Answer:

length is 28.86ft

width= 4.12ft

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>This problem bothers on the mensuration of solid shapes, a rectangular prism.</h2>

The storage space takes the shape of a rectangular prism, and we are required to find the width and length  of the storage space.

let the width of the basement be "w"

Given data

volume v=595ft^{3}

length l = 7w ft

width w= w

height h= 5 ft

We know that the expression for the volume of a rectangular prism is

volume= length * width* height

substituting our data we have to find "w"

595= 7w*w*5\\595=7w^{2}*5\\ 595= 35w^{2} \\

dividing both sides by 35 we have

w^{2}= \frac{595}{35\\}  \\w^{2}= 17\\

find the square root of both sides we have

w=\sqrt{17} \\w= 4.12

since we know that length= 7w and width = w , we can substitute our value for w and find the length and width

length= 7*4.12= 28.86ft\\width = 4.12ft

Why is 3/4 greater thab 11/16 how can i be sure
Delicious77 [7]
You can make them have the same denominator and then compare

( \frac{3}{4}) ( \frac{16}{16}) =  \frac{48}{64}

(\frac{11}{16})( \frac{4}{4}) =  \frac{44}{64}

so as you can see, \frac{3}{4} is \frac{4}{64} bigger than  \frac{11}{16}
