1.The length,width,and height of a rectangular solid are in the ratio of 3:2:1.
\n" ); document.write( "If the volume of the box is 48,what is the total surface area of the box?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let x = \"the multiplier\"
\n" ); document.write( "The three dimensions, then are; 3x by 2x by x
\n" ); document.write( "then the volume
\n" ); document.write( "3x * 2x * x = 48
\n" ); document.write( "6x^3 = 48
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 6
\n" ); document.write( "x^3 = 48/6
\n" ); document.write( "x^3 = 8
\n" ); document.write( "x = the cube root of 8 which is:
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2 the multiplier
\n" ); document.write( "Then the Dimensions are 6 by 4 by 2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "find the surface area:
\n" ); document.write( "S.A. = 2(L*W) + 2(L*H) + 2(W*H)
\n" ); document.write( "S.A. = 2(6*4) + 2(6*2) + 2(4*2)
\n" ); document.write( "S.A. = 48 + 24 + 16
\n" ); document.write( "S.A. = 88 sq units
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2.A cube whose volume is 1/8 cubic foot is placed on top of a cube whose volume is 1 cubic foot.
\n" ); document.write( "The two cubes are then placed on top of a third cube,whose volume is 8 cubic feet.
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "Find the length of the side of each cube, (the side is the cube root of the vol)
\n" ); document.write( "\"%281%2F8%29%5E%281%2F3%29\" = \"1%2F2\" ft
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%5E%281%2F3%29\" = 1 ft
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"8%5E%281%2F3%29\" = 2 ft\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "What is the height,in inches, of the stacked cubes?
\n" ); document.write( "h = \"1%2F2\" + 1 + 2 = 3\"1%2F2\" ft which is: 3(12) + 6 = 42 inches high
