You are going to make three shelves for your father and have one piece of lumber 20 feet long. Your plan is to make the top shel

f half a foot shorter than the middle shelf and to have the bottom shelf half a foot shorter than twice the length of the top shelf. How long is each shelf? t= length of the top shelf t=m-1/2 m = length of middle shelf b = length of bottom shelf. B=2t-1/2 t+m+b=20

Answer:

The top shelf is 5 feet, the middle shelf is 5.5 feet and the bottom shelf is 9.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t= length of the top shelf, m = length of middle shelf and b = length of bottom shelf.

Therefore:

t = m - 1/2; m = t  + 1/2

Also, b = 2t - 1/2

The total of the three shelves is 20 feet, therefore:

t + m + b = 20

Substituting:

t + t + 1/2 + 2t - 1/2 = 20

4t = 20

t = 20/4

t = 5 feet

m = t + 1/2 = 5 + 1/2 = 5.5 feet

b = 2t - 1/2 = 2(5) - 1/2 = 9.5 feet

The top shelf is 5 feet, the middle shelf is 5.5 feet and the bottom shelf is 9.5 feet

Please answer question plz!!!!!
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

V = 214.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

You have to be a little careful with this question. The temptation is just to take the difference of the heights. That is not correct. The difference has to be multiplied by the base to get the volume.

Formula

V = (h1 - h2)* Base

Givens

h1 = 32.9

h2 = 29.1

Base = 56.4

Solution

V = 56.4 ( 32.9 - 29.2)

V = 56.4 * 3.8

V = 214.32
