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

Solve the following equation and show all the steps to solving.
Bumek [7]
\bf \cfrac{x}{x-2}+\cfrac{x-1}{x+1}=-1\impliedby LCD\to (x-2)(x+1)\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{x(x+1)+(x-1)(x-2)}{(x-2)(x+1)}=-1
\\\\\\
x^2+x+x^2-3x+2=-1(x-2)(x+1)
\\\\\\
2x^2-2x+2=-1(x^2-x-2)\implies 2x^2-2x+2=-x^2+x+2
\\\\\\
3x^2-3x=0\implies 3x(x-1)=0\implies 
\begin{cases}
3x=0\implies &x=0\\
x-1=0\implies &x=1
\end{cases}

The area rug is 4 15/32 square meters. The rug is 2 3/4 meters in length. How wide is the rug
Whitepunk [10]
Steps:
1. To do this problem, you have to divide the area by the length
2. To make this easier, turn both numbers into improper fractions
143/32 divided by 11/4
3. To divide you actually have to multiply by the reciprocal
143/32 times 4/11 equals 572/352
4. Turn 572/352 into a mixed number which is 1 220/352
5. Now you simplify it by dividing the numerator and denominator by 44
6. Your answer is.
1 5/8

Please solve for h: V=πr²h
earnstyle [38]
Solve for h:V = π h r^2
V = h π r^2 is equivalent to h π r^2 = V:π h r^2 = V
Divide both sides by π r^2:
Answer: h = V/(π r^2)
