Faces diagonals
If the diagonals of a cuboid are x, y, and z (wall diagonals or three faces) respectively than find the volume of a cuboid. Solve for x=1.3, y=1, z=1.2
Voltmeter range
We have a voltmeter which in the original set measures voltage to 10V. Calculate the size of the ballast resistor for this voltmeter, if we want to measure the voltage up to 50V. Voltmeter's internal resistance is 2 kiloohm/Volt.
Car down
Sarah buys a car costing $12,500. It depreciates in value by 8% in the first year, 10% the second year and 5% in the third year. Calculate the value of a car after the third year.

A regular tetrahedral pyramid is given. Base edge length a = 6.5 cm, side edge s = 7.5 cm. Calculate the volume and the area of its face (side area).
Alien ship
The alien ship has the shape of a sphere with a radius of r = 3000m, and its crew needs the ship to carry the collected research material in a cuboid box with a square base. Determine the length of the base and (and height h) so that the box has the large
Angles of elevation
From points A and B on level ground, the angles of elevation of the top of a building are 25° and 37° respectively. If |AB| = 57m, calculate, to the nearest meter, the distances of the top of the building from A and B if they are both on the same side of
Space diagonal
The space diagonal of a cube is 129.91 mm. Find the lateral area, surface area and the volume of the cube.
Three-day trip

Find the distance between the points (7, -9), (-1, -9)
The sum
The sum of the first 10 members of the arithmetic sequence is 120. What will be the sum if the difference is reduced by 2?
Divide 8
Divide 6840 by x y and z, in such a way that x has twice as much as y, who has half as much as z
Red and white
Simona picked 63 tulips in the garden and tied bicolor bouquets for her girlfriends. The tulips were only red and white. She put as many tulips in each bouquet, three of which were always red. How much could Simon tear off white tulips? Write all the opti
