Third answer! Data varies!
Answer:
√446 ≈ 21.12 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The longest dimension of a rectangular prism is the length of the space diagonal from one corner to the opposite corner through the center of the prism. The Pythagorean theorm tells you the square of its length is the sum of the squares of the dimensions of the prism:
d² = (15 cm)² +(11 cm)² +(10 cm)² = (225 +121 +100) cm² = 446 cm²
d = √446 cm ≈ 21.12 cm
The longest line segment that can be drawn in a right rectangular prism is about 21.12 cm.

The square of the face diagonal is the sum of the squares of the dimensions of that face. The square of the space diagonal will be the sum of that square and the square of the remaining prism dimenaion, hence the sum of squares of all three prism dimensions.
For #32,
P=2L+2W
Subtract 2W from both sides, and swap left and right
2L = P-2W
Divide by 2
2L/2=(P-2W)/2
L = P/2 - 2W/2
L=P/2 - W
For #35
Most of the expenses are in fractions (of the original amount, A), so they can be added:
A/4 + A/5 + 2A/5 + 750 = A
add the fractions, with a common denominator of 20,
5A/20 + 4A/20 + 8A/20 +750 = A
(5A+4A+8A)/20 +750 = A
17A/20 + 750 = A
Now subtract 17A/20 from both sides and swap left and right
A - 17A/20 = 750
(3/20)A = 750
Multiply both sides by 20/3 (to make one unit of A on the left)
(3/20)*(20/3) A = 750*20/3
A =250*20=5000
