The manufacturer of a wooden feeding trough for farm animals makes the sides and bottom of the trough 1 foot thick. The outer he

ight and outer width of the trough are the same, and the outer length is twice the outer height and outer width. What should the outer dimensions of the trough be if the trough is to hold 36 cubic feet of feed?

Answer:

outer width of trough = outer height of trough = x = 4ft

outer length of trough = 2x = 8ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x = outer width of trough = outer height of trough

Now, according to given condition:

2x = outer length of trough

Now we calculate the inner dimensions by subtracting the thickness (1 ft)

Therefore,

x - 2(1ft) = x - 2ft = inner width of trough (because 1ft from both sides will be subtracted)

x - 1ft = inner height of trough (because only bottom thickness will be subtracted)

2x - 2ft = inner length of trough (because 1ft from both sides will be subtracted)

Now, for the holding volume or inside volume of trough will be:

Inner Volume = 36\ ft^3 = inner\ height*inner\ width*inner\ length \\36 = (x - 1)(x - 2)(2x - 2)\\36 = (x - 1)(2x^2 - 6x + 4)\\36 = (2x^3 - 6x^2 + 4x - 2x^2 + 6x - 4)\\36 = (2x^3 -8x^2 + 10x - 4) \\2x^3 -8x^2 + 10x - 40 = 0\\2x^2(x-4)+10(x-4) = 0\\(x-4)(2x^2+10) = 0\\

So, we will have three roots from this solution. Two, of them will be complex from the second factor. So, we ignore them and take the third one as our answer:

x - 4 = 0

x = 4ft

Now the outer dimensions will be:

<u>outer width of trough = outer height of trough = x = 4ft</u>

<u>outer length of trough = 2x = 8ft</u>

the volume v of a tank varies directly with its height h a tank 12 ft High holds 300 cubic feet write an equation relating v &am
Liula [17]

v varies directly with height means

v/h=k were k is a constant

or also h/v=k where k is a constant (this is a different k than previous)

so if h=12 and v=300 then

h/v=12/300=1/25=k

so the relationhip could be h/v=1/25


if you di v/h, then

v/h=300/12=25/1=25=k

so the relationship could be v/h=25

(2,1),(-3,1) how do you solve this I’m looking for the slope I also have to show work
shutvik [7]

Answer: 0

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, you would need to use the formula m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}.

m=\frac{1-1}{-3-2} =\frac{0}{-5} =0

The slope is 0, meaning the line is horizontal.

the value of the 6 in 3.264 is (blank) the value of the 6 in 0.576. a. 10 times as much as or b. 1/10 of
fgiga [73]

The correct answer is ten times as much.

When we look at decimals, each place closer to the decimal point is ten times greater. The first 6 is in the hundreths place and the second one is one spot further away. As a result, the first is 10 times as much as the second.
