On moving day, Jorge needs to rent a truck. The length of the cargo space is 12 ft, and the height is 1 ft less than the width.

The brochure indicates that the truck can hold 504 ft3. What are the dimensions of the cargo space? Assume that the cargo space is in the shape of a rectangular solid.

Answer:

12ft \times7ft \times6ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that truck can hold = 504 ft^{3} i.e.

Volume, V = 504 ft^{3}

Length of cargo space = 12 ft

Let width of cargo space = w ft

As per question statement:

Let height of cargo space = (w-1) ft

To find: The Dimensions of Cargo Space

Formula for Volume of Cargo Space:

V = Length \times Width \times Height

Putting the given values and conditions:

504 = 12 \times w \times (w-1)

\Rightarrow w(w-1) = \dfrac{504}{12}\\\Rightarrow w^{2} -w = 42\\\Rightarrow w^{2} -w - 42=0\\\Rightarrow w^{2} -7w +6w -42 =0\\\Rightarrow w(w -7) +6(w -7) =0\\\Rightarrow (w -7)(w+6) = 0\\\Rightarrow w =7, -6

Dimensions can not be negative, so width, w = 7 ft

Height = (w-1) = 7-1 = 6 ft

So, the dimensions are 12ft \times7ft \times6ft.

Whats 1/7 + 3/4 ?<br> Please help me?
Katen [24]

Answer:

25/28

Step-by-step explanation:

28 is the greatest common factor, found by multiplying 7 by 4 (the denominators)

1/7 = 4/28

3/4 = 21/28

21/28 + 4/28 = 25/28

Suppose you decided to keep flipping a coin until tails came up, at which
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

B. 6.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

For each time that the coin is tosse, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it comes up tails, or it does not. The probability of coming up tails on a toss is independent of any other toss. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

Fair coin:

Equally as likely to come up heads or tails, so p = 0.5

Probability that the first tails comes up on the 4th flip of the coin?

0 tails during the first three, which is P(X = 0) when n = 3.

Tails in the fourth, with probability 0.5. So

p = 0.5P(X = 0)

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

p = 0.5P(X = 0) = 0.5*(C_{3,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{3}) = 0.0625

0.0625 * 100 = 6.25%

Rounding to the nearest tenth of a percent, the correct answer is:

B. 6.3%

Anyone know this I need help
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

option D

Step-by-step explanation:

we have a right triangle

we know

c^2=a^2+b^2

c=hypotenuse

c=52 cm

a=48 cm

b= 20 cm

we  substitute in the equation c^2=a^a+b^2

so we have

52^2=48^2+20^2

52= sqrt(48^2+20^2)

52= sqrt(2304+400)

52= sqrt(2704)

52cm=52cm

so c=52 cm

so the option D is the correct answer

The measurement of one angle of a right triangle is 34°.
Svetllana [295]
The third angle is 56 degrees because it is a right <u>triangle</u>, so the three angles will add up to 180 degrees.  Since it is a right triangle, you know one angle is 90 degrees.  All you have to do is add 90 and 34, and then subtract that from 180 to get your third angle.
