A rectangular container has a base that is 12 inches long and 8 inches wide. The container is filled with water to a height of 6 inches. If all the water is poured into a second container with a square base, it will rise to a height of 16 inches. What is the length of one edge of the square base of the second container?

the length of one edge of the square base of the second container is 6 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the volume of a rectangular container is expressed as

Volume = length × width × height

Considering the first container,

Length = 12 inches

Width = 8 inches

Height to which the water is filled is 6 inches.

Therefore, volume of water in the container is

12 × 8 × 6 = 576 inches³

Considering the second container,

Height of water = 16 inches

Let L represent the length of the square base. Then the area of the square base is L²

Volume of water would be 16L²

Since the water in the first container was poured into the second container, then

16L² = 576

L² = 576/16 = 36

L = √36

L = 6 inches

es una operación aritmética.

step-by-step explanation:

no se que fórmula requiera, pero te puedo decir que es adición. deberías revisar porque tema vas y ver que fórmulas puedes aplicar.

if i put something wrong your not gonna like it so rather not say nothing.
