Answer:
3 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
(14+2x) × (15+2x) = 2(14×15)
210 +30x +28x + 4x² = 420
4x² + 58x - 210 = 0
2x² + 29x - 105 = 0
2x² + 35x - 6x - 105 = 0
x(2x + 35) - 3(2x + 35) = 0
(x - 3)(2x + 35) = 0
x = 3, -35/2(not possible)
Answer
Step-by-step explanation:
14. For a prism, the volume is given by
.. V = Bh . . . . . . . . where B is the area of the base, and h is the height of the prism
For a pyramid, the volume is given by
.. V = (1/3)*Bh . . . . where B is the area of the base, and h is the height of the pyramid
The volume is proportional to the area of the base. If the dimensions of the base decrease linearly to zero at the height of the geometry as they do for pyramids and cones, then the volume formula includes a factor of 1/3.
15b. The volume of a pyramid is 1/3 that of a prism with the same base area and height.
According to the rule of 72, that rate will be 72/33 ≈ 2.18 percent.
