Answer:
about 7.4 miles
exact is 7.44 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
0.62×12=7.44
If you had absolutely no idea, then you'd have roughly two choices
of how to find it:
#1). Try numbers until you find the right one.
Pick a number.
Cube it.
If you get less than 729, go back and try a bigger number.
If you get more than 729, go back and try a smaller number.
Eventually you find the right one.
Try 1. 1³ = 1 . Too small.
Try 2. 2³ = 8 . Still too small.
Try 5. 5³ = 125 . Still too small.
Try 20. 20³ = 8,000. Ooops. Too big.
Try 10. 10³ = 1,000 Too big.
Try 8. 8³ = 512. Oooo. Too small, but maybe getting close.
Try 8.5. 8.5³ = 614.125 Still too small, but very close.
Try 9. 9³ = 729 . That's it ! yay !
#2). x³ = 729
Take the log of each side: log(x³) = log(729)
3 log(x) = log(729)
Divide each side by 3 : log (x) = (1/3) log(729)
Look up log(729) : log(x) = (1/3) (2.86272...)
= 0.95424...
Raise 10 to the power
of each side: 10^log(x) = 10⁰·⁹⁵⁴²⁴···
x = 8.99994...
(That's the way it is with logs.
They never come out even.)
well, the volume of that triangular prism will just be the area of the triangle times the length.
now, what's the area of that triangular face? well, let's say it has a base of "b" and a height of 3, whilst the prism has a length of 6, Check the picture below.
