Toby wants to find the volume of a solid toy soldier.

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Toby wants to find the volume of a solid toy soldier.He fills a rectangular container 8 cm long, 6 cm wide,and 10 cm high with water to a depth of 4 cm. Toby totally submerges the toy soldier in the water. The height of the water with the submerged toy soldier is 6.6 cm. Which of the following is closest to the volume, in cubic centimeters, of the toy soldier?

A. 125 B. 156 C. 192 D. 208 E.317

The volume of the toy is 125 cubic cm ,option A is the closest answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A rectangular container .

Length of the container =8 cm

Width of the container = 6 cm

Height of the container when water is filled = $(h_1)$ = 4 cm

Height of the container when the toy is submerged = $(h_2)$ =6.6 cm

Volume of the toy = Volume of the container with the toy - Volume of the container (with water)

Volume of the toy = $(l\times b\times h_2) - (l\times b\times h_1)$

= $(l\times b\times)(h_2-h1)$

= $(6\times 8)(6.6-4)$

= $48\times 2.6$

= $124.8$ cubic centimeters.

So,the closest value to the volume of the toy is 125 cubic centimeters.

What is the solution to this system of equations?

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

(x, y) = (5, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

A graphing calculator provides a quick and easy way to find the solution.

_____

There are several other ways to solve these equations. Or you can estimate where the answer might be using logic like this:

The intercepts of the first equation are ...

x-intercept = 26/4 = 6 1/2
y-intercept = -26/3 = -8 2/3

So the graph of it will form a triangle with the axes in the 4th quadrant.

The intercepts of the second equation are ...

x-intercept = 11/3 = 3 2/3
y-intercept = 11/2 = 5 1/2

So the graph of it will form a triangle with the axes in the 1st quadrant. The x-intercept of this one is less than the x-intercept of the first equation, so the two lines must cross in the 4th quadrant.

The only 4th-quadrant answer choice is (5, -2).
