An aquarium is designing a new exhibit to showcase clownfish and queen angelfish. The exhibit will hold a rectangular tank with length twice the size of the width, height is equal to 4 feet and total volume will equal to 500 cubic feet. What is a reasonable width of the tank to the nearest tenth of a foot?

The width of the tank is approximately 7.9 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pool is a rectangular prism with the following dimensions:

length = 2*x feet

width = x feet

height = 4 feet

With volume equal to 500 cubic feet, therefore:

volume = length*width*height = 500

(2*x)*(x)*(4) = 500

8*x² = 500

x = sqrt(500 / 8)

x = sqrt(62.5)

x = 7.90569 feet

The width of the tank is 7.9 feet.

whole numbers.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the average monthly rainfall (in millimeters) model r(m) for the years 1900-2009 as a function of the month number m.

as we can see m is taken for the number of months for years 1900-2009.

we know that number of months can't be a negative number or decimal number or a fraction.

so, the number of months could be only positive whole numbers.

therefore, whole numbers is more appropriate for the domain of r.
