The volume of the shape is 6 cubic units

<h3>How to determine the volume of the shape?</h3>

<u>Method 1</u>

From the figure, we can see that:

There are 6 cubes in the figure
The dimensions of the cubes are equal
The volume of each cube is 1 cubic unit

So, the volume of the shape is

Volume = Number of cubes * Volume of each cube

Substitute the known values in the above equation

Volume = 6 * 1

Evaluate

Volume = 6

<u>Method 2</u>

From the figure, we can see that:

There are 6 cubes in the figure
2 cubes at the top and 4 at the bottom
The dimensions of the cubes are equal
The volume of each cube is 1 cubic unit

So, the volume of the shape is

Volume = Top cubes + Bottom cubes

This gives

Volume = 2 * Volume of each cube + 4 * Volume of each cube

Substitute the known values in the above equation

Volume = 2 * 1 + 4 * 1

Evaluate

Volume = 6

Hence, the volume of the shape is 6 cubic units

a rectangle has a length of (x+3) centimeters and a width of 1/2x centimeters. If the perimeter is 24 centimeters, what is the l

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

The length of the rectangle is 9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The length of rectangle(l) = (x+3) cm and a width of rectangle (w) = $\frac{1}{2} x$ cm a

Also, perimeter of rectangle is 24 cm.

Perimeter of rectangle is to add the lengths of all the four sides.

Perimeter of rectangle (P) is given by;

P=2(l+w)

Substituting the value of P = 24 cm , l = (x+3) cm and w = $\frac{1}{2} x$

then,

$24 = 2 (x+3+\frac{1}{2} x)$

Divide by 2 both sides of an equation;

$12 = x+3+\frac{1}{2}x$

Combine like terms;

$12 =\frac{3x}{2} +3$

Subtract 3 from both the sides we get;

$12-3 = \frac{3x}{2} +3-3$

Simplify:

$9 =\frac{3x}{2}$

Multiply both sides by $\frac{2}{3}$ we get

$x = 9 \times \frac{2}{3} = 3 \times 2 = 6$

Therefore, length of rectangle(l) = (x+3) = 6+3 = 9 cm

What is 7 2/6 plus 8 5/6

yulyashka [42]

7 2/6 + 8 5/6
= (7 x 6 + 2)/6 + (8 x 6 + 5)/6
= (42 + 2)/6 + (48 + 5)/6
= 44/6 + 53/6
= (44 + 53)/6
= 97/6
= 16 1/6
