Answer: the length of one edge of the square base of the second container is 6 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the volume of a rectangular container is expressed as

Volume = length × width × height

Considering the first container,

Length = 12 inches

Width = 8 inches

Height to which the water is filled is 6 inches.

Therefore, volume of water in the container is

12 × 8 × 6 = 576 inches³

Considering the second container,

Height of water = 16 inches

Let L represent the length of the square base. Then the area of the square base is L²

Volume of water would be 16L²

Since the water in the first container was poured into the second container, then

16L² = 576

L² = 576/16 = 36

L = √36

L = 6 inches

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

10 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

- Before 1997, people with a minimum FBGL of 140mg/dl were diagnosed as diabetic

- After 1997, people with a minimum FBGL of 126mg/dl were diagnosed as diabetic

- What is the proportion of people who were not considered diabetic before 1997 but are now considered diabetic (after 1997)?

140 - 126 = 14

In percentage, this proportion is = 14/140 × 100

= 10%

Hence, 10% of the people who were not considered diabetic before 1997 are now or will now be considered diabetic.
