Ok, so we can fill the part of the box that corresponds to the 8x4 inches with the boxes that are 1 cubic inch - that wound be 8x4, that is 32 such boxes.

then the rest would be 8x \frac{1}{2} inches, that is 4 cubic inches.

In order to fill in 4 cubic inches with  \frac{1}{8} inches boxes we calculate:

4/ \frac{1}{8}=4*8=32  So it's also 32 such small boxes!

How are perpendicular lines and interesting line alike? How are they different?
sleet_krkn [62]
Perpendicular lines and intersecting lines are the same because they both describe 2 lines that cross one another...

They are different because perpendicular lines cross one another in a specific way.  The intersection of perpendicular lines forms 90 degree angles, while intersecting lines just describes 2 lines crossing.  It could be at any angle.

Rewrite the expression -2a(a+b-5)+3(-5a+2b)+b(6a+b-8)
erastovalidia [21]
First, think of it as 3 different expressions.Go through them one at a time. There is:
-2a(a+b-5)                    ]            +3(-5a+2b)          ]        +b(6a+b-8)
Multiply everything out.] Multiply everything out.  ]Multiply everything out
-2a x a = -2a²               ] +3 x -5a = -15a               ] +b x 6a = 6ab 
-2a x b = -2ab              ] +3 x 2b = 6b                    ] +b x b = b²
-2a x -5 = 10a              ] -15a + 2b = -15a+2b       ] +b x -8 = -8b                  -2a² + -2ab + 10a =  ]                                         ] 6ab + b² + -8b =
-2a²+-2ab+10a            ]                                         ] <span>6ab+b²+-8b
</span>Now add everything up, but before that, remember these algebraic rules:
∞A.S.S. Add Same Signs, meaning positive add positive or negative add negative equals a positive number or 0. E.g 1+1=1 and -1+-2= 1
∞S.I.D. Subtract If Different, meaning a positive number add a negative number always equals a negative number or 0. E.g 1 + -2 = -1
∞You can only add up "similar terms", meaning you can add 'terms' ending in 'a' for example with another 'term' ending in 'a'. However. you cannot add a term ending in 'a' to an 'ab' or an 'a²'.
Following these rules, -2a²+-2ab+10a+-15a+2b+<span>6ab+b²+-8b = 
</span>4ab-5a-6b+b²-2a²

Hope that helps you and that it wasn't too tricky to understand. :)

If a vertical pole 30 ft tall casts a shadow 8ft long, how long would the shadow of 40-ft pole be at the same time and place
TEA [102]
Since it as at the same time and place.

Let x be the length of the shadow of the 40-ft pole.

The ratio from 30 and 8 would have to be the same as 40 and x.

30:8  =  40:x

30/8 = 40/x    Cross multiply

30x = 40*8

x = 40*8 / 30 = 32/3 = 10.67

Length of shadow for 40ft  is 10.67 ft.
