Answer:

h=12ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula one would use for finding the volume of a rectangular prism is as follows:

  • Volume = length × width × height , V=l*w*h

With this in mind, let's plug in the given variables in the question for this formula.

V=648ft^3

l=6ft

w=9ft

h= ?

  • We don't know the height, but that's just fine. We will plug in all our values and isolate h.

V=lwh\\648ft^3=(6ft)(9ft)h

  • I'm leaving in units just because I want to show that units aren't just for show. They can be used when in doubt of how to go about your math.

648ft^3=(6ft)(9ft)h\\648ft^3=(54ft^2)h\\\frac{648ft^3}{54ft^2}=\frac{(54ft^2)h}{54ft^2}

  • Notice, that the units on the left side cancel out, leaving only the unit ft left next to the solution. In the same way, the units on the right side cancel out too, leaving only h, height.

\frac{648ft^3}{54ft^2}=\frac{(54ft^2)h}{54ft^2}\\12ft=h

If involving units only confuses you, like it does for me, you can remove them like so, you just need to know what units your solution uses instead of being able to come to the proper units by using math.

V=lwh\\648=(6)(9)h\\648=54h\\\frac{648}{54}=\frac{54h}{54}\\12ft=h

5. Write two expressions for the area of the big rectangle. ​
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Two expressions for the area are;

i) x/3 + 2·y + 6

ii) (1/3) × (x + 6·y + 18)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given dimension of the rectangle are;

The height of the rectangle, h = 1/3

The width of the smallest rectangle, w₁ = x

The width of the med sized rectangle, w₂ = 6·y

The width the large rectangle, w₃ = 18

The area, 'A', of the entire rectangular figure, the big rectangle, can be expressed as follows;

A = A₁ + A₂ + A₃

Where;

A₁ = The area of the smallest rectangle

A₂ = The area of the mid sized rectangle

A₃ = The area of the large rectangle

∴ A = (1/3) × x + (1/3) × 6·y + (1/3) × 18 = x/3 + 2·y + 6

The area of the big rectangle. 'A', can also be found as follows;

A = (1/3) × (x + 6·y + 18)

Therefore, two expressions for the area of the big rectangle are;

x/3 + 2·y + 6 and (1/3) × (x + 6·y + 18).

What is the slope-intercept form of the linear equation 2x–8y=322x–8y=32 ?
gladu [14]
2x - 8y = 32
-8y = -2x + 32
y = (-2/-8)x - 32/8
y = 1/4x - 4 <== slope intercept form

The drama club you are part of is hosting a pancake breakfast. You are in charge of buying the sausage, which costs $5 per pound
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

<h2>C.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the pictures.

x - sausage

y - bacon

A. 20 pounds of sausage and 90 pound of bacon

x = 20 → y = 100 > 90

B. 40 pound of sausage and 40 pound of bacon

x = 40 → y = 75 > 40

C. 60 pound of sausage and 80 pound of bacon

x = 60 → y = 50 < 80

D. 80 pound of sausage and 20 pound of bacon​

x = 80 → y = 25 > 20

If the parent function f(x) = x^2 is fatter translated 11 units to the left, then translated 5 units down, write the resulting f
nikklg [1K]

The quadratic function given by:


f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k, \ \ \ a\neq 0


is in vertex form. The graph of f is a parabola whose axis is the vertical line x=h and whose vertex is the point (h, k). So:


To translate the graph of a function to the right, left, upward or downward we have:

For \ a \ positive \ real \ number \ c. \ \mathbf{Vertical \ and \ horizontal \ shifts} \\ in \ the \ graph \ of \ y=f(x) \ are \ represented \ as \ follows:\\ \\ \bullet \ Vertical \ shift \ c \ units \ \mathbf{upward}: \\ g(x)=f(x)+c \\ \\ \bullet \ Vertical \ shift \ c \ units \ \mathbf{downward}: \\ g(x)=f(x)-c \\ \\ \bullet \ Horizontal \ shift \ c \ units \ to \ the \ \mathbf{right}: \\ g(x)=f(x-c) \\ \\ \bullet \ Horizontal \ shift \ c \ units \ to \ the \ \mathbf{left}: \\ g(x)=f(x+c)


By knowing this things, we can solve our problem as follows:


FIRST.

  • Translating <em>11 units to the left:</em>

g(x)=f(x+11) \\ \\ \therefore g(x)=(x+11)^2


  • Then translating<em> 5 units down:</em>

g(x)=f(x)-c \\ \\ \therefore g(x)=(x+11)^2-5


Since the new function is fatter, the factor we need to multiply the term (x+11)^2 <em>must be</em> less than 1, to make the graph fatter. So, according to our options, there are two factors 1/2 and 2.


<em>Therefore, the right answer is </em><em>b. f(x) = 1/2(x + 11)^2 - 5</em>


SECOND.

  • Translating <em>8 units to the right:</em>

g(x)=f(x-8) \\ \\ \therefore g(x)=(x-8)^2


  • Then translating<em> 1 unit down:</em>

g(x)=f(x)-c \\ \\ \therefore g(x)=(x-8)^2-1


As explained in the previous case, there are two factors 1/3 and 3, so we choose the first one.


<em>Therefore, the right answer is </em><em>a. g(x) = 1/3(x - 8)^2 - 1</em>
