Answer:

29 feet in length, 5 feet in width and 12 feet in height

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that for the volume of a quadrangular prism is:

V = l * w * h

Ie length times width times height

In this case, the height is determined by the squares that you put in each corner, taking into account that a square has all the same sides, the height is 12 inches. h = 12

they tell us that the length is 24 inches more than the width, that is, l = 24 + w

replacing we have:

1740 = (24 + w) * w * 12

1740 = 12 * w ^ 2 + 288 * w

12 * w ^ 2 + 288 * w - 1740 = 0

if we calculate the root, we have w = 5 or w = -29

only works when w = 5

Thus:

l = 24 + 5

l = 29

which means that the dimensions are:

29 feet in length, 5 feet in width and 12 feet in height

frutty [35]
After the music store he had $14 left, because 21:3=7 and 7x2 equals 14.

After the drink, he has $3.5 left, because 14:4=3.5 and 3.5x1=3.5.

Conclusion: that is one expensive drink. (Answer is 3 dollars and 50 cents. Hope this helped:)

Which of these describes information that can appear in a consumer’s credit report?
ss7ja [257]
I believe the answer is D. A credit report covers info on loan paying history. I was stuck between b and d but then realized it said the company gave a loan while your own credit history covers what you have paid or loaned. Hope this helps, have a nice day.
