A homemade loaf of bread turns out to be a perfect cube. Five slices of bread, each 0.6 inch thick, are cut from one end of the

loaf. The remainder of the loaf now has a volume of 235 cubic inches. What were the dimensions of the original loaf?

A cube has all sides of equal length.

So let the side be x

that will be length = width = height = x  

Now, when we cut the loaf into 5 equal slices, the length and height of the slices are the same as the original loaf.  But the width will become less with each slicing. Here the width corresponds to the thickness of the slices.

For each slice the dimensions are -

Length = x

height = x

width = 0.6

Volume of the original loaf is x³.

Volume of  5 slices is 5(x * x * 0.6).  

Volume that is left after the cutting the slices is 235 inch³.

So, equation of the volume is=

x³ - 5(0.6x²) = 235

Solve for x using this equation.

x³ - 3x² = 235

x³ - 3x² - 235 = 0

Using a graph calculator to find the roots, we get

x = 7.35

Hence the dimensions of the original loaf is 7.35 inches for each side.

Please find attached the graph.

Sketch a graph of f (x) = −1
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = -1 is actually the same as y = -1.  Find y = -1 on the y axis and then draw a horizontal line through this point.  The resulting graph is that called for here.

I don't know how to solve this problem ​
Rom4ik [11]

<em><u>Before you read this!!</u></em><em> To me, it looks like 8 is the entire length of lineJL, but it may only be the length of lineJM. I've written the steps for lineJL=8 NOT lineJM=8. If this is not the case and 8 is only the length of lineJM let me know so I can fix my answer!</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is A=1/2(b)(h)

B=base

H=height

Your height is found in the line in the middle of the triangle, for you it is 6.

The base is the long bottom line on the triangle (lineJL), for you it is 8.

So let's put it in.

A=1/2(8)(6)

A=24sq units (C)

If you have a square that has sides measuring 5 inches what is the measure of its diagonal​
Oxana [17]

Answer:

5√2 Inches

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition of a square, all it's sides are the same measurement (typically signified by the variable <em>s</em> on all sides).

In a triangle (as with a intersection from one corner to the other (diagonal), It would create a right triangle. Remember, the two leg sides are the same measurement (typically placed as 1). There is one triangle side measurement rule:

1 , 1 , √2

Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding units. the 5 inches is a side (not the hypotenuse), so it belongs in the 1:

1 x 5 = 5

1 x 5 = 5

√2 x 5 = 5√2

The measurement of it's diagonal (hypotenuse) is 5√2.
