The volume of the prism is 144 ft^3. If we use the letter V to represent volume, the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is V=length*width*height. When you plug in the numbers, the equation is V=12*6*2. When you multiply these three numbers together, you get 144. Because you are finding the volume, your units are cubed, so your answer is 144 ft^3. I have attached an image of this problem written out (I’m sorry if the image is bad, I drew it on my phone). If you need any more help or any clarification, please let me know and I will be happy to help!
As this is already in its simplest form, I believe the only other expression is 4*X +9
The tree is 25 feet tall. Given the height of the stick and the shadow it cast, the angle formed by the sun and the stick's height can be obtained by taking the Inverse Tangent of 3/5. This is equal to 30.93. This angle is equal to the angle formed by the sun and the tree's height. Using the tangent formula, Tan (30.93)=tree's shadow (15 ft)/ height of the tree, giving the answer 25 feet.
You find the x coordinates using x = -b/2a = -6/2(-1) = 3
Substitute 3 in the equation and find y
y = -(3^2) + 6(3) - 12 = -9 + 18 - 12 = -3
