To find the volume of a container, you simply multiply: L(ength) x B(ase) x H(eight).
In total, you should get a volume of 1078in^3 (the bigger container) plus 175in^3 (the smaller container on top of the bigger one). The answer is 1,253in^3.
Hope this helped! :)
2x² + 5x + 2 = 9
2x² + 5x + 2 - 9 = 9 - 9
2x² + 5x - 7 = 0
x = <u>-5 +/- √(5² - 4(2)(-7))</u>
2(2)
x = <u>-5 +/- √(25 + 56)</u>

x = <u>-5 +/- √(81)

The answer is B. Because when you add any two sides they are greater than the side that was not added.
