Answer:

The distance added to each dimension is 2 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial dimensions of the rectangular fence is 8 yards by 4 yards.

The initial area of the rectangular fence = area of a rectangle

area of a rectangle = length x width

So that,

The initial area of the fence = 8 x 4

                                              = 32

The initial area of the fence is 32 square yards.

But, with the new dimensions, area = 60 square yards.

(4 + x) x (8 + x) = 60

x^{2} + 12x + 28 = 60

x^{2} + 12x - 32 = 0

(x + 14) = 0 or (x - 2) = 0

x = -14 or x =2

Thus, x = 2

The distance added to each dimension is 2 yards.

What is the volume of this triangular prism? A triangular prism. The triangular base has a base of 28 centimeters and height of
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The volume of the triangular prism is 5676.16 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the triangular base A = bh/2 where b = base = 28 cm and h = height = 22.4 cm.

Now, the volume of the triangular prism, V = area of triangular base, A × height of prism, h'

V = Ah' where h = height of prism = 18.1 cm

So, V = bhh'/2

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation for V, we have

V = bhh'/2

V = 28 cm × 22.4 cm × 18.1 cm/2

V = 14 cm × 22.4 cm × 18.1 cm

V = 5676.16 cm³

So, the volume of the triangular prism is 5676.16 cm³
