A box measures 1/6 ft. long, 1/4 ft. wide, and 1/3 ft. high. Find the volume of the box in inches. Do not include units in your
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the final answer has to be in inches.

To convert ft = in, multiply given ft. by 12.

1/6 = 1/6 * 12 = 2

1/4 = 0.25 * 12 = 3

1/3 = 0.3 * 12 = 4

2*3*4 = 23 cubic in.

The circumference of the circle-shaped rug is 69.08 inches.
adelina 88 [10]
We can find the diameter by dividing the circumference by 3.14
d = 22

Thus, our radius is 11.
r = 11

Now, let's use the area formula (3.14 \cdot r^2) to solve for the area.
a = 3.14 \cdot (11^2) = \boxed{379.94}

Given parallelogram ABCD, find the lengths and angles required.
irakobra [83]

Answer:

x = 3, line AB = 17 ,  and line CD = 17

y = 10, angle A = 70, and angle D = 70

Step-by-step explanation:

well since their the same length you can put them equal to each otheir

5x + 2 = 8x - 7

subtract 5x by both sides to get --> 2 = 3x -7

add 7 to both sides and get --> 9 = 3x

divide 3 by both sides to get x = 3

now plug it back in each equation we started with and get you answers

Same steps for y but different equations

A boiler room has the shape of a rectangular prism. The area of the floor of the room is 112 square feet. The length of the room
Naddik [55]

Answer:

Length = 16 feet.

Width = 7 feet

Height = 8 feet

Volume = 896 cubic feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a rectangular prism boiler room. 112 square feet is the floor area of the room.

Let the length of the room is L feet and width is W feet.

So, LW = 112 ...... (1)

Now, given that L = 2 + 2W ........ (2) , hence, from equation (1) we get  

(2 + 2W)W = 112

⇒ 2w + 2w² = 112

⇒ W² + W - 56 = 0

⇒ (W +8)(W - 7) = 0

⇒ W = 7 feet. {Neglecting the negative root as W can not be negative}

Hence, from equation (2) we get L = 2W + 2 = 16 feet.

Now, 1 foot more than the width is the height H.

Hence, H = 7 + 1 = 8 feet.

Therefore, the volume of the room is, V = LWH = 16 × 7 × 8 = 896 cubic feet. (Answer)
