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.

How can I compare two fractions with the same numerator

You first have to see if they have the same common denominators. If they do then the operation as in addition you add the numerator and denominator together and she if it can be reduced into a smaller number

Please help! i will give u 20 points I need the answer with the method
olga55 [171]

Answer:

6 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

So, the area he needs to fill isn't really important, you don't need to calculate it. What is necessary is the individual dimensions of that area (width/length). The width and the length must be divisible by the lengths of the tiles. This is so you don't need to cut anything. For example let's say the area needed to be filled was 15 mm (width) by 10 mm (length). If I chose 3mm square tiles, it could perfectly fill up the width, but when it came to the length there would be a small 1 mm gap. And you would need to cut one of the square tiles, so it would have a length of 1 mm. In this case the 15mm was divisible by 3, but the 10 mm wasn't. So using this logic, it can't be the 4 mm square tile since 150mm / 4 mm = 37.5. It can be the 6m since 150mm / 6mm = 25 and 180 mm / 6mm = 30. It can't be the 8 mm since 150 mm / 8mm = 18.75 mm
