How would I figure out what L= is if V=168 yd W= 7 yd H= 3 yd?

Mariulka [41]

We can assume that the shape is a rectangular prism by the given dimensions

Volume of a rectangular prism
Volume = Area of Base × Height of prism
= Length × Width × Height of prism
Substitute!
168 = L × 7 × 3
168 = L × 21
Divide 21 on either sides to isolate L

$\frac{168}{21}$ = $\frac{L*21}{21}$
21 and 21 cancels out

8 = L
L = 8 yd

The table represents a linear function?

Llana [10]

Hello Fantaysias,

How are you doing? I know this is kind of late, but here goes nothing! Yes, it is a linear equation, you know this because, the input always will result with the same output. Plus, since it has a slope, which is 10 by the way, it also confirms that this is linear! Linear means, that if you put these plots on a line, it will create a straight line! Hope I helped!

Thank you,
Darian D.
