Each dimension has to be 1" or bigger, otherwise the cube won't fit. _________ WAIT ! The container doesn't have to be rectangular, and that opens up a lot more possibilities. The smallest possible rectangular container is a little tiny cardboard cube whose dimensions are all 1", just like the contents. But you could also keep it in a container shaped like a pyramid, a cylinder, an egg, etc. If the container is a sphere, then its radius has to be at least 0.866 inch.
Answer:
m = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
- 36 - m = 8(4+2m)
- 36 - m = 32+16m (to remove m from the left side, we need to add m to both sides)
- 36 = 32+17m (subtract 32 from both sides)
- 68 = 17m (divide by 17 on both sides)
-4 = m
other leg = 12 cm
using Pythagoras' identity with x as the side to be found, then
x = √(13² - 5² ) = √(169 - 25 ) =√144 = 12
Let's use the equation 5x - 20 = 10 as an example for this.
To work backwards from this, you would add the same amount to each side.
You want to isolate the 5x so that you can solve for x.
To do that, you would add 20.
But again, you must add and subtract the same amount to both sides.
So it would look a bit like this:
5x - 20 + 20 = 10 + 20
That would simplify to 5x = 30, or in other words, x = 6.
Basically, you isolate the multiple of the variable then divide the answer to the equation from that multiple.
In the example, 5 is the multiple and after isolating it, the answer was 30.
30 ÷ 5 = 6
x = 6
Hope this helps :)
