Tim has a rectangular prism with a length of 10 centimeters, a width of 2 centimeters, and an unknown height. he needs to build
another rectangular prism with a length of 5 centimeters and the same height as the original prism. the volume of the two prisms will be the same. find the width, in centimeters, of the new prism.
The volume of the original prism is given by: V1 = (10) * (2) * (h) rewriting: V1 = 20h Where, h: height The volume of the second prism is given by: V2 = (5) * (w) * (h) We know that the height is the same. As the volume is the same then: (5) * (w) * (h) = 20h Clearing w we have: w = (20/5) = 4 cm Answer: The width, in centimeters, of the new prism is: w = 4cm
Ok 15% is 0.15 in decimal form so you multiply 0.15 by 16000$ and get 2,400$ (the down payment not amount owed) you then subtract 2,400$ from 16,000$ and get 13,600$ which is how much he still owes
