Answer:

so, the width of the poster is 8.185 inches  [rounded]  /   √67 inches

and the length of the poster is 13.185 inches [rounded]  / √67 + 5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

( area can be found with the formula l × w [length × width]  )

I will call the width "x"

w  ·  l  = 72

x  ·  x + 5 = 72

          - 5    - 5

x · x = 67

x² =  67

√x²  =  √67

x ≈ 8.185

(x = √67)

so, by adding 5 inches, we get that

x + 5

8.185 + 5     [√67 + 5]

length = 13.185

so, the width of the poster is 8.185 inches  [rounded]  /   √67 inches

and the length of the poster is 13.185 inches [rounded]  / √67 + 5 inches

Nolan rides his bike 63 miles in 270 minutes. What is his average speed in miles per hour?
s2008m [1.1K]
63 miles in 270 minutes will mean that nolan rides his bike at a distance of 63/270 miles in one minute.
there are 60 minutes in an hour. So to find out the distance he covers in 1 hour, 63/270 × 60 will give you 14 miles.
Since the question is asking for the average speed, nolan rides his bike at 14 miles per hour i think.

The surface area of a rectangular prism is 32 square inches. The volume of the prism is 12 cubic inches. The sum of all edge len
Goryan [66]

Answer:

36 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length, width and height of the rectangular prism are a, b, c respectively.

So, surface area, 2(ab + bc + ca) = 32 {Given} ............ (1)

Volume, abc = 12 {Given} ............ (2)

And, the sum of all the edges, 4(a + b + c) = 28 {Given} .......... (3)

Now, if the length width and height are increased by 1 inch, then the volume of the prism will be = (a + 1)(b + 1)(c + 1)

= abc + (ab + bc + ca) + (a + b + c) + 1

= 12 + 16 + 7 + 1 {From equations (1), (2) and (3)}

= 36 cubic inches. (Answer)
