Answer: 1,512 cubic inches

Explanation:

To get the length of the inner side of the cube, we multiply the thickness by 2 and then, we subtract the result from the outer side of the cube.

In terms of equation:
     
(inner side) = (outer side) - 2(thickness)

Since the outer side is 12 inches and the thickness is 3 inches, then the inner side is given by

(inner side) = (outer side) - 2(thickness)
                   = 12 - 2(3)
(inner side) = 6 inches

Therefore, the amount of metal needed to smelt the cubic box is given by

(Volume of metal) = (outer side)³ - (inner side)³
                             = 12³ - 6³
                             = 1,728 - 216
                             = 1,512 cubic inches

The measures of the angles of a triangle solve for X
kompoz [17]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Because this is a right triangle, one angle is a right angle (90°). All triangles have all three angle measures adding up to 180°, so the other two angles' measures add up to 90° (90 + 90 = 180).

Combine like terms of the angle measures.

6x + 9x = 15x

-3 + (-12) = -15

15x - 15

Because the sum of the measures of the two angles have to equal 90,

15x - 15 = 90

Add 15 from both sides.

15x = 105

Divide both sides by 15.

x = 7

To check, substitute 7 in both expressions.

6(7) - 3 = 39

9(7) - 12 = 51

39 + 51 + 90 (the measure of the right angle) = 180, so the value of x is 7.

I hope this helped :)

so we need to figure 3/8 of 1680

" of " in math language means multiply

3/8 * 1680 = 5040/8 = 630 miles <===
