An artist cuts 4 squares with sides of length x ft from the corners of a 12 ft-by-18 ft rectangular piece of sheet metal. she bends up the sides and welds the corners to form a rectangular garden fountain that is x ft high. write and simplify a function for the volume v of the fountain in terms of x

a negative exponent is translated as follows:

so, we have

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal
