Jed bought a generator that will run for 2 hours on a liter of gas. The gas tank on the generator is a rectangular prism with dimensions 20 cm by 15 cm by 10 cm, as shown. If Jed fills the tank with gas, how long will the generator run? Show how you arrived at your answer. [1000 cm 3= 1 liter] Explain your answer.

The generator will run for 6 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the volume of the gas tank that is on the generator. I am told that the gas tank is a rectangular prism that has the dimensions of 20 cm, 15 cm, and 10cm.

Area of any prism = height * width * length

Area of prism = 20 cm * 15 cm * 10 cm = 3,000 cm cubed

I am told the important info that 1,000 cm cubed = 1 liter

Therefore, 3,000 cm cubed = 3 liters

I am also told that the generator will run for 2 hours on 1 liter of gas

Lets make a ratio table:

Hours the generator will run for : liters of gas

                                                   2 : 1

                                                   6 : 3

the generator will run for 6 hours.

proofs involving isosceles triangles often require special consideration because an isosceles triangle has several distinct properties that do not apply to normal triangles.(more about triangle types) therefore, when you are trying to prove that two triangles are congruent, and one or both triangles, are isosceles you have a few theorems that you can use to make your life easier.

step-by-step explanation:

an isosceles triangle has two congruent sides and two congruent angles. the congruent angles are called the base angles and the other angle is known as the vertex angle. ∠bac and ∠bca are the base angles of the triangle picture on the left. the vertex angle is ∠abc
