The length of a rectangular prism is three times as long as its width, and its height is two feet longer than its width. If the

A rectangular prism is a polyhedron with six rectangular faces. To fully define a rectangular prism, one must know its length, width and height. The volume of a rectangular prism is expressed as the product of its dimensions - length, width and height. To calculate for its width, we use the volume formula.

V = l x w x h
From the given, we have:
l = 3w
h = 2 + w
V = 135 ft^3

Substituting the given expressions,
135 ft^3 = 3w (w) (2+w)
135 ft^3 = 6w^2 + 3w^3

Solving for w, we obtain the following values:
w1= 3
w2 = 2.5 + 2.96i
w3 = 2.5 - 22.96i

Since width should not have a negative value, the value of w should be 3 ft.

Prove {0,2,0,2,0,2,...} does not converge
ElenaW [278]
Recall that a sequence x_n is convergent if and only if x_n is also a Cauchy sequence, which means to say that for any \varepsilon>0, we can find a sufficiently large N for which

|x_m-x_n|

whenever both m and n exceed N.

But this never happens if we choose m=n+1 and 0; under these conditions, we have

|x_m-x_n|=|x_{n+1}-x_n|=2\not

Therefore x_n is not a Cauchy sequence and hence does not converge.

A boat, which moves at 29 miles per hour in water without a current , goes 825 miles upstream and 825 miles back again in 58 hou
Igoryamba

Answer:

  4 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Travel time is proportional to distance and inversely proportional to speed. If c represents the speed of the current in miles per hour, an equation for the total trip time is ...

  825/(29 -c) +825/(29 +c) = 58 . . . . . . hours travel time

  825(29 +c) +825(29 -c) = 58(29 -c)(29 +c)

  58c² -928 = 0 . . . . . . . rearrange to standard form

  58(c -4)(c +4) = 0 . . . . factor

Values of c that satisfy this equation are 4 and -4. For the purpose here, we'll choose the positive solution.

The speed of the current is 4 miles per hour.

Joanie runs the concession stand for the school's baseball games. At each game, the best selling items are pretzels and hot dogs
Scilla [17]

The number of pretzels and hot dog sales will be 33 and 48.

<h3>What is the solution to the equation?</h3>

The distribution of weights to the variables involved that establishes the equilibrium in the calculation is referred to as a result.

Let x be the number of pretzels and y be the number of hot dogs.

Joanie runs the concession stand for the school's baseball games.

At each game, the best-selling items are pretzels and hot dogs.

Pretzels are $3 each, and hot dogs are $2 each.

Today she sold 15 more hot dogs than pretzels and made $195 in total sales. Then the equations will be

y = x + 15    ....1

3x +2y = 195    ...2

From equations 1 and 2, then we have

3x + 2(x + 15) = 195

3x + 2x + 30 = 195

5x = 165

x = 33

Then the value of y will be

y = 33 + 15

y = 48

Then the number of pretzels and hot dog sales will be 33 and 48.

More about the solution of the equation link is given below.

A right triangle has a 30o angle. the leg adjacent to the 30o angle measures 25 inches. what is the length of the other leg
adelina 88 [10]
Since the triangle has a 30° angle and a right angle which is 90°, this triangle must be a 30 - 60 - 90 triangle, which is a triangle with special properties. The length of the leg adjacent to the 30° angle is equal to the √3 times x where x is the length of the angle adjacent to the 60<span>° angle. Here is a visual representation:

The price of a house is originally listed at $225,000. The owners are having a hard time selling it and decide to reduce the pri
Darina [25.2K]
Percent decrease : (original number - new number) / original number..*100
                            = (225,000 - 191,250) / 225,000.....* 100
                            = 33,750 / 225,000....* 100
                            = 0.15 * 100
                            = 15% decrease <==
