3x + 4x + 5x = 156

12x = 156

x = 13

3*13 = 39

5*13 = 65

65-39=26 cm difference

Answer:

33.

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume that the 2 triangles are similar.

x/77 = 24/56

56x = 77*24

x = (77*24(/56

x = 33.

An ice cube is melting, and the lengths of its sides are decreasing at a rate of 0.8 millimeters per minute At what rate is the

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

The rate of decrease is: $43.2mm^3/min$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$l = 18mm$

$\frac{dl}{dt} = -0.8mm/min$ ---- We used minus because the rate is decreasing

Required

Rate of decrease when: $l = 18mm$

The volume of the cube is:

$V = l^3$

Differentiate

$\frac{dV}{dl} = 3l^2$

Make dV the subject

$dV = 3l^2 \cdot dl$

Divide both sides by dt

$\frac{dV}{dt} = 3l^2 \cdot \frac{dl}{dt}$

Given that: $l = 18mm$ and $\frac{dl}{dt} = -0.8mm/min$

$\frac{dV}{dt} = 3 * (18mm)^2 * (-0.8mm/min)$

$\frac{dV}{dt} = 3 * 18 *-0.8mm^3/min$

$\frac{dV}{dt} = -43.2mm^3/min$

<em>Hence, the rate of decrease is: 43.2mm^3/min</em>
