The sides of one cube are twice as long as the sides of a second cube. what is the side length of each cube if the total volume

Side length <span> of a smaller cube = x
</span>volume of a smaller cube = x³

side length  of a larger cube = 2x
volume of a larger cube = (2x)³ = 8x³

x³ + 8x³ = 72
9x³ = 72
x³ = 72/9
x³ = 8
x = ∛8
x = 2 cm  ← side length of a smaller cube

2x = 2*2 = 4 cm ← side length of a larger cube

Please help. Determine whether mn is parallel to kl. And why it is parallel. Will reward 20 points
satela [25.4K]
It is not parallel. The fact that there is more space between the lines on one side than the other (mk is shorter than nL) shows that the lines must be angled differently, and thus, would eventually intersect.

Maria and victor each play a video game. The ratio of the number of points Maria scores to the number of points victor scores is
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't know what a tape diagram is but I can give you the equation and the answer.

Let Victor have x points

Let Maria have y points

y = x + 424

y/x = 5/3                     Cross multiply

3y = 5x                       Divide by 3

y = 5x/3                      I Could have just multiplied by x

y = x + 424

5x/3 = x + 424           Multiply both sides by 3

5x = 3x + 1272           Subtract 3x from both sides.

5x-3x = 1272              Combine the left.

2x = 1272                    Divide by 2

2x/2 = 1272/2

x = 636

Victor Scored 636 points

Maria Scored 636 + 424 = 1060
