. Suppose you plan to make a box that will hold exactly 40 one-inch cubes. Give the dimensions (ex: 1in x 1in x 40in) of 3 possible boxes you can create to hold all cubes.

The dimensions of the three possible boxes are;

Box 1:  2 inches length by 4 inches width by 5 inches height

Box 2:  2 inches length by 2 inches width by 10 inches height

Box 3:  8 inches length by 1 inch width by 5 inches height

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the required box = 40 in³

Therefore, a box that will hold all the cubes will have a dimension given as follows;

Length, l × Width, w × Height, h = 40 in.³

We therefore, look for possible dimensions of l, w, h, however to make is faster, we note that l × w = base area, BA, hence we look for the factors 40 thus;

BA × h        ≡  l × w × h

8  × 5 = 40 ≡ 2 × 4 × 5 = 40

4 × 10 = 40 ≡ 2 × 2 × 10 = 40

8 × 5 = 40 ≡ 8 × 1 × 5 = 40

Hence we have our three possible boxes as follows;

Box 1: Length = 2 inches, width = 4 inches and height = 5 inches

Box 2: Length = 2 inches, width = 2 inches and height = 10 inches

Box 3: Length = 8 inches, width = 1 inches and height = 5 inches.

0.6, 3/5, and 6% are the 3 same portion.

but, when they're all changed to a decimal they would equal to 0.6.

hope this , good luck!

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
