Technically 30. You do 15 x 2 which is 30.

A technical machinist is asked to build a cubical steel tank that will hold of water. Calculate in meters the smallest possible

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The smallest possible length is 0.83m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Volume = 565L$

Required

The smallest length of the tank

Since the tank is cubical, then the volume is:

$Volume = Length^3$

This gives:

$565L= Length^3$

Express as $m^3$

$\frac{565m^3}{1000} = Length^3$

$0.565m^3 = Length^3$

Take cube roots of both sides

$0.8267m = Length$

Rewrite as:

$Length = 0.8267m$

Approximate

$Length = 0.83m$

Two figures are similar, and the scale factor is 2/3

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

The answer is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor between the figures is 2/3, this means that the ratio of the smaller figure to the larger figure is 2/3:

$\frac{smaller\:figure}{larger\:figure}=\frac{2}{3}$ .

So when a side of the the larger figure is 12 then:

$\frac{smaller\:figure\: side}{12}=\frac{2}{3}$

Therefore

$smaller\:figure\:side=\frac{2}{3}*12=8$ .

Thus the length of the corresponding smaller side is 8.
