Answer:

The length of the base in feet is 8 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume V of the rectangular prism is given by

V = l × w × h

But Area, A = l × w

∴ V = A × h

Where A is the base area and h is the height

From the question

A = 56 ft.²  and V = 840 ft.³

∴ 840 ft.³ = 56 ft.² × h

840 ft.³ / 56 ft.² = h

15 ft. = h

∴ h = 15 ft.

Hence, the height of the rectangular prism is 15 ft.

Also, from the question

the sum of the length and the width of the base is equal to the height

i.e l + w = h

where l is the length of the base and w is the width of the base

Then, l + w = 15 ------ (1)

Also, A = l × w

Then, 56 = l × w ------- (2)

From equation (1)

l + w = 15

Then, w = 15 - l ------- (3)

Substitute this into equation (2)

56 = l × w

56 = l × (15-l)

56 = 15l - l²

Then,

l²- 15l + 56 = 0

l² -8l -7l + 56 = 0

l(l - 8) -7(l - 8) = 0

(l - 7)(l - 8) = 0

l - 7 = 0 OR l - 8 = 0

∴ l = 7 OR l = 8

Substitute the values of l into equation (3)

w = 15 - l

when l = 7

w = 15 - 7

w = 8

and when l = 8

w = 15 - 8

w = 7

From the question, the length of the base is longer than the width

∴ l = 8 and w = 7

Hence, the length of the base in feet is 8 ft.

Zoe creates a spreadsheet to make simple interest calculations. The user input values for the principal, rate, and time in years
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

a. For A2 to compute the interest.

b. For B2 to compute the principal.

c. For C2 to compute the interest rate.

d. For D2 to compute time in years, given the interest, rate, and the principal.

e. For E2 to compute the time in months, given the time in years.

a) A2 = B2 x C2 x D2

b) B2 = A2/ (C2 x D2)

c) C2 = A2/ (B2 x D2)

d) B2 = A2/ (C2 x D2)

e) E2 = 12 x D2

I know they only asked for principle, I just added for imformation lol
