A rectangular bathtub has a depth of 24 in., a width of 24 in., and a length of 60 in. If the tub is filled up to 3 inches below the top, how much water is in the tub?

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem bothers on the mensuration of solid shapes, a rectangular prism in the form of a bathtub.

Given data

depth of bathtub= 24 in

width of bathtub= 24 in

length of bathtub= 60 in

the volume of water in the bathtub is a function of the depth of water in relation with the dimension of the bathtub.

the depth of water is 3 in below the the top

hence the depth of water (24 in- 3 in)= 21 in

the expression for the volume of water is given as

options a,b,c are the right answer.

step-by-step explanation:

a linear parent function is always represented as y = x

if we write this function in the form of y=mx+c

⇒

or  

now if we plot a graph we will find these characteristics:

1) y intercept of the graph is zero so its a straight line passing through origin.

2) as we can see in both the forms of function written, values of x and y may be either positive or negative for the positive slope means points on the graph are either in first quadrant or in third one.

3) it's slope is one.

answer: 2530

hope this
