A rectangular container has a base that is 12 inches long and 8 inches wide. The container is filled with water to a height of 6

inches. If all the water is poured into a second container with a square base, it will rise to a height of 16 inches. What is the length of one edge of the square base of the second container?

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

Find the value of n so that the expression is a perfect square trinomial and then factor the trinomial.
Anna007 [38]

The correct expression is (a) n = 100; (x + 10)^2

<h3>How to determine the value of n?</h3>

The expression is given as:

x^2 + 20x + n

Take the coefficient of x

k = 20

Divide by 2

k/2= 10

Square both sides

(k/2)^2 = 100

The above value represents the value of n

i.e.

n = 100

So, we have:

x^2 + 20x + 100

Expand

x^2 + 10x + 10x + 100

Factorize

x(x + 10) + 10(x + 10)

Factor out x + 10

(x + 10)^2

Hence, the correct expression is (a) n = 100; (x + 10)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

If 3 inches tall per hour, and you need to find the amount of rain in 24 hours, you just need to multiply the number of inches per hour by the number of hours required (24 hours):

3×24=72 inches

Answer:

She shouldn't tip at all since that's a ridiculous concept

Step-by-step explanation:

common sense

SORRY MADE A MISTAKE WITH THE CALCULATOR I KNEW I MESSED SOMETHING UP

The cost of the meal was $22 so that's the price plus tax and tax is 10% of the price so

cost = price + 0.1*price

cost = 1.1 * price

price = cost / 1.1

price = 22 / 1.1 = <u>20</u>

now we need 20% of that so that's

20 * 0.2 = <u>4</u>

If she's simple-minded enough to tip that would amount to <u>$4</u>
