Answer:

Width of the Rectangular Tin=8 inch

Length of the Rectangular Tin= 16 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Width of the Rectangle=W

The length of the piece of tin is twice the width, Length = 2W

Since Squares of 3 inch are cut from all four corners of the rectangle

Length of the box = 2W-(3+3)=(2W-6) inches

Breadth of the Box = W-(3+3)=(W-6) inches

Height = 3 inches

Volume of the box = 60 cubic inches

Now, Volume of a cuboid=lbh

3(2W-6)(W-6)=60

Divide both sides by 3

(2W-6)(W-6)=20

Expanding the brackets

(2W-6)(W-6)=20\\2W^2-12W-6W+36=20\\2W^2-18W+36-20=0\\2W^2-18W+16=0

Factorizing

2W^2-16W-2W+16=0\\2W(W-8)-2(W-8)=0\\(W-8)(2W-2)=0\\W-8=0 ,  2W-2=0\\W=8,  1

Since the Width cannot be less than 6,

Width of the Rectangular Tin=8 inch

Length= 2 X 8 = 16 inch

Suppose a triangle has sides a, b, and c, and let theta be opposite the side of length a. If cos theta < 0, what must be true
katrin2010 [14]
If \cos \theta\ \textless \ 0, then angle \theta is obtuse and triangle with sides a, b, c is obtuse triangle.
In an arbitrary triangle can be only one obtuse angle, and the side which lies opposite to the largest angle is the largest. Then since <span>angle \theta is opposite the side of length a</span>  you can conclude that a>c and a>b.
