Ashipping container in the shape of a right rectangular prism has a length of 16 feet, a width of 8 feet, and a height of 4.5 feet. the container is completely filled with contents that weigh, on average, 0.50 pound per cubic foot. what is the weight, in pounds, of the contents in the container? a) 72 pounds b) 144 pounds c) 288 pounds d) 576 pounds

Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the container = 16 feet

Width of the container = 8 feet

Height of the container = 4.5 feet

Weight of the content = 0.50 pound per cubic foot.

Volume of the container = length × width × height = 16 × 8 × 4.5 = 576 feet³

Weight of the content in the container = 576 × 0.50 = 288 pounds

Therefore, Option C is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
