Answer:

The volume of foam needed to fill the box is approximately 2926.1 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the amount of foaming that is needed to fill the rest of the box we first need to calculate the volume of the box and the volume of the ball. Since the box is cubic it's volume is given by the formula below, while the formula for the basketball, a sphere, is also shown.

Vcube = a³

Vsphere = (4*pi*r³)/3

Where a is the side of the box and r is the radius of the box. The radius is half of the diameter. Applying the data from the problem to the expressions, we have:

Vcube = 15³ = 3375 cubic inches

Vsphere = (4*pi*(9.5/2)³)/3 = 448.921

The volume of foam there is needed to complete the box is the subtraction between the two volumes above:

Vfoam = Vcube - Vsphere = 3375 - 448.921 = 2926.079 cubic inches

The volume of foam needed to fill the box is approximately 2926.1 cubic inches.

prohojiy [21]
First, we have to calculate the remaining amount of money after the cost of the ticket. It is 200 - 87.96 = 112.04 Dividing this number to 30, we can find the maximum number of t-shirts she can buy. It is less 4 and more than 3. So that, the final answer is 3.

How do you solve x^2-4X-12=0
Pepsi [2]
                                         x²  -  4x  - 12  =  0

Factor the left side:      (x + 2) · (x - 6)  =  0

The equation is true if either factor is zero.

If  (x + 2) = 0  then    x = -2 .

If  (x - 6) = 0  then     x = 6 .

-73 greater than or equal to 15 + 11x
Alecsey [184]
-73 ≥ 15 + 11x 
so the first thing you should do is to add -15 on both sides of the equation so you will have:
-73 -15 ≥ 11x 
- 88 ≥ 11x 
so the answer is:
-88/11 ≥ x or -8 ≥ x :)))
