Answer:

  V = a³/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the original cube is the cube of the side length:

  V = a³

When the side length is reduced to half its former value, the new volume is ...

  V = (a/2)³ = a³/2³

  V = a³/8 . . . . volume of the new cube

Arturiano [62]

Complete Question:

On a number​ line, the coordinates of​ X, Y,​ Z, and W are −8​, −5​, 4​, and 6​, respectively. Find the lengths of the two segments below. Then tell whether they are congruent. \overline{XY} and \overline{ZW}

Answer:

\overline{XY} = 3

\overline{ZW} = 2

They are not congruent

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of segment XY:

Coordinate of X = -8

Coordinate of Y = -5

\overline{XY} = |-8 -(-5)| = |-8 + 5| = 3

Length of ZW:

Coordinate of Z = 4

Coordinate of W = 6

\overline{ZW} = |4 - 6| = 2

\overline{XY} ≠ \overline{ZW}, therefore, they are not congruent.

Describe how to estimate a non-perfect square root to the hundredths place without using a calculator.
GaryK [48]
1) find the perfect square closest to the number
2) take that square root, and then divide your number by that number
3) take the average of the perfect square root (the whole number) and the result of dividing your original number by that root. 

Example: Approximate square root of 27
Closest perfect square: 25
Square root: 5
27 ÷ 5 = 5.4
Average between 5 and 5.4 = 5.20
5.2² = 27.04. Fast and not a bad approximation!

Let f (x)= x + 18 − 3 x − 15 Choose the correct interval form for the DOMAIN of f and then enter the values for the endpoint(s)
natulia [17]

Answer:

The domain of f(x) corresponds to the set of real numbers.

D f(x) ∈ ∀X; D f(x) ∈ R

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=X+18-3X-15

f(x)=-2X+3 (right line with negative slope)

This function exists for all values of X, so the domain corresponds to the set of real numbers.

D f(x) ∈ ∀X; D f(x) ∈ R
