inches wide. If the clay weighs 0.09 pounds per cubic inch, what is the volume of the brick? Round your answer to the nearest integer.

The volume of the brick is

cubic inches.

  answer:

  write 548 as 500 + 40 + 8. multiply each addend by 5. then add the three products to get 2,740.

let's first notice, the center of the hyperbola is at the origin, since the focus points are equidistantly 3 units away from the origin, that also means that the distance "c" from the center to either focus is 3.

it should also be notable that, the traverse axis for this hyperbola is vertical, or namely over the y-axis and therefore, the positive fraction will be the one with y-variable.

the traverse "a" component or distance from the center to either vertex is not 2, is more than 2, so we can safely put it at √5 ≈ 2.24.
