Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

27 is the "center" of a range of measurements of the height of the guard rail.  The height could be as much as 30 inches or as little as 24 inches.  The absolute value operator encloses "x - 27," where 27 is the "center."  The acceptable excess or acceptable deficiency is 3 inches.  

So now we can eliminate possible answers B and C, in both cases because 27 is inappropriately greater than 3.

Narrowing down our choices, we have h + 27 and h - 27 inside the absolute value operator.  27 is a positive quantity (height of the guard rail), so the inequality showing +27 as the "center" is correct; that is

D:  |h - 27| ≤ 3 (measurements in inches).

How do you find a side length of a cube with the surface area of one face (64cm)
jasenka [17]
Fact #1:
A cube has six faces.

Fact #2:
Every one of them has the same area.

Fact #3:
The surface area of each face is (the length of the cube's side)²

Now that I look at this one more carefully, the only thing you need to know
to solve it is Fact #3.  (But you can keep the others and save them for later.)

The surface area of each face is (the length of the cube's side)²

64 is the (length of the cube's side)²

Can you find a number that gives you 64 when you multiply it by itself ?
That's the length of the cube's side.

Hint: If you don't get ' 8 ', work on it a little more.

Find the value of x and y.
spayn [35]

By the geometric mean theorem,

\frac{y}{4}=\frac{12}{y} \\ \\ y^{2}=48 \\ \\ \boxed{y=4\sqrt{3}}

So, by the Pythagorean theorem,

12^{2}+(4\sqrt{3})^{2}=x^{2}\\\\144+48=x^{2}\\\\192=x^{2}\\\\\boxed{x=8\sqrt{3}}
