Given:

The volume of the rectangular prism is 

b^{3}+8 b^{2} +19b+12,

the height is h=(b+3)

1. The volume of a rectangular prism is (base area)*height

also, notice that the volume is a third degree polynomial, the height is a 1st degree polynomial, so the base area must be a 2nd degree polynomial, whose coefficients we don't know yet.
Let this quadratic polynomial be (mb^{2}+nb+k)

 
2

b^{3}+8 b^{2} +19b+12=(mb^{2}+nb+k)*(b+3)


notice that  b^{3} is the product of the largest 2 terms: mb^{2} and b, so m must be 1

also, notice that 12 is the product of the constants, k and 3

so k*3=12, this means k=4

3
we write the above equality again:

b^{3}+8 b^{2} +19b+12=(b^{2}+nb+4)*(b+3)


(b^{2}+nb+4)(b+3)= b^{3}+3 b^{2} +nb^{2}+3nb+4b+12

== b^{3}+(n+3)b^{2}+(3n+4)b+12


4
now compare the coefficient with the left side:

8 b^{2}=(n+3)b^{2}

8=n+3

n=5


substituting n=5: 

the base area is b^{2}+5b+4

Answer: b^{2}+5b+4

Mrac [35]
Usando el teorema de altura 

El teorema de altura relaciona la altura (h) de un triángulo rectángulo (ver figura) y los catetos de dos triángulos que son semejantes al anterior ABC, al trazar la altura (h) sobre la hipotenusa. De manera que e<span>n todo </span>triángulo rectángulo, la altura (h<span>) relativa a la </span>hipotenusa<span> es la </span>media geométrica<span> de las dos proyecciones de los </span>catetos<span> sobre la </span>hipotenusa<span> (</span>n<span> y </span>m<span>). Es decir, se cumple que:

</span>\frac{n}{h}= \frac{h}{m}

Dado que el problema establece <span>construir un segmento cuya longitud sea media proporcional entre dos segmentos de 4 y 9 cm, entonces, digamos que n = 4cm y m = 9cm tenmos que:

</span>\frac{4}{h}= \frac{h}{9}

De donde:

h= \sqrt{(4)(9)}=\sqrt{36}=6cm

¿Cómo se podria construir si los segmentos son de a cm y b cm?

Si los segmentos son de a y b cm entonces a y b son parámetros que pueden tomar cualquier valor positivo siempre que se cumpla que:

h= \sqrt{ab}

The point B is at the centre of the circle. The pints P and Q are in the circumference of the circle. Calculate the area of the
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Area of the sector = 57.26295cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Radius of the circle=9cm

π= 3.142

Angle at B= 81° ( opposite angle of a quadrilateral)

Area of the sector = πr² * 81/360

Area of the sector = 3.142 * 9*9 * 0.225

Area of the sector= 3.142*81*0.225

Area of the sector = 57.26295cm²
