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

How do you change 24 2\5 into decimal?
seropon [69]
24 and 2/5=24+2/5
24=24

0.1=1/10
2/5=x/10
times both sides by 10
20/5=x
4=x
2/5=4/10=0.4


24 and 2/5=24+0.4=24.4

2g + h =2<br>g -h= -5<br><br>find g and h step by step explanation​
wel

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2g + h = 2 --------------(I)

g - h = -5------------(II)

   g = -5 + h

Plugin g = -5 + h in equation (I)

  2(-5 + h) + h = 2              {Distributive property:a(b+c) = a*b +a*c}

(-5)*2 + h *2 + h= 2

-10 + 2h  + h    = 2

             3h = 2 + 10

       3h = 12

         h = 12/3

h = 4

Substitute h= 6 in equation (I)  

2g + 4 = 2

    2g = 2 - 4

    2g = -2

      g = -2/2

g = -1
