Assuming that the sides of the box are square (having 90° angles on all four corners), then it should be relatively easy for us to find the length of the box, given the perimeter and the length of one side.
We know the length of all sides combined is 42 inches, and that the length of one side is 9 inches. With a rectangular prism, the length of one side is the same as the length of the opposite side, so there are two sides that measure 9 inches.
All we need to do to find the measure of both the other sides' lengths is subtract the known lengths from the total length.

9 + 9 = 18

42 - 18 = 24

So the rest of the side lengths added together is 24 inches.
There are two sides left, so all we have to do is divide by 2 to find the length of the box.

24 / 2 = 12

The length of Kate's jewelry box is 12 inches.
Hope that helped =)

Kelly has a rectangular fish aquarium that measures 18 inches long, 8 inches wide, and 12 inches tall.
BigorU [14]

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:

A_T=2A_1+2A_2=2×96 in²+2×216 in²=624 in²

In which step did Viet make an error?
Yuri [45]

Answer:

Step 1

Step-by-step explanation:

When moving the 4 to the other side, Viet was supposed to subtract 4 from each side, leaving 0 on the left, and 102-4 on the other side. 102-4=98, not 106. Viet added when he was supposed to subtract.
