Your set the equation equal to 0 and you start factoring it, if it doesn’t factor out then you use the quadratic formula but if you do that then set it equal to “X”, not equal to 0
Answer:
<em>128</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Method A.</em>
The volume of the prism is 2 cubic units.
Each cube has side length of 1/4 unit.
The volume of each cube is (1/4)^3 cubic unit.
The volume of each cube is 1/64 cubic unit.
To find the number of cubes that fit in the prism, we divide the volume of the prism by the volume of one cube.
(2 cubic units)/(1/64 cubic units) =
= 2/(1/64)
= 2 * 64
= 128
<em>Method B.</em>
Imagine that the prism has side lengths 1 unit, 1 unit, and 2 units (which does result in a 2 cubic unit volume.) Since each cube has side length 1/4 unit, then you can fit 4 cubes by 4 cubes by 8 cubes in the prism. Then the number of cubes is: 4 * 4 * 8 = 128
All you need to solve these is a knowledge of the 3 main trigonometrical ratios.
I a right angled triangle where A is a non right angle:-
sin A = opposite / hypotenuse (hypotenuse is the sloping side)
cos A = adjacent / hyptenuse ( the adjacent side is the one the angle 'sits' on)
tan A = opposite / adjacent ( the opposite side is the one opposite the angle)
So to find the length of segment x in the first problem use
sin 61 = x / 50
then
x = 50*sin61 = 43.73
and to find the length of y:-
cos 61 = y / 50
y = 60 cos 61 = 24.24
The other questions can be solved in a similar way.
