Answer: You should cut out squares that are 4 inches by 4 inches.
One of the ways to do this problem is write and graph an equation. We can write an equation for the volume of this shape and then use a graphing calculator to graph it. If we look where the graph crosses 440, we will have our solution.
The volume needs to be 440. If we let x equal the side of the square that is cut out, we have the following dimensions.
Length = 19 - 2x
Width = 18 - 2x
Height = x
Volume = LWH
So our equation could be: y = (19 - 2x)(18 - 2x)x
If you graph that equation, it will intersect at the point (4, 440). Therefore, our square could be 4 by 4 inches.
Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
-20.5 is the same as -20.5
, since anything to the zero power is equal to 1.
whats the equation?
i need the equation in order to solve for x
So we start out by finding out what 80% of 500 is by,
500 * .80 = 400
So if 80% is 400 that means that there is still space available for 100 more gallons!
How the heck did we know that?!?
simple 500- 400= 100
So that leaves us knowing that there are 100 gallons left that can be held!! :)
So your answer is 100 gallons!!
I hope that this helped!
