Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to do this is to imagine the microwave as a box. Ignore the turntables, whether or not something will spin if it touches an edge, and anything else that would make the fact that we're talking about a microwave confusing. This is a box now. :)

The capacity of our box is 1.59 ft^3, which means it can hold that much of "things" inside it. Instead of a capacity, we'll think of it as the box's total area. A tricky thing to note, is the area is given in ft, where the interior values are given as inches. So we'll need to turn the inches into feet.

To get the area of a box, we do length x width x height.

We're already given the length, 14 (inches), and the width, 14 (inches), so all we need to find now is the height (feet). To turn the lengths into feet, we'll divide them by 12, because there are 12 inches in 1 foot, or Feet = Inches / 12.

To finally turn it into math:

Area (A) = length (L) * width (W) * height (H)

A = L * W * H

Insert known values.

1.59 = \frac{14}{12}  * \frac{14}{12} * H

Multiply.

1.59 = \frac{196H}{144}

Simplify.

1.59 = \frac{49H}{36}

Multiply both sides by 36.

1.59*36 = \frac{49H}{36}*36

Simplify.

57.24 = 49H

Divide both sides by 49.

\frac{57.24}{49} = \frac{49H}{49}

Simplify.

1.16816326... = H

To turn make this the nearest Tenth, we round up to the first decimal place.

Answer:

H = 1.2 ft

Which function increases at a faster rate on 0 to infinity, f(x) = x2 or g(x) = 2x? Explain your reasoning.
pochemuha

Using a table of values, the outputs of f(x) for whole numbers are 0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, and so on. For the same input values, g(x) has outputs of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64. Continuing to double the output each time results in larger outputs than those of f(x). The exponential function, g(x), has a constant multiplicative rate of change and will increase at a faster rate than the quadratic function.

Okay here is another math problem I'll give a brainliest for the right answer!
Sliva [168]
To find the total area of this figure, you have to find the area of each of the separate figures and then add those 2 answers together. Your work should look like this:

2 x 2 = 4

8 x 8 = 64

64 + 4 = 68

Your answer should be 68 ft.^2
