Answer:

Three rectangular boxes having bases 4 cubic feet, 3 cubic feet and 2 cubic feet respectively will be required to hold 16 cubic feet of soil.

The dimensions of the three rectangular boxes will be 4 \times 1 \times 2, 3 \times 1 \times 2, and 2 \times 1 \times 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total soil to be held is 16 cubic feet.

The volume of a rectangular box is given by the product, lbh, where l is the length, b is the base and h is the height.

16 cubic feet of volume can be divided into two different volumes having values 8 cubic feet, 6 cubic feet and 2 cubic feet, to get two set of dimensions having different bases.

To get the first value of volume, 8 cubic feet, the length, base and height can be 1 foot, 4 feet and 2 feet respectively.

To get the second value of volume, 6 cubic feet, the length, base and height can be 1 foot, 3 feet and 2 feet respectively.

To get the other value of volume, 2 cubic feet, the length, base and height can be 1 foot, 2 feet and 1 foot respectively.

Since, all the three boxes have to be rectangular in shape, the base has to be more than the other two dimensions to get the required volumes as explained above.

If the number of rectangular boxes are increased, the dimensions would not be whole numbers as per the requirement.

The above mentioned can be shown in calculations as given below.

Volume of the first rectangular box

= lbh

= 1 \times 4 \times 2

= 8

Thus, the volume of the first rectangular box is 8 cubic feet.

Volume of the second rectangular box

= lbh

= 1 \times 3 \times 2

= 6

Thus, the volume of the second rectangular box is 6 cubic feet.

Volume of the other rectangular box

= lbh

= 1 \times 2 \times 1

= 2

Thus, the volume of the third rectangular box is 2 cubic feet.

Total volume of both boxes

= 8 + 6 + 2

= 16 cubic feet

never [62]

Answer:

250{n}^{31}

Step-by-step explanation:

(0.5 {n}^{5} )^{2} (10 {n}^{7} )^{3}  \\  = (0.5)^{2}{n}^{5 \times 2} \times (10)^{3} {n}^{7 \times 3} \\  = 0.25{n}^{10} \times 1000{n}^{21} \\  = 0.25 \times 1000 {n}^{10 + 21} \\  = 250{n}^{31}

Which equation represents a line passing through the point (8,33) with a slope of 3?
Delvig [45]

The slope intercept form of equation of required line is y = 3x + 9

What is equation of line in slope intercept form?

The most general form of equation of line in slope intercept form is given by y = mx + c

Where m is the slope of the line and c is the y intercept of the line.

Slope of a line is the tangent of the angle that the line makes with the positive direction of x axis.

If  \theta is the angle that the line makes with the positive direction of x axis, then slope (m) is given by

m =  tan\theta

The distance from the origin to the point where the line cuts the x axis is the x intercept of the line.

The distance from the origin to the point where the line cuts the y axis is the y intercept of the line.

Here,

Slope = 3

The line passes through (8, 33)

Equation of required line

y - 33 = 3(x - 8)

y - 33 = 3x - 24

y = 3x - 24 + 33

y = 3x + 9

Solve this equation please​
nalin [4]

Step-by-step explanation:

Number 1

log_{10}( {x}^{2}   - 3x + 12 )  = 1 \\  log_{10}( {x}^{2} - 3x + 12 )  =  log_{10}(10)  \\ cancelling \: both \: logs \: we \: have \\  {x}^{2}  - 3x + 12 = 10 \\  {x}^{2}  - 3x + 12 - 10 = 0 \\   {x}^{2}  - 3x + 2 = 0 \\

solve \: \: by \: factorisation \: method \\  {x}^{2}  - 2x - x + 2 \\  {x}(x - 2) \:  - 1(x - 2) \\ (x - 2)(x - 1) \\ therefore \: x = 2 \: or \: x = 1

Consider the following circle with center at point O.
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Chord: RT (and RS and TU, but those are also diameters)

Diameter: RS or TU

Radii: OU, OS, OT, or OR

Step-by-step explanation:

Chord: A line segment joining two points on a curve. Doesn't have to cross the center. (AKA, they have to touch the outer edge of the circle.)

Diameter: Chord that crosses the center of the circle(All examples given above cross center O)

Radius: Line segment that goes from the center of a circle to an endpoint that lies on the circle.
