We are given the equation:
a) It's equired to solve the equation for b12.
Multipl both sides of ethe equation by 6 to eliminae denominators:
Divide by hH to isolate the sum of b1 + b2:
Finally, subtract b1:
b) Given the values V = 216, h = 8, H = 9, and b1 = 5, substitute in the equation above:
Calculating:
Answer: b2 = 13 cm
