Straws are shipped into a box with dimensions of 6.0x6.0x8.0 inches. each straw is 3/8 inches wide and 7 and 3/4 inches long. how many straws could be shipped into a box without squeezing any straws?

256

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's see the height of the box (8 inches) is long enough for one straw (7 inches and 3/4) but not enough for 2... so there could be only one layer.

Now the box is a prism with a square base (6 inches each side).

How many straws can we fit on one side?  We have to divide the width of the box by the width of a straw.  

We can fit 16 straw per 6-side side of the box... Since the box is 6x6 inches, we can then fit 16 x 16 straws in it... 256 total.

The answer is kite.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, just looking at the definition of a kite, we can see that it lines up with Mr. Tesoro's description and drawing of the quadrilateral. A kite has one right angle that meets up witht two equal lines. The opposite pair of lines, that are much longer, don't meet up to be a right angle. The definitions line up, so there's your match; the anser is kite.
