Kendra is starting a science experiment. She will grow salt crystals in a clear plastic box. The inside of Kendra's box is 9 inches long and 5 inches wide. Kendra pours salt water into the box to a height of 4 inches. What is the volume of salt water in the box?

the answer is 375.5906

Step-by-step explanation:

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
