The new height of the water is = 9.34 inches (approx)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given, a rectangular container measuring 20 inches long by 16 inches wide by 12 inches tall is filled to its brim with water.
Let the new height of water level be x inches.
The volume of the container = (20×16×12) cubic inches
=3840 cubic inches
According to the problem,
3840 - (20×16×x) = 850
⇔3840 -320x = 850
⇔-320x =850-3840
⇔-320 x = -2990
⇔x = 9.34 inches
The new height of the water is = 9.34 inches (approx)
Answer:
See attached for a "Neat" quadratic formula.
a = -1
b = 2
c = 1
x = [-2 +- sqr root( 4 -4*-1*1)] / -2
x = [-2 +- sqr root( 4 -4*-1*1)] / -2
x = [-2 +- sqr root(8)] / -2
x1 = (-2 +2.8284271247) / -2
x1 = .8284271247 / -2
x1 = -0.41421
x2 = (-2 -2.8284271247) / -2
x2 = ( -4.8284271247) / -2
x2 = 2.4142135624
So the equation has the positive solution of
2.4142135624
