Please HELP

A diagonal of a cube measures 30 inches. The diagonal of a face measures StartRoot 600 EndRoot inches.

In inches, what is the length of an edge of the cube? Round the answer to the nearest tenth.

(image below)

Hi There the correct answer to this is The diagonal of a cube is the square root of 3x^2, where x is a side of lengthThe three dimensional diagonal is the counterpart to the two the dimensional hypotenuse found in a right triangle...mathematically a three dimension diagonal can be found with an extension of the Pythagorean Theorem adapted to the three dimensions...

d^2=x^2+y^2+z^2  but since we are dealing with a cube, x=y=z=s where s is a side lenght...

d^2=3s^2  and we are told that the diagonal is 30 in. so

3s^2=30^2

3s^2=900

s^2=300

s=√300

s=10√3 in.  exact

s≈17.3 in.  (to the nearest tenth of an inch)

Hope it helps!

the answer is 175.4379

step-by-step explanation:

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

x - 3

discussion:

x^2 - 9 = (x-3) (x+3)   so

(x^2-9)/ (x + 3) = x-3
