A new golf bag has a compartment that is roughly a rectangular prism that has dimensions of 6 inches by 8 inches by 9 inches. Ho

w many golf balls will
fit in the compartment if a golf ball has a diameter of 1.7 inches? (Reminder: You can assume that for random packing space 190% of the volume of the
sphere is needed to pack the spheres and Volume of Sphere = 4/3 pim3)
21 balls
88 balls
63 balls
57 balls

Answer:

The dimensions of the rectangular prism is 5 inches by 7 inches by 8 inches. Volume of the rectangular prism is expressed as

Length of the base × width of the base × height of the prism.

Volume = 5×7×8 = 280 inches ^2

Each golf ball has the shape of a sphere. The volume of a sphere is expressed as

Volume of sphere = 4/3πr^3

The golf ball has a diameter of 1.7 inches. It means that the radius of the golf ball is 1.7/2 = 0.85

Volume of each golf ball = 4/3 × 3.14×0.85^3

= 2.57 inches^3

The number of golf balls that will fit into the compartment would be

Volume if compartment/ volume of each golf ball. It becomes

280/2.57 = 109 golf balls

What is the equation of the graph below?

Answer:

A. y = sine (x + 90 degrees)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = cosine(x) is a curve that crosses the y-axis at y = 1 and completes one cycle at 360 degrees.

sine(x) have the same curve than cosine(x), but translated 90° to the right respect cosine(x)

f(x + c) translates f(x) horizontally c units to the left.

Then, sine(x + 90) is equivalent to cosine(x)

Craig Campanella and Edie Hall both have night jobs. Craig has every thirteenth night and Edie has every Fifth night off. How of

Andrews [41]

Craig has every 13th night and Edie has every 5th night off.

You have to find LCM - the Least Common Multiple that is the smallest ("least") number that both 13 and 5 will divide into.

Since numbers 13 and 5 are both prime, then LCM(13,5)=13·5=65.

This means, they will have the same every 65th night off.

Jeff earned his pilot's license and flew to visit his brother 200 miles away. A headwind of 20 mph slowed down the plane's speed

lora16 [44]

<h2>Plane's speed without wind i s 117.68 mph</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We have speed of plane without wind is x.

Distance to brothers place = 200 miles.

A headwind of 20 mph slowed down the plane's speed on the first leg of the trip

Speed to brothers place = x - 20

We have

Distance = Speed x Time

$200=(x-20)\times t_1\\\\t_1=\frac{200}{x-20}$

A tailwind of 20 mph sped up the plane on the return trip

Speed of return trip = x + 20

We have

Distance = Speed x Time

$200=(x+20)\times t_2\\\\t_2=\frac{200}{x+20}$

The entire trip took 3.5 hours.

That is

$t_1+t_2=3.5\\\\\frac{200}{x-20}+\frac{200}{x+20}=3.5\\\\200x+4000+2000x-4000=3.5(x-20)(x+20)\\\\400x=3.5x^2-1400\\\\7x^2-800x-2800=0\\\\\texttt{x = 117.68mph or x =-3.40mph}$

Plane's speed without wind i s 117.68 mph
