Answer:

9.8 Inch

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance from the upper left corner to the bottom right corner of the box is the longest diagonal of the box.

For a rectangular prism:

Length of the Longest diagonal =\sqrt{ l^2+h^2+w^2}

Therefore:

Length of the pencil=\sqrt{ 8^2+4^2+4^2}

=\sqrt{96}\\=9.8$ inch(correct to  the nearest tenth of an inch)

Answer: length of pencil is 9.8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pencil fits perfectly from the upper left corner to the bottom right corner of the box. This is the diagonal of the box(not the diagonal of a face). To determine the length of the pencil, we would determine the length of the diagonal of the box. The formula formula is

d = √(l² + w² + h²)

Where

d = diagonal = length of pencil

w = width = 4 inches

h = height = 4 inches

l = length = 8 inches

Therefore,

d = √(4² + 4² + 8²) = √96

d = 9.8 inches

If x^y = z is there any way to find y if you know x and z?
Rzqust [24]

We make use of y = \log_x(z) to solve for y, when you know x and z

<h3>How to solve for y?</h3>

The expression is given as:

x^y = z

The above expression is an exponential expression.

Start by taking the logarithm of both sides

y log(x) = log(z)

Divide both sides by log(x)

y = \log_x(z)

Hence, we make use of y = \log_x(z) to solve for y, when you know x and z
