Given:
The volume of the rectangular prism is
,
the height is h=(b+3)
1. The volume of a rectangular prism is (base area)*height
also, notice that the volume is a third degree polynomial, the height is a 1st degree polynomial, so the base area must be a 2nd degree polynomial, whose coefficients we don't know yet.
Let this quadratic polynomial be
2
notice that
is the product of the largest 2 terms:
and b, so m must be 1
also, notice that 12 is the product of the constants, k and 3
so k*3=12, this means k=4
3
we write the above equality again:
=
4
now compare the coefficient with the left side:
8=n+3
n=5
substituting n=5:
the base area is
Answer:
Answer:
<u>Volume</u>
For the rectangle, h = 3cm, l = 8cm, w = 6cm
V = length x width x height
V = 8cm x 6cm x 3cm
V = 144cm^3
For the semi circle, we need to find the radius. The radius is width/2, so 6cm/2 = 3cm. r = 3cm, 
= 3.14
V = radius^2 x height x
V = 3cm^2 x 3cm x 3.14
V = 84.8 cm^3/2 (because the cylinder needs to be divided to form a semi-circle)
V= 42.4cm^3 (there are two cylinders though so we will multiply this by 2 in the total volume)
Total volume:
V = 144cm^3 + 42.4cm^3(2)
V = 186.4cm^3
<u>Surface Area</u>
Rectangular prism:
A = 2[w(l) + h(l) + h(w)]
A = 2[6cm(8cm) + 3cm(8cm) + 3cm(6cm)]
A = 180cm^2
But there are two sides that are covered by the semi-circular prisms, so we will have to calculate those sides and remove them.
A = l x w
A = 6cm x 3cm
A = 18cm^2(2) (2 being the two faces)
A = 36cm^2
A = 180cm^2 - 36cm^2
A = 144cm^2 (the area of the rectangle)
Semi-circular prism:
A = 2rh + 2r^2
Earlier, we found out that the radius of the circle is 3cm, so we will plug that in.
A = 2(3.14)(3cm)(3cm) + 2(3.14)(3cm)^2
A = 113.09cm^2
Total surface area:
A = 144cm^2 + 133.09cm^2
A = 277.09cm^2
Therefore the total volume of the prism is 186.4cm^3 and the total surface area is 277.09cm^2.
Answer: plants are same height in 30 days; Plant A is tallest in 6 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
x = number of days
4 + (2/3)x = 9 + (1/2)x
(2/3)x - (1/2)x = 9 - 4
(1/6)x = 5
x = 30, number of days for Plant A and Plant B to be same height.
6 wks = 42 days
Plant A in 42 days: 4 + (2/3)(42) = 32 inches
Plant B in 42 days: 9 + (1/2)(42) = 30 inches
Answer:
<u><em>30cm</em></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
When are square is cut diagonally into two parts
The resulting shape is a triangle
hence the area of the square = 50+50 = 100cm^2
The length of each side of the square = √100= 10cm
likewise the diagonal of the square = 10cm
<u><em>Hence the perimeter of the resulting triangle= 10+10+10= 30cm</em></u>
