Answer:

  4√41 ≈ 25.61 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The shortest route is the one that crosses the longest edge between room surfaces. In this case, that is the 16-foot edge between the floor and wall opposite the amplifier, or the 16-foot edge between the ceiling and the wall adjacent to the amplifier.

The length of the required wire is ...

  √((8+12)² +16²) = √656 = 4√41 ≈ 25.61 . . . feet

A container has 360 gallons ; daniel took 1/3 of water to give to the animals in the ranch; how many gallons of water are left?
Mrrafil [7]

Answer: 240 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the container has 360 gallons and that Daniel took 1/3 of water to give to the animals in the ranch. Therefore, the amount of water that Daniel took will be:

= 1/3 × 360

= 120 gallons

Since we have 360 gallons at the beginning and Daniel has taken 120 gallons, the amount of gallons that'll be left will be:

= 360 - 120

= 240 gallons
