Answer: the cubic equation is

L^3 - 52L +144 =0

Lenght= 4inches

Width = 2inches

Height = 3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the lenght= L

Let the width = W

Let the height = H

Volume of the box = 24 cubic inch

Total surface area of the box = 52 sq. Inches

W = L/2

W, = 0.5L

Volume = L * B * H

Insert W = 0.5L

L * 0.5L * H = 24

0.5L^2 * H = 24

H = 24/0.5L^2

= 48/L^2

Surface area equation

2(L*W) + 2(L+H) + 2(W+H)= 52

Divide through by 2

(L*W) + (L+H) + (W*H) = 26

Insert W= 0.5L

(L*0.5L) + (L*H) + (0.5L*H) = 26

0.5L^2 + LH + 0.5LH = 26

0.5L^2 + 1.5LH = 26

Insert H = 48/L^2

0.5L^2 + 1.5*48/L = 26

0.5L^2 + 72/L = 26

Multiply through by L to get rid of the denominator

0.5L^3 + 72 - 26L = 0

0.5L^3 - 26L + 72 = 0

Multiply through by 2, we have

L^3 - 52L +144 =0

Try L= 4

4*3 -52(4)+ 144 =0

0= 0

(L - 4) is a factor of cubic equation

Therefore Length (L) = 4 inch

Recall that W= L/2

W= 4/2

W= 2 inches

H= 48/L*2

= 48/4*2

= 48/16

= 3 inches

Answer:

The speed of the boat in still water = 8 Km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of the boat be x

According to question

(x-4)15 = (x+4)5

3x-12 = x+4

⇒x = 8 km/hr

Me podrían ayudar y explicarme el proceso please
kakasveta [241]

Answer: Encontrarás las respuestas debajo de cada explicación. Espero que consideres darme brainliest y 5 estrellas, y más importante, que hayas entendido.

Step-by-step explanation:

Esto es la regla de 3. Conoces 3 valores y necesitas encontrar un 4to valor.

Ya sabemos que 1 caja pesa 20kg,

1 - 20kg

ahora queremos saber cuantas cajas (x) equivalen a 7653kg

x - 7653kg

Hacemos un pequeño cuadro poniendo en un lado los numeros de cajas y del otro el peso.

Pongamos la cantidad de cajas en la izquierda y el peso en la derecha

\frac{1}{x} =\frac{20kg}{7653kg}

Procedemos a multiplicar en cruz. Solo podemos multiplicar si tenemos ambos valores. En este caso, los valores en cruz que tenemos son 1 y 7653kg porque en la otra cruz (20 y x) tenemos nuestra incognita. Y, por ultimo, dividimos entre el numero cuya cruz es con la incognita (20kg)

Esto nos deja la expresión así;

x=\frac{1*7653kg}{20kg}

x=382.65

Como una caja no puede ser un numero decimal, redondeamos.

x=383

Por lo tanto, se necesitan aproximadamente 383 cajas para que su peso equivalga a 7653 kg.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

La otra pregunta dice: Si una caja pesa 20kg, (1 - 20kg), ¿Cuántas cajas se necesitan para equivaler 9500kg? (x - 9500kg)

Hacemos lo mismo que arriba, ponemos la cantidad de cajas de un lado, y el peso de otro lado.

\frac{1}{x}=\frac{20kg}{9500kg}

Multiplicamos aquellos valores en cruz que conozcamos y dividimos por el valor cuya cruz sea con x.

x=\frac{1*9500kg}{20kg}

x=475

Esta es la cantidad de cajas que se necesitan para que su pesa equivalga a 9500kg.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Por último, la pregunta dice, ¿Cuántos kilogramos hay en 873 cajas?

Ya sabemos que una caja pesa 20kg ( 1 - 20kg ) y ahora buscamos cuantos kg hay en 873 cajas; es decir, (873 - x)

Nos quedaría así;

\frac{1}{873}=\frac{20kg}{x}

Ahora, nuestra cruz es 873 y 20kg, y el divisor es 1.

x=\frac{873*20kg}{1}

x=17460kg

Este sería el peso de 873 cajas.
