Question:

Anderson’s Nursery was choosing between two different greenhouses.

2 greenhouses have a rectangular prism base with a length of 12 meters, width of 12 meters, and height of 10 meters.

Greenhouse 1 has a square pyramid top with a base of 12 meters by 12 meters and height of 8 meters.

Greenhouse 2 has a triangular prism top. The triangular sides have a base of 12 meters and height of 8 meters. The prism has a height of 12 meters.

Which statements are true about the greenhouses? Select two options.

A) The space inside greenhouse 1 can be found using the equation V = 12 (12) (10) + one-half (12) (12) (8).

B) The space inside greenhouse 1 can be found using the equation V = 12 (12) (10) + one-third (12) (12) (8).

C) The space inside greenhouse 2 can be found using the equation V = 12 (12) (10) + one-half (12) (12) (8).

D) The space inside greenhouse 2 can be found using the equation V = 12 (12) (10) + one-third (12) (12) (8).

E) The space inside greenhouse 1 is 192 meters cubed greater than the space inside greenhouse 2.

Options B & C are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that both greenhouses have a rectangular prism base with a length of 12 meters, width of 12 meters, and height of 10 meters.

L = 12 m

w = 12 m

h = 10 m

To find the volume of this rectangular prism, let's use the formula:

V = w*h*l

V = 12 * 12 * 10

V = 1440 m³

Then, greenhouse 1 has a square pyramid top with a base of 12 meters by 12 meters and height of 8 meters.

b = 12 x 12

h = 8

The volume of a square pyramid formula is:

V = ⅓*a²h

V = ⅓*12²*8

V = 384 m³

To find the total volume of greenhouse 1, let's add the volume of the rectangular prism and the square pyramid.

V = 12*12*10 + ⅓*12²*8

V = 1440 + 384 = 1824m³

Therefore, the space inside greenhouse 1 is 1824m³

Similarly, greenhouse 2 has a triangular prism top. The triangular sides have a base of 12 meters and height of 8 meters. The prism has a height of 12 meters.

b = 12 m

h = 8 m

height of prism = 12 m

To find the volume of a triangular prism, we have:

½*(bh) * h

V = ½(12*8)*12

V = 576 m³

To find the total volume of greenhouse 2, let's add the volume of the rectangular prism and the triangular prism.

V = (12 * 12 * 10) + (½(12*8)*12)

V = 1440 + 576

V = 2016 m³

Therefore, the space inside greenhouse 2 is 2016m³

From the calculations above the correct options would be:

(B) The space inside greenhouse 1 can be found using the equation V = 12 (12) (10) + one-third (12) (12) (8).

(C) The space inside greenhouse 2 can be found using the equation V = 12 (12) (10) + one-half (12) (12) (8).

Options A, D and E are wrong.

Option E is wrong because the space inside greenhouse 1 is (1824-2016 = -192) 192 meters cubed lesser than the space inside greenhouse 2.

THE ANSWERS ARE B AND C

B: The space inside greenhouse 1 can be found using the equation V = 12 (12) (10) + one-third (12) (12) (8).

C: The space inside greenhouse 2 can be found using the equation V = 12 (12) (10) + one-half (12) (12) (8).
