Answer: The finial answer is 15.8
This problem is just one about triangles! All of the faces of the cube are perpendicular to their adjacent faces, so the diagonal of one of the face will be a right angle with the edge of the cube. Thus, you can create a right triangle. Finally, use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for x, the length of the side of the cube.
Step-by-step explanation:
A) What's the volume of this fish tank? Show all work and express your answer as a mixed number in its most simplified form!
By definition we have that the volume of a rectangular prism is given by:
V = (w) * (l) * (h)
Where,
w: width
l: long
h: height
We then have to replace the values:
V = (7) * (5.5) * (2.5)
V = 96.25 in ^ 3
Equivalently:
V = 96 1/4 in ^ 3
B) Could this fish tank hold 100 in³ of water? Answer yes or no, then explain why in one or more sentences.
No, this fish tank could not hold 100 in³ of water.
This is because the prism volume (part A) is less than 100 in ^ 3.
In other words;
96 1/4 in ^ 3 <100 in ^ 3
0.9 is the answerrrrrrrrrrrrrr
