Hi there. I am having an issue figuring out which is the base and which is the length.

We can split the given figure in 2 right triangles:

So, in order to get the area of each triangle, we need to find the base, denoted by x in both of them. Since both are right triangles, we can to apply Pythagoresn theorem. By applying this theorem to right hand side triangle, we have

x^2+8^2=17^2

so we have

\begin{gathered} x^2+64=289 \\ then \\ x^2=289-64 \\ x^2=225 \end{gathered}

Then, x is given by

x=\sqrt{225}=15

Then, the area of the left triangle is given by

A_1=\frac{base\times height}{2}=\frac{15\times36}{2}=270in^2

Similarly, the area of the second triangle is given by

A_2=\frac{base\times height}{2}=\frac{15\times8}{2}=60in^2

Then, the area of the entire figure is the sum of the area of the 2 triangles, that is,

A=A_1+A_2=270+60=330in^2

Therefore, the answer is: 330 square inches

Devon made a box with length x+1, width x+3, and height x-3. What is the volume of Devon's box as a function of x?
erica [24]

Answer:

(a)

V=x^3+x^2-9x-9

(b)

x=10

(c)

x=\frac{7}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

length is x+1

L=x+1

width is x+3

W=x+3

height is x-3

H=x-3

(a)

we can use volume formula

V=L\times W\times H

now, we can plug it

V=(x+1)\times (x+3)\times (x-3)

now, we can simplify it

V=x^3+x^2-9x-9

(b)

we are given volume =1001

so, we can set V=1001

and then we can solve for x

V=x^3+x^2-9x-9=1001

now, we can factor it

\left(x-10\right)\left(x^2+11x+101\right)=0

x-10=0

x=10

(b)

we are given volume

so, we can set

V=14\frac{5}{8}=\frac{14\times 8+5}{8}

V=\frac{117}{8}

and then we can solve for x

V=x^3+x^2-9x-9=\frac{117}{8}

now, we can factor it

8x^3+8x^2-72x-189=0

\left(2x-7\right)\left(4x^2+18x+27\right)=0

2x-7=0

x=\frac{7}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 17 > 37

Subtract 17 from each side

5x + 17-17 > 37-17

5x > 20

Divide each side by 5

5x/5 > 20/5

x > 4
