<h3>Answer: approximately 0.19 meters long</h3>

The more accurate value is 0.18982439916059 but this value isn't exact

========================================================

Explanation:

The volume of this rectangular block is 0.24*0.19*0.15 = 0.00684 cubic meters.

If we had a cube of this volume, then it has some side length x such that x^3 = 0.00684

Apply the cube root to both sides. This is the same as raising both sides to the 1/3 power

x^3 = 0.00684\\\\x = \sqrt[3]{0.00684}\\\\x = (0.00684)^{1/3}\\\\x \approx 0.18982439916059\\\\x \approx 0.19\\\\

The side length of the cube is approximately 0.19 meters long

A volume of the cone is (1/3) the volume of a cylinder. The volume of the sphere is what fraction of the volume of the cylinder?
xenn [34]

Answer:

4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

To know this, let's write down the formulas for the volume of cylinder and sphere.

Vs = 4/3πr³   (1)

Vc = π r² h    (2)

Now, we do have a little problem here and its the fact that the sphere do not have a height like the cylinder do. But in this case so if you want to have an idea of the fraction of the volume, we will assume that the cylinder has the same height as its radius. Assuming this we have the following:

Vs / Vc = 4πr³ / 3πr²h

Vs/Vc = 4πr³ / 3πr³

From here, we can cancel out the values of π and r³:

Vs/Vc = 4/3

<h2>Vs = 4/3 Vc</h2>

Thus we can conclude that the volume of the sphere is 4/3 the volume of a cylinder.

Hope this helps

How do I factor 6x^2+17x+5=0
Sergio [31]

Split the second term in 6x^2 + 17x + 5 into two terms

6x^2 + 15x + 2x + 5 = 0

Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.

3x(2x + 5) + (2x + 5) = 0

Factor out the common term 2x + 5

(2x + 5)(3x + 1) = 0

Solve for x

<u>x = -5/2, -1/3</u>

A box is to be constructed from a sheet of cardboard that is 10 cm by 60 cm by cutting out squares of length x by x from each co
Stells [14]

Volume of a rectangular box = length x width x height<span>

From the problem statement,
length = 60 - 2x
width = 10 - 2x
height = x</span>

<span>
where x is the height of the box or the side of the equal squares from each corner and turning up the sides

V = (60-2x) (10-2x) (x)
V = (60 - 2x) (10x - 2x^2)
V = 600x - 120x^2 -20x^2 + 4x^3
V = 4x^3 - 100x^2 + 600x

To maximize the volume, we differentiate the expression of the volume and equate it to zero.

V = </span>4x^3 - 100x^2 + 600x<span>
dV/dx = 12x^2 - 200x + 600
12x^2 - 200x + 600 = 0</span>

<span>x^2 - 50/3x + 50 = 0

Solving for x,
x1 = 12.74 ;      Volume = -315.56  (cannot be negative)
x2 = 3.92 ;      Volume = 1056.31

So, the answer would be that the maximum volume would be 1056.31 cm^3.
