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

Write the equation of the line with the given slope and y-intercept
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

A) y = x - 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line with slope m and intercept b is

y = mx + b

Here were have slope = m = 1.

y-intercept = b = -3/4

Equation:

y = mx + b

y = 1x + (-3/4)

y = x - 3/4

Answer: A) y = x - 3/4

If m angle ECD is six less than five times m angle BCE, and mangle BCD = 162º. find each
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

let ∠BCE = x then ∠ECD = 5x - 6 and

∠BCE + ∠ECD = ∠BCD, substitute values

x + 5x - 6 = 162, that is

6x - 6 = 162 ( add 6 to both sides )

6x = 168 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 28

Hence

∠BCE = x = 28°

∠ECD = 5x - 6 = (5 × 28) - 6 = 140 - 6 = 134°

Which expression shows the result of applying the distributive property to 3(15x−17) ?3/5x−3/7−3/5x−3/73/5x+3/7−3/5x+3/7
baherus [9]
If the problem is 3(15x - 17), none of those expressions are correct. You would multiple the 3 to each term (hence the "distributive" part) to get 45x - 51.
