A=Lw

P=2L+2w

216=Lw

W=216/L...substitute to Perimeter equation

60=2L+2(216/L)

60L=2L^2 + 432

2L^2-60L+432=0

2(L^2 - 30L + 216)=0

2(L-18)(L-12)=0

L=12, W=18 or L=18, W=12

A glass fish tank in the shape of a rectangular prism has a base that measures 22 inches by 12 inches. If the tank can hold a ma

Umnica [9.8K]

582.74 square inches of glass is required to construct the tank

Step-by-step explanation:

Base dimensions= 22 x 12 inches

Volume of the fish tank = 3960 cubic inches

Volume = l x w x h

3960 = 22 x 12 x h

h = 3960 /(22 x 12)

h = 3960/462

h = 8.57 inches

The glass used = lateral surface area of the rectangular prism

= 2(lh + wl)

= 2(188.57 + 102.8)

= 2(291.37)

= 582.74 square inches

582.74 square inches of glass is required to construct the tank

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y = 4

When y = 34

2x + 3(34) = 4

2x + 102 = 4

2x = 4 - 102

2x = - 98

x = -98/2

x = - 49
