Answer:
inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
The longest line segment in a right rectangular prism is the diagonal that connects two opposite vertices. On the first diagram attached, the green line segment connecting A and G is one such diagonals. The goal is to find the length of segment
.
In this diagram (not to scale,)
(length of prism,)
(width of prism,)
(height of prism.)
Pythagorean Theorem can help find the length of
, one of the longest line segments in this prism. However, note that this theorem is intended for right triangles in 2D, not the diagonal in a 3D prism. The workaround is to simply apply this theorem on two different right triangles.
Start by finding the length of line segment
. That's the black dotted line in the diagram. In right triangle
(second diagram,)
- Segment
is the hypotenuse. - One of the legs of
is
. The length of
is
, same as the length of this prism. - Segment
is the other leg of this triangle. The length of
is
, same as the width of this prism.
Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to right triangle
to find the length of
, the hypotenuse of this triangle:
.
Consider right triangle
(third diagram.) In this triangle,
- Segment
is the hypotenuse, while
and
are the two legs.
. The length of segment
is the same as the height of the rectangular prism,
(inches.) Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to right triangle
to find the length of the hypotenuse
:
.
Hence, the length of the longest line segment in this prism is
inches.

Answer:
2162.2 degrees Celsius
Step-by-step explanation:
Celsius (°C) = (Fahrenheit - 32) / 1.8
3924-32 = 3892
3982 / 1.8 = 2162.2222222222222222222222
Rounded is 2162.2
Answer:
All of these terms are dollar amounts.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, x + y = 10 (where these numerals represent counts)
(1/2)x + (1/4)y = 4 (where (1/2), (1/4) and 4 are dollar amounts)
Let's eliminate y. To accomplish this, mult. the 2nd eq'n by-4, obtaining
-2x - y = -16, and then combining this with the 1st equation, as follows:
-2x - y = -16
x + y = 10
-------------------
-x = -6, or x = 6. This represents the number of pens purchased by Terrance.
Subbing 6 for x in the first equation, we get y = 4. This represents the number of pencils he bought.
($0.50)x + ($0.25)y = $4.00 (dollar amounts)
Answer is a, 57.49.
17.42-12.60-9.62= $-4.80+62.29=57.49
