Answer:

Volume = 480 cubic inches

Explanation:

We have the following relationships to work with

width w = h -3

length l = h + 4

area of base of prism a = l x w = 60  (1)

area of base in terms of h = (h-3)(h+4) =h² -3h + 4h -12 (2)

Setting (1) = (2) gives

h² + h -12 =60

h² + h -72 = 0

Factoring the LHS we get

(h+9)(h-8) = 0

The solutions for h are

h + 9 = 0 ==> h = -9

h - 8 = 0 ==> h = 8

Since h cannot be negative, h = 8 inches

Volume = base area x h = 60 x 8 = 480 cubic inches

<u>Note</u>

We do not have to calculate length and width separately, but if so,

w = 8 -3 = 5

l = 8 + 4 = 12

The trait of “freckles” is dominant and represented by A. No freckles is recessive and represented by a. A researcher crossed tw
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

It's wrong.

Explanation:

In the Punnett square, we will use F to represent the dominant freckles gene and f to represent the recessive lack-of-freckles gene. The first individual would have FF, because homozygous means that both alleles are the same. The second individual would have Ff, because heterozygous means that it has 2 different alleles. If the first individual passes down one of its "F" alleles and the second individual passes down its "F" allele, the offspring would have 2 dominant alleles, and the researcher's conclusion is disproven.

laura is supplied with 5 bolts (b) and 12 nuts (n). she attached the nuts to the bolts in a 2:1 ratio (n2b). which of the reacta
kolbaska11 [484]

Limiting reagents are the chemicals that limit the formation of the products in the reaction. Bolts will limit product formation.

<h3>What are limiting and excess reagents?</h3>

Limiting reagents are the chemical reactants that are present in less quantity and get consumed first hence limiting the product formation. In the above case, bolts are limiting reagents as they are less in number and limit the formation of the nut bolt attachment.

Excess reagents are chemicals that are present in more quantities and remain even after the product is formed. Hence, nuts are excess reagents as they are present in more quantities and will remain even if bolts are finished.

Therefore, bolts limit product formation.
