Answer:

4.8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Since length and width of base is 3 and 2 respectively, we find the diagonal of the base with pythagorean theorem.

3^2+2^2=h^2\\9+4=h^2\\13=h^2\\h=\sqrt{13}

This hypotenuse is the base of a triangle with height as the height of the prism and hypotenuse being the hypotenuse of the prism.

So we can again use pythagorean theorem to solve for the height of the prism (let height of prism be x)

(\sqrt{13} )^2+x^2=6^2\\13+x^2=36\\x^2=36-13\\x^2=23\\x=\sqrt{23}

To the nearest tenth, height is 4.8 feet

Tia cut 4 meter 8 centimeter wire into 10 equal pieces. Marta cut 540 centimeter wire into 9 equal pieces . How much longer is o
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

19.2 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Tia cut a 4 meter and 8 centimeter wire, converting this measure to centimeters

4m + 8 cm = 400cm + 8cm =408 cm

and she cut it into 10 equal pieces, thus each piece measures:

\frac{408cm}{10}=40.8cm.

Martha has a wire of 540 centimeter wich she cutted into 9 equal pieces, so each piece measures:

\frac{540cm}{9} =60cm

The difference between the two wires is:

60cm - 40.8cm=19.2cm
