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

ira [324]

Answer:

\large\boxed{y=\dfrac{2}{3}x-4}

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-3y=12\qquad\text{subtract}\ 2x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\2x-2x-3y=12-2x\\\\-3y=12-2x\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-3)}\\\\\dfrac{-3y}{-3}=\dfrac{12}{-3}+\dfrac{-2x}{-3}\\\\y=-4+\dfrac{2}{3}x

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

AB = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

AB = AD

AB² + 4² = (AB + 2)²

AB² + 16 = AB² + 4AB + 4

combine like terms:

4AB = 12

AB = 3
