so just multiply (710 yd) by (3 ft/1 yd) and that'll give you the width in ft.
length = 634 m
This one is a little tricker, but same principle. First convert meters to centimeters, like this: (634 m)(100 cm/1 m). Then take that number in cm and convert it into inches, knowing that 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters. So multiply the inches you have by (1 in/2.54 cm). Then you'll change that number into feet by dividing it by twelve, since there are twelve inches in each foot.
Now you have all three measurements in feet. Just multiply them together to get the volume in ft³ and you're good to go! :)
