Answer:

Length = 16 feet.

Width = 7 feet

Height = 8 feet

Volume = 896 cubic feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a rectangular prism boiler room. 112 square feet is the floor area of the room.

Let the length of the room is L feet and width is W feet.

So, LW = 112 ...... (1)

Now, given that L = 2 + 2W ........ (2) , hence, from equation (1) we get  

(2 + 2W)W = 112

⇒ 2w + 2w² = 112

⇒ W² + W - 56 = 0

⇒ (W +8)(W - 7) = 0

⇒ W = 7 feet. {Neglecting the negative root as W can not be negative}

Hence, from equation (2) we get L = 2W + 2 = 16 feet.

Now, 1 foot more than the width is the height H.

Hence, H = 7 + 1 = 8 feet.

Therefore, the volume of the room is, V = LWH = 16 × 7 × 8 = 896 cubic feet. (Answer)

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

t = 0.875

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

<u>Brand A</u>            <u>Brand B</u>

n_ 1= 12               n_2 = 12

\bar x_1 = 21.8            \bar x_2 = 18.9

\sigma_1 = 8.7              \sigma_2 = 7.5

Required

Determine the test statistic (t)

This is calculated as:

t = \frac{\bar x_1 - \bar x_2}{s\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1} +  \frac{1}{n_2}}}

Calculate s using:

s = \sqrt{\frac{(n_1-1)*\sigma_1^2+(n_2-1)*\sigma_2^2}{n_1+n_2-2}}

The equation becomes:

s = \sqrt{\frac{(12-1)*8.7^2+(12-1)*7.5^2}{12+12-2}}

s = \sqrt{\frac{1451.34}{22}}

s = \sqrt{65.97}

s = 8.12

So:

t = \frac{\bar x_1 - \bar x_2}{s\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1} +  \frac{1}{n_2}}}

t = \frac{21.8 - 18.9}{8.12 * \sqrt{\frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{12}}}

t = \frac{21.8 - 18.9}{8.12 * \sqrt{\frac{1}{6}}}

t = \frac{21.8 - 18.9}{8.12 * 0.408}}

t = \frac{2.9}{3.31296}}

t = 0.875

Write as a numerical expression: “ Six less than twice a number is four “
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

2x - 6 = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, let's assume the number is x

Then, twice the number is 2 times x = 2x

6 less than twice the number is four

2x - 6 = 4

2x - 6 + 6 = 4 + 6

2x = 10

2x/2 = 10/2

x = 5

Help!!! Carla earns $6.25 per hour working at a store. When she gets her paycheck she repays her brother $40. She has at least $
lora16 [44]
What i did was add 40 to 120 to get 160. then i devided 160 by the 6.25 she got per hour and i got 25.6 and rounded to 26 which would end up being the least amount of hours she could’ve worked. so 26 is the answer i’m pretty sure

The volume of a sphere can be found using the formula V = πr . If the sphere has a diameter of 10x y z mm, what is the volume of
viva [34]

Answer:

<em>500πx³y³z³ </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a sphere = 4πr³

r is the radius of the sphere

Given

Diameter of the sphere = 10xyz mm

Radius = diameter/2

Radius = 10xyz/2

Radius = 5xyz

Substitute the radius into the formula

Volume of the sphere = 4π(5xyz)³

Volume of the sphere = = 4π(125)x³y³z³

Volume of the sphere = 500πx³y³z³

<em>Hence the volume of the sphere is 500πx³y³z³ mm³</em>
