How many square inches in a foot

Mathematics

Answer:

There are 144 square inches in a square foot.

Step-by-step explanation:

A square foot is a square that is 1 foot by 1 foot. Since there are 12 inches in 1 foot, and to get the area you need to multiple 2 adjacent sides together, you do 12 times 12 which is 144 square inches. Many people have the misconception that a square foot has 12 square inches, but this is wrong since a square foot has dimensions of 12 inches by 12 inches, but when you multiply them together, you can see that the answer is actually 144.

Answer:

$2*log(x)+log(y)$

Step-by-step explanation:

So, there are two logarithmic identities you're going to need to know.

Logarithm of a power:

$log_ba^c=c*log_ba$

So to provide a quick proof and intuition as to why this works, let's consider the following logarithm: $log_ba=x\implies b^x=a$

Now if we raise both sides to the power of c, we get the following equation: $(b^x)^c=a^c$

Using the exponential identity: $(x^a)^c=x^{a*c}$

We get the equation: $b^{xc}=a^c$

If we convert this back into logarithmic form we get: $log_ba^c=x*c$

Since x was the basic logarithm we started with, we substitute it back in, to get the equation: $log_ba^c=c*log_ba$

Now the second logarithmic property you need to know is

The Logarithm of a Product:

$log_b{ac}=log_ba+log_bc$

Now for a quick proof, let's just say: $x=log_ba\text{ and }y=log_bc$

Now rewriting them both in exponential form, we get the equations:

$b^x=a\\b^y=c$

We can multiply a * c, and since b^x = a, and b^y = c, we can substitute that in for a * c, to get the following equation:

$b^x*b^y=a*c$

Using the exponential identity: $x^{a}*x^b=x^{a+b}$ , we can rewrite the equation as:

$b^{x+y}=ac$

taking the logarithm of both sides, we get:

$log_bac=x+y$

Since x and y are just the logarithms we started with, we can substitute them back in to get: $log_bac=log_ba+log_bc$

Now let's use these identities to rewrite the equation you gave

$log(x^2y)$

As you can see, this is a log of products, so we can separate it into two logarithms (with the same base)

$log(x^2)+log(y)$

Now using the logarithm of a power to rewrite the log(x^2) we get:

$2*log(x)+log(y)$

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

The answer is 17.2 hours

Step-by-step explanation: Because first you add all hours together (which is 86/15) then multiple it by 3 (week) which is 86/5 = 17.2 hours

What is 0.6 as a fraction in simplest form

Illusion [34]

we know that

step 1

multiply $0.6$ by $\frac{10}{10}$

$0.6*\frac{10}{10} =\frac{6}{10}$

step 2

Divide numerator and denominator by $2$

$\frac{\frac{6}{2}}{\frac{10}{2}} =\frac{3}{5}$

therefore

the answer is

$\frac{3}{5}$

A cookie company packages its cookies in rectangular prism boxes designed with square bases that have both a length and width of

maw [93]

Answer:

h³- 8h² + 16h

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem tells us that the length and width of these boxes are both 4 inches less than the height of the box.

So if we name h the height of the box, the width of the box would be h - 4 and the height of the box would be h - 4.

Now, the volume of a rectangular prism is given by V = height x width x length

So, considering the values we have in this problem we get:

V= height x width x volume

V = h (h-4)(h-4)

V= h(h-4)²

V= h (h²-8h + 16)

V = h³- 8h² + 16h

Therefore, the polynomial representing the volume of this box in terms of the height is h³- 8h² + 16h
