Respuesta :
The weight of the smallest rectangular block is 1400 pounds.
What is density?
The density refers to the heaviness of an object. It is the ratio of mass to volume.
Then we have
Density = Mass / Volume
A sculptor is planning to order a rectangular block of composite stone to sculpt a lion.
The sculptor anticipates that the lion will be 5 feet long, about 2 feet wide and at the tallest part of the lion's body, have a height of 3.5 feet.
The composite stone weighs 40 pounds per cubic foot.
To the nearest cubic foot, estimate the weight of the smallest rectangular block that the sculptor must purchase in order to create his statue.
Then the weight of the smallest rectangular block will be
Mass = density x volume
The volume will be
V = 5 x 2 x 3.5
V = 35 cubic feet
Then the weight will be
Mass = 40 x 35
Mass = 1400 pounds
