Answer:

  F.  8

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the long side to the short side is the same in similar triangles. The long side of triangle BAD is AD, which has length 20-4 = 16.

  BD/DE = AD/BD

  h/4 = 16/h

  h^2 = 64 . . . . . . . multiply by 4h

  h = 8 . . . . . . . . . . take the square root (matches selection F)

_____

<em>Comment on this geometry</em>

BD = √(AD·DC) is called the "geometric mean" of the segments AD and DC. This geometry has some other geometric mean relationships as well:

BC = √(AC·DC)

BA = √(AC·AD)

Answer:

2304 \ in^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the surface dimensions of the garden as 24 inches by 48 inches:

#Calculate surface area of the garden's top:

A=lw\\\\=48\times 24\\\\=1152 in^2

Given the soil's thickness is 2 Inches, we multiply this thickness by the garden's surface area to get volume of soil used:

V=tA, t-thickness, A=Area=1152 \ in^2\\\\=2 \ in \times 1152\ in^2\\\\=2304 \ in^3

Hence, the amount of soil used is 2304 cubic inches.
