When you triple the height of the box, it can hold (900 x 3) = 2,700 pieces.

Then triple its length, and it can hold (2,700 x 3) = 8,100 pieces.

Then triple its width, and it can hold (8,100 x 3) = 24,300 pieces.

When you triple the dimensions of a 3D object, it has 27 times its original volume.  (900 x 27) = 24,300 .

Answer: 24300 toothpicks

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the box can be written as:

V0 = W*L*H

where W is the width, L is the length and H is the height.

We know that in V0 we can put 900 toothpicks.

Now, if we triply each of the dimensions we have that:

V = 3W*3L*3H = (3*3*3)*W*L*H

and we know that W*L*H = V0

V = 27*V0

and if in V0 we can put 900 toothpicks, then in V we can put 27 times that amount, this is:

27*900 = 24300 toothpicks

Hey can you please help me posted picture of the question
Andrews [41]
If we observe the graph it crosses x-axis at the following points:
1) x = - 2
2) x = - 5

This means, x+ 2 and x + 5 are the factors of the polynomial. A polynomial can be expressed as the product of its factors. So we can express the given polynomial as (x + 2)(x + 5)

Thus the answer to above question is option C

A. 33.9<br> B. 57.7<br> C. 46.3<br> D. 85.7
CaHeK987 [17]
The answer is A.  Here's how you get it.  Law of cosines here looks like this:
17^2 = 22^2 + 30^3 - [2(22)(30)cosA]; which simplifies to 289=484+900-1320(cosA). Doing that math gives you 289 = 1384 - 1320(cosA), and -1095 = -1320(cosA). Divide both sides by -1320 to get
.829545 = cos A.  Now use the inverse cosine on your calculator to get the missing angle measure.
