Answer:
B 25.2
Step-by-step explanation:
AB = AC - BC
= 51.8 - 26.6 = 25.2
I have to edit your expressions. If do not guess the right expressions you can do the maths because I will give you the procedure step by step.
1) Dimensions: 2x, 5x + 3, 3x + 1.
2) Volume of water: 22x^3 + 18x^2 + 3x [I changed the exponent of 18x^3 to 18x^2 because I think there was a mistake]
3) Calculations:
Volume of the tank = (2x)(5x+3)(3x+1) = 2x(15x^2+5x+9x+3) = 2x(15x^2+14x+3) =
= 30x^3+28x^2+6x
Volume of water = 22x^3 + 18x^2 + 3x
Volumen of the block = volume of tank - volume of water =(30x^3+28x^2+6x) - ( 22x^3 + 18x^2 + 3x) = 30x^3 +28x^2 +6x -22x^3 -18x^2 -3x =
= 8x^3 + 10x^2 + 3x
Now we can factor this last polynomial:
x(8x^2 + 10x +3) =x(2x+1)(4x+3).
The the dimensions of the metal block are x, 2x+1, 4x+3
You do not have enough information. ex. What does "41" mean? Is it in feet? Inches? Angstroms? Please provide more information.
