Answer:

The actual water in the tank is 29.76 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the farmer estimated amount of water is 25 gallons.

It is also given that he underestimate the water in tank by 16%.

Let the actual water in tank be x.

(1-\frac{16}{100})x=25

(\frac{100-16}{100})x=25

84x=25\times 100

x=\frac{2500}{84}

x=29.7619

x\approx 29.76

Therefore the actual water in the tank is 29.76 gallons.

A rectangular prism must have a base with an area of no more than 27 square meters. The width of the base must be 9 meters less
den301095 [7]

Answer:

The maximum height of the prism is 12\ m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the height of the prism

we know that

the area of the rectangular base of the prism is equal to

A=L*W

A\leq 27\ m^{2}

so

L*W\leq 27 -------> inequality A

W=x-9 ------> equation B

L=W+6 -----> equation C

Substitute equation B in equation C

L=(x-9)+6

L=x-3 ------> equation D

Substitute equation B and equation D in the inequality A

(x-3)*(x-9)\leq 27-------> using a graphing tool to solve the inequality

The solution for x is the interval---------->[0,12]

see the attached figure

but remember that

The width of the base must be 9 meters less than the height of the prism

so

the solution for x is the interval ------> (9,12]

The maximum height of the prism is 12\ m
