Question

I think scientists are people who love solving mysteries. We all look at things and think "What's does that mean?" Scientists are people who investigate it. So let's try to have a mystery all our own. I know some of you are saying "This whole class is a mystery!" 1cm 2 Gypsum crystal 2.856 mm thick from Brookville, Saline County, Kansas Remember the caves? Gypsum crystals can grow in very neat geometric shapes. 1)(2pts) Use the ruler on the image to geometrically calculate the volume of the crystal in mm(assuming the shape to be a perfect parallelogram). Report your answer to the correct number of significant figures. Type equation here.

Answer 1

Base of parallelogram = 18 mm

Height of parallelogram = 9 mm

Thickness of parallelogram = 2.856 mm

Volume of parallelogram = 18*9*2.856

V = 462.672 mm3 . . . . . . . . Answer.
