Answer: the length of one edge of the square base of the second container is 6 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for determining the volume of a rectangular container is expressed as
Volume = length × width × height
Considering the first container,
Length = 12 inches
Width = 8 inches
Height to which the water is filled is 6 inches.
Therefore, volume of water in the container is
12 × 8 × 6 = 576 inches³
Considering the second container,
Height of water = 16 inches
Let L represent the length of the square base. Then the area of the square base is L²
Volume of water would be 16L²
Since the water in the first container was poured into the second container, then
16L² = 576
L² = 576/16 = 36
L = √36
L = 6 inches
90 minus 32 is 58! You were off by two degrees:)
Answer:
Given a triangle ABC, Pythagoras' Theorem shows that:

Thus,

The distance formula, gives an equivalent expression based on two points at the end of the hypotenuse for a triangle.


Therefore when given the hypotenuse with endpoints at

We know that the third point of the right triangle will be at

and that the two side lengths will be defined by the absolute values of:
