The volume of a cuboid is given by length × width × height
We have:
Volume = 7.6 ft³
Height = 3x - 1
Length = x + 5
Width = x
Substituting these into the formula, we have:
7.6 = (3x - 1) (x + 5) (x)
7.6 = [3x² + 15x - x - 5] (x)
7.6 = [3x² + 14x - 5](x)
7.6 = 3x³ + 14x² - 5x
0 = 3x³ + 14x² - 5x - 7.6
Drawing the graph is one way of finding the solution (refer to the graph below):
We have three solutions (where the curve crosses the x-axis):
x = -4.9
x = -0.6
x = 0.8
Putting these solutions back into the context, since we are looking for the value of x which is part of measurement of length, we cannot have negative value, so we will take the value of x = 0.8 ft
Converting 0.8 ft into inches = 0.8 × 12 inches = 9.6 inches
Answer: x = 9.6 inches
Answer:
kora is 13
Step-by-step explanation:
venla is 5 years older than kora
18-5=13
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A=πr2
Circumference = 2πr
20π = 2πr
r=10
π=3.14
A=3.14 * 10^2
=314 cm^2
Answer:
30%
Step-by-step explanation:
first we require both quantities to have the same units
converting both to minutes
1 h 3 min = 60 + 3 = 63 min
3h 30 min = (3 × 60) + 30 = 180 + 30 = 210 min
then express as a fraction and multiply by 100% to express as a percentage
× 100%
= 0.3 × 100%
= 30%
