Answer:

After 1 year, both the tress will be of the same height.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume in x years, both trees  have same height.

Type A  is 7 feet tall and grows at a rate of 8 inches per year.

⇒The growth of tree A in x years = x times  ( Height growth each year)

                                                        = 8 (x)  = 8 x

⇒Actual height of tree A in x years  = Initial Height + Growth in x years

                                                             = 7 + 8 x

or, the height of tree A after  x years  = 7 + 8x

Type B is 9 feet tall and grows at a rate of 6 inches per year.

⇒The growth of tree B in x years = x times  ( Height growth each year)

                                                        = 6 (x)  = 6 x

⇒Actual height of tree B in x years  = Initial Height + Growth in x years

                                                             = 9 + 6 x

or, the height of tree B after  x years  = 9 + 6x

According to the question:

After x years, Height of tree A  =Height of tree B

⇒7 + 8x   = 9 + 6x

or, 8x - 6x = 9 - 7

or, 2 x  = 2

or, x  =  2/2  = 1    ⇒ x  = 1

Hence, after 1 year, both the tress will be of the same height.

gregori [183]

Answer:

LxWxH

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume can be calculated by using the formula: (length) x (width) x (height)

In this particular question, you are given the length as 13cm, the width as 8cm, and the height of 22cm.

To obtain the volume, you should plug these numbers into the formula (length) x (width) x (height)

When plugged in, the equation should look like this: (13cm) x (8cm) x (22cm).

When 13 x 8 x 22 =2288cm

Since you are calculating the volume, the answer will be given in centimeters cubed, so your final answer will be 2,288cm^3

Hope this explanation helps :)
