Desi is looking at his calculator, which is shaped like a rectangular prism, and estimates it is about 3 in. wide, 4 in. tall, a

nd 12 in. thick. He wonders how many of these calculators he could fit in the trunk of his car, which is also roughly shaped like a rectangular prism, 4 ft wide, 3 ft deep, and 2 ft tall. His reasoning, shown here, contains an error.
The calculator has a volume of about 60 in³, or about 6×101 in³.
The trunk of his car has a volume of about 41,472 in³, or about 4×104 in³.
4×1046×101=23×103 , so 667 calculators would fit in the trunk of his car.
What is Desi's error?

The value 41,472 should have been rounded to 4×105 .

The volume of the car's trunk is not about 41,472 in³.

The value 60 should have been rounded to 6×100 .

The volume of the calculator is not about 60 in³.

We know that 1 ft = 12 in.
The dimensions of the trunk of a car:
4 ft = 48 in wide, 3 ft = 36 in deep,  2 ft = 24 in tall.
V = 48 * 36 * 24 = 41,472 in³
41,472 in³ ≈ 4 * 10^4 in³
And the volume of the calculator:
V ( calc. ) = 3 * 4 * 12 = 144 in³
Answer:
Desi`s error is D ) The volume of the calculator is not about 60 in³.

Answer:

(4,0) and (2,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

For an x-intercept, y=0, so now we have:

(x-4)(x-2)=0

Anything multiplied by 0 is 0, so (x-4)=0 and/or (x-2)=0

(x-4)=0

x=4

(x-2)=0

x=2

The x-intercept co-ordinates are: (4,0), (2,0)

Someone please help me on this question ?:)

Answer: The TV is 48 inches wide.

Step-by-step explanation: To find the solution to this equation we must use the Pythagorean theorem. The Py. Theo. is basically the formula :

a^2 + b^2 = c^2    You say this as "A squared plus b squared equals c squared"

To use this formula you must plug in the given values of a and b, to find c. A and b represent the two bases of the triangle, while c is the hypotenuse. In this equation we already have the value of c and a. We need to find b, but in order to do that we use a different formula. We use : c^2 - a^2 = b^2

See :

52^2 - 20^2 = b^2       *The ^2 means "to the power of" aka an exponent*

2704 - 400 = b^2     *When dealing with ^2, all you do is multiply the number by itself*

2304 = b^2      *Next, we find the square root of our current number.*

48 = b    

*Another way to solve this equation is to memorize all the Pythagorean Triples. With that knowledge, you wont even need to use the formula because you will already know all three values. I hope this helped you understand :)
