Answer:

Volume of one cube shaped block is, 0.125 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cube(V) is given by:

V = a^3                 .....[1]

where a is the edge length of the cube.

As per the statement:

Cube-shaped blocks are packed into a cube-shaped storage container. The edge of the storage container is 2 1/2 feet.

⇒\text{Edge length of storage} = 2\frac{1}{2} = 2.5 ft

It is also given that:

The edge length of each block is 1/5 the edge length of the storage container

⇒\text{Edge length of each block (a)} = \frac{1}{5} \cdot 2.5 = 0.5 ft

Substitute this in [1] we have;

V = (0.5)^3 = 0.125 ft^3

Therefore,  volume, in cubic feet, of one cube-shaped block is, 0.125

Area of a trapezium is 31.5cm. If the parallel sides are of lengths 7.3cm and 5.3cm. Calculate the perpendicular distance betwee
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given area of trapezium = 31.5 sq. cm

Length of parallel sides = 7.3cm and 5.3cm

Formula to calculate area of trapezium is

1/2*(sum of parallel sides)*perpendicular distance between parallel sides

sum of parallel sides =  (7.3 + 5.3) = 12.6cm

substituting value of area given and sum of parallel sides we have

31.5 = 1/2* 12.6 * perpendicular distance between parallel sides

(31.5 * 2)/12.6 = perpendicular distance between parallel sides

perpendicular distance between parallel sides = 63/12.6 = 5

Therefore perpendicular distance between parallel sides for given trapezium is 5cm.

A farmer has 500 acres to plant acres of corn, x, and acres of cotton, y. Corn costs $215 per acre to produce, and cotton costs
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

x + y = 500

215x + 615y = 187,500

Step-by-step explanation:

The first equation can show the amount of land.  The farmer has 500 acres to plant corn, x, and cotton, y.

x + y = 500

The second equation can show the cost.  The farmer has $187,500 to invest when corn costs $215 per acre and cotton costs $615 per acre.

215x + 615y = 187,500

The system of equations is

x + y = 500

215x + 615y = 187,500

nekit [7.7K]
V=x³-7x+6, V=(x-2)(x+3)*h

(x-2)(x+3)*h=x³-7x+6

h{x²+x-6}=x³-7x+6

h=(x³-7x+6)/(x²+x-6)

Therefore h=x-1

-----------------------------

Check answer:

V=(x-2)(x+3)(x-1)

=(x-1)(x²+x-6)

=x(x²+x-6)-1(x²+x-6)

=x³+x²-6x-x²-x+6

=x³-6x-x+6

=x³-7x+6
