1. A child wants to fill up a box with snow.
He can only carry
the box if it weighs
under 30 pounds. The
dimensions of the
box are 30in. by 24
inches by 24 inches.
Each cubic inch of
snow weighs .004
pounds. If the child
fills the box entirely
with snow, will he be
able to carry the box?

answer is 67%

step-by-step explanation:

answer: b

step-by-step explanation:

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.

how many friends does he have? i think some of the information got cut off in the problem.
