Riley is building a garden box for his backyard. He wants the perimeter to be 32 ft long. If he makes the width 6 ft, what will be the length of the garden box?

Length of the garden = 10 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a garden = 2(length + width)

Perimeter of the garden = 32 ft

Width of the garden = 6 ft

Length of the garden = x ft

Perimeter of a garden = 2(length + width)

32 = 2 ( x + 6 )

Open parenthesis

32 = 2x + 12

Subtract 12 from both sides

32 - 12 = 2x + 12 - 12

20 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2

20 / 2 = 2x / 2

10 = x

x = 10 ft

Therefore, length of the garden = x = 10 ft

tube or goog would be a great resource to with that question

answer: ratio of volume of cone (with 3 times the height and equal diameter) to volume of cylinder is 2 to 1. the value of π is not used.

step-by-step explanation:

radius is diameter/2 = 4.

area of circle is π r^2.

volume of cylinder is height × area of base = hπr^2 = 3(4^2) π = 48π cubic inches.

not knowing the formula for volume of cone, i calculate it using calculus (which is for calculating things).

volume of cone is integral 0 to h area(y) dy. area(y) is π r(y)^2. r(y) runs r to zero as y runs zero to h, r(0) = r, r(h) = 0.

r(y) = r - r/h y

area(y) = π (r - r/h y)^2 = π (r^2 - 2r^2y/h + r^2y^2/h^2) = π r^2(1-2y/h+y^2/h^2)

antiderivative area(y) = π r^2 (y-y^2/h+y^3/(3h^2))

integral 0 to h = π r^2(h-h^2/h+h^3/(3h^2) - (0)) = π r^2(h - h + h/3) = π r^2(h/3) = π/3 r^2 h

volume of this cone is π/3(4^2)18 cubic inches.

= 6 16 π = 96π cubic inches.

cone has twice the volume, 96/48.

cone height is 6 times the cylinder.

ratio of volume formula: π r^2 cancels.

cone over cylinder ratio is 6h/3 to h, 2 to 1.
