The value of the given cone with a volume of 144 has a width is 6 inches.

We have given that,

A box of cereal has a volume of 144 inches squared.

The height of the cereal box is 12 inches, and the depth is 2 inches.

The volume of cone = 144 inches squared.

height=12 inches

depth=2inches

<h3>What is the formula of the cube?</h3>

Area of a cube = V = L * W * H

L-length

W-width

H-height

We have to determine the width cereal box.

Plug the given values in the formula

V = L * W * H

144=2×12×width

Width=144/24

Width=6inches

Therefore the value of the width is 6 inches.

The least common denominator of two fractions is 20. If you subtract the two denominations, you get 1. What are the denominators

LekaFEV [45]

Steps
find the Least Common Multiple of the denominators (which is called the Least Common Denominator).

Change each fraction (using equivalent fractions) to make their denominators the same as the least common denominator.

Then add (or subtract) the fractions, as we wish!
your denominators stay the same so its 20

Two sides of a triangle are 12 and 15. Which inequality represents the solution to finding x, the third side.

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

the other side would be 15

Step-by-step explanation:

because 15 is bigger than 12 and the 12 is the bottom line and then the other line going up is 15 so it's equal.

2x^3-x^2-3x=210<br> the answer is 5 but I want to know why.

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

$x=5,\frac{-9+\sqrt{255}i }{4} ,\frac{-9-\sqrt{255}i }{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Move all terms to one side.

$2x^{3} -x^{2} -3x-210=0$

2) Factor $2{x}^{3}-{x}^{2}-3x-210$ using Polynomial Division.

1 - Factor the following.

$2x^{3} -x^{2} -3x-210$

2 - First, find all factors of the constant term 210.

$1,2,3,4,5,6,7,10,14,15,21,30,35,42,70,105,210$

3) Try each factor above using the Remainder Theorem.

Substitute 1 into x. Since the result is not 0, x-1 is not a factor..

$2*1^{3} -1^{2} -3*1-210=-212$

Substitute -1 into x. Since the result is not 0, x+1 is not a factor..

$2(-1)^{3} -(-1)^{2} -3*-1-210=-210$

Substitute 2 into x. Since the result is not 0, x-2 is not a factor..

$2*2^{3} -2^{2} -3*2-210=-204$

Substitute -2 into x. Since the result is not 0, x+2 is not a factor..

$2{(-2)}^{3}-{(-2)}^{2}-3\times -2-210 = -224$

Substitute 3 into x. Since the result is not 0, x-3 is not a factor..

$2\times {3}^{3}-{3}^{2}-3\times 3-210 = -174$

Substitute -3 into x. Since the result is not 0, x+3 is not a factor..

$2{(-3)}^{3}-{(-3)}^{2}-3\times -3-210 = -264$

Substitute 5 into x. Since the result is 0, x-5 is a factor..

$2\times {5}^{3}-{5}^{2}-3\times 5-210 =0$

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

⇒ $x-5$

4) Polynomial Division: Divide $2{x}^{3}-{x}^{2}-3x-210$ by $x-5$ .

$2x^{2}$ $9x$ $42$

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

$x-5$ | $2x^{3}$ $-x^{2}$ $-3x$ $-210$

$2x^{3}$ $-10x^{2}$

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

$9x^{2}$ $-3x$ $-210$

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

$42x$ $-210$

$42x$ $-210$

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

5) Rewrite the expression using the above.

$2x^2+9x+42$

$(2x^2+9x+42)(x-5)=0$

3) Solve for $x.$

$x=5$

4) Use the Quadratic Formula.

1 - In general, given $a{x}^{2}+bx+c=0$ , there exists two solutions where:

$x=\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac} }{2a} ,\frac{-b-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

2 - In this case, $a=2,b=9$ and $c = 42.$

$x=\frac{-9+\sqrt{9^2*-4*2*42} }{2*2} ,\frac{-9-\sqrt{9^2-4*2*42} }{2*2}$

3 - Simplify.

$x=\frac{-9+\sqrt{255}i }{4} ,\frac{-9-\sqrt{255}i }{4}$

5) Collect all solutions from the previous steps.

$x=5,\frac{-9+\sqrt{255}i }{4} ,\frac{-9-\sqrt{255}i }{4}$

Need help with math probelm if do 5 stars and brainly points

PtichkaEL [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

let's first convert feet to inches

4 ft = 48 inches ( width )

6.5 ft = 78 inches ( length )

12.5 ft = 150 inches ( height )

each cube is 1/4 x 1/4 x 1/4

x-axis ( length )

78 ÷ 1/4 = 78 x 4 = 312 cubes

y-axis ( width )

48 x 4 = 192 cubes

z-axis ( height )

150 x 4 = 600 cubes

the total number of cubes fit in the closet is :

312 x 192 x 600 = 35,942,400 cubes
