The dimensions of a portable kennel can be expressed as width x, length x + 0.4, and height x − 0.2? What are the dimensions of

a portable kennel with a volume of 7.4 ft3? Use a graphing calculator to solve. Round the dimensions to the nearest tenth.

Answer:

L=2.3\ ft\\W=1.9\ ft\\H=1.7\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of a portable kennel (rectangular prism) is equal to

V=LWH

where

L=(x+0.4)\ ft\\W=x\ ft\\H=(x-0.2)\ ft

V=7.4\ ft^3

substitute the given values in the formula of volume

7.4=(x+0.4)(x)(x-0.2)

Apply distributive property right side

7.4=x(x^2-0.2x+0.4x-0.08)

7.4=x(x^2+0.2x-0.08)

7.4=x^3+0.2x^2-0.08x

x^3+0.2x^2-0.08x-7.4=0

Solve the cubic equation by graphing

using a graphing tool

The solution is x=1.9

see the attached figure

Find the dimensions

substitute the value of x

L=(1.9+0.4)=2.3\ ft\\W=1.9\ ft\\H=(1.9-0.2)=1.7\ ft

An oil rig has a height of 74.98 m visible above water and extends 518.16 m below the surface to the sea floor. What is the tota
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

  1. So you know that the height that is visible above x=0 is 74.98 m
  2. From x=0 below it has a total height of 518.16m to the sea floor

That tells us that we have two parts account for

  1. 74.98+518.16m = 593.14 m

Does a regular pentagon tessellate and why​
mariarad [96]

Answer:

No, a regular pentagon does not tessellate.

In a tessellation, all the angles at a point have to add to 360 degrees, as this means there is no overlap, nor are there gaps. To find the interior angle sum of a pentagon, we use the following formula:

(n-2)*180 (where n is the number of sides)

We plug in the number of sides (5) and get:

Angle sum = (5–2)*180

Angle sum = 3*180

Angle sum = 540

Regular pentagons have equal sides and equal angles, so to find the size of the interior angle of a pentagon, we divide the angle sum by 5 and get 108 degrees for every angle.

As I said before, the angles at a point need to add up to 360, so we need to know if 108 divides evenly into 360. If it does, the shape tessellates, and, if it doesn’t, the shape does not.

360/108 = 3.33333…

This means that a regular pentagon does not tessellate.

Hope this helps!
