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

What would be the dimensions of the poster at fraction 1 over 4 times its current size?
Butoxors [25]
The answer is Length = 6cm, width = 9cm.
This is because to find 1/4 multiplied by the dimensions, you need to divide by 4. 36 ÷ 4 = 9, and 24 ÷ 4 = 6. I hope this helps!

A line containing the points (9, 1) and (5, 5) intersects the x -axis at what point?
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

It intersects the x-axis at x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find slope <em>m</em>

m = (5 - 1)/(5 - 9)

m = 4/-4

m = -1

y = -x + b

Step 2: Find <em>b</em>

5 = -5 + b

b = 10

Step 3: Rewrite equation

y = -x + 10

Step 4: Find <em>x</em> when <em>y</em> = 0

0 = -x + 10

-10 = -x

x = 10

So the graph crosses the x-axis at 10.

Find the ratio of x to y if 7/x = 5/y. Help me!!!!
MakcuM [25]
7/x = 5/y
Can be changed to:
5x = 7y
So, x = (7/5)y and
y = (5/7)x
