Solution:
1 kilogram = 1000 grams
Each can weighs 40 grams
Number of cans = {1000}/{40}

1000 ÷ 40 = 25

Volume of one room = Length × Width × Height
Volume of one room = 14 ft × 11 ft × 8 ft
Volume of one room = 1232 ft³
Total volume of water flooding the area = Volume of one room × Number of rooms
Total volume of water flooding the area = 1232 ft³ × 3
Total volume of water flooding the area = 3696 ft³

Volume = Weight / Weight per cubic inch
Volume = 91 pounds / 0.28 pounds per cubic inch
Volume 325 cubic inches
Length = Volume / Cross-sectional area
Length = 325 cubic inches / 5 square inches
Length 65 inches

Weegy: You need first to calculate the volume of the pyramid. Do you have the formula ? User: it is one third times base times height Weegy: Ok so do you multiply the volume by the density and you get the weight of the pyramid ! that's it ! User: so what do you multiply by what Weegy: the density by the volume of the pyramid. Watch out for the units ! User: yes but I still don't know the answer Weegy: 2.21 pounds User: thank you Weegy: You're welcome [smile] (More)

To underestimate the amount that will be received back, we need to round down each amount to the next quarter.

- $.53 rounds down to $.50
- $1.85 rounds down to $1.75
- $3.05 rounds down to $3.00
- $.15 rounds down to $.00
- $2.70 rounds down to $2.50

Adding these amounts gives us:

$.50 + $1.75 + $3.00 + $.00 + $2.50 = $7.75

Therefore, the underestimated amount that will be received back is $7.75.

The two sides of the right triangle are the length and the width of the room, and the hypotenuse is the distance between the two corners.

Using the formula, we get:

Hypotenuse^2 = Length^2 + Width^2

Hypotenuse^2 = (10 feet)^2 + (12 feet)^2

Hypotenuse^2 = 100 + 144

Hypotenuse^2 = 244

Taking the square root of both sides, we get:

Hypotenuse = 244

Hypotenuse 15.62 feet

Therefore, the distance between the two corners of the room is approximately 15.62 feet.
