Answer:
a) The maximum amount of water the aquarium can hold is 1728 in³.
b) The cover has to be 624 in² big.
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The maximum volume of water that the aquarium can have is the same as the volume of the aquarium:
V=L×W×H=18 in × 8 in × 12 in= 1728 in³
b) The protective covering is used on the four walls of the aquarium. We have to find the areas of the four walls:
One of them is given by the multiplication of the width and the height:
A₁= W×H= 8 in × 12 in=96 in²
The other area is given by the multiplication of the length and the height:
A₂= L×H= 18 in × 12 in= 216 in²
As the fish aquarium is rectangular the area of the walls is given by:
=2×96 in²+2×216 in²=624 in²
Answer:
Pete: 39, Linda: 42
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose Pete has x dollars. If he has 3 dollars less than Linda, then Linda has 3+x dollars. Together, they have 81 dollars:
x+3+x=81
2x+3=81
2x=78
x=39
Since Pete has x dollars, and x=39, he has $39.
Linda has 3+x, which is 39+3 = $42

Answer:
72
Step-by-step explanation:
there are 12 inches per foot, so if five feet is equal to 60 inches then just add 12 and you get 72. 6 feet would be equal to 72 inches
RS => y - 5 = (8 - 5)/(1 - (-1)) (x - (-1))
y - 5 = 3/2 (x + 1) => slope = 3/2
ST => y - 8 = (-2 - 8)/(7 - 1) (x - 1)
y - 8 = -10/6 (x - 1) = -5/3 (x - 1) => slope = -5/3
TU => y - (-2) = (0 - (-2))/(2 - 7) (x - 7)
y + 2 = 2/5(x - 7) => slope = 2/5
UR => y = 5/(-1 - 2) (x - 2)
y = -5/3 (x - 2) => slope = -5/3
The median is the line joining the midpoints of the non-parallel sides.
Midpoint of RS = ((-1 + 1)/2, (5 + 8)/2) = (0, 13/2)
Midpoint of TU = ((7 + 2)/2, -2/2) = (9/2, -1)
Equation of the line joining (0, 13/2) and (9/2, -1) is given by y - 13/2 = (-1 - 13/2)/(9/2) x
y - 13/2 = (-15/2)/(9/2) x
y - 13/2 = -15/9x
18y - 117 = -30x
30x + 18y = 117
