Answer:
a) We are given the length of both legs. We need to find the hypotenuse.
b) 40^2 + 71.5^2 = X^2
c) 40^2 + 71.5^2 =
1600 + 5,112.25 = 6,712.25 in.
d) 6,712 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
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
