Suppose the tank shown has a length of 2 feet, a width of 1 foot, and is filled with water to a depth of 8 inches. a stone is placed in the tank and fully submerged, causing the water level to rise by 2 inches. what is the volume of the stone?

The volume of the stone is 576 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation: The dimensions of the tank are given in feet and inches, hence we shall use the lower of the unit of measurement that is, inches. Note that 1 foot equals 12 inches, so the length is 2 feet times 12, which equals 24 inches. Also the width is 1 foot times 12 which equals 12 inches. Then the tank is filled with water up to a depth of 8 inches , so the volume of water in the tank can be calculated as follows;

Volume = L x B x H

Where Length = 24, Width = 12 and Height = 8

Volume = 24 x 12 x 8

Volume = 2304

At 2304 cubic inches, a stone is placed in the water tank and the water level rises by 2 inches which implies that the depth is now 10 inches. With the addition of the stone, the dimensions are now shown as;

Length = 24, Width = 12, and Height = 10

Volume = L x W x H

Volume = 24 x 12 x 10

Volume = 2880

With the rise in volume of water in the tank, the difference (which is the volume of the stone) now is Volume with stone minus volume without stone, that is

Volume of stone = 2880 - 2304

Volume of stone = 576

Therefore the volume of the stone is 576 cubic inches

answer:   segregation violated the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, which holds that no state can “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

details/explanation:

brown v. board of education of topeka, decided by the us supreme court in 1954, ruled that all americans are entitled to the same civil liberties and protections in regard to access to education. until that decision, it was legal to segregate schools according to race, so that black students could not attend the same schools as white students.   an older supreme court decision, plessy v. ferguson (1896), had said that separate, segregated public facilities were acceptable as long as the facilities offered were equal in quality.   in the case of brown v. board of education, that standard was challenged and defeated.   segregation was shown to create inequality, and the supreme court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional.

the ruling was important in advancing civil rights because it affirmed that the 14th amendment applies to all rights and privileges of citizens, including access to   education.   this was being violated by states whose laws supported the segregation of schools.   section 1 of the 14th amendment reads as follows:
