Step 1
find the volume of sand
volume of sand=8*20*3------------>Volume of sand=480 in³
Volume of sand in the new terrarium=10*24*h
where
h------------> is the <span>deep in the new terrarium
</span>remember that
the volume of sand is the same
so
10*24*h=480----------> h=480/(10*24)-----------> h=2 in
the answer is 2 in
Answer:
x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume you want to find the value of x.
Know (or prove) that in this geometry, all of the right triangles are similar. That means the ratios of corresponding sides are proportional.
short side / hypotenuse = 9/x = x/25
x^2 = (9)(25) . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 25x ("cross multiply")
x = √((9)(25)) = (3)(5) . . . take the square root
x = 15
