Let x be the width of the cardboard (which means the length of the cardboard is x+88), then the dimensions of the box are:

Length = [(x + 88) - 2(33)]

Width = x - 2(33)

Heighth = 33

Volume = length · width · heighth

144,144 = [(x + 88) - 2(33)] · [x - 2(33)] · 33

144,144 = (x+22)(x-66)(33)

4368 = (x+22)(x-66)

4368 = x² - 44x - 1452

0 = x² - 44x - 5820

use the quadratic formula to calculate that x = 101

Answer: cardboard width = 101, cardboard length = 189

The equation is
area =  \frac{1}{2} (a + b)h
If you put in the numbers you get
area =  \frac{1}{2} (48 + 40) \times 24
This comes to 1056. So the answer is 1056 in^2

Kay is running a 13.5 km race. If she runs at a rate of 8 2/5 km/he for 1.5 hours, how many kilometers will she have left to run
Monica [59]

The number of kilometers she will have left to run to finish the race is 0.9 km.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Total distance = 13.5 km
  • Speed = 8\frac{2}{5} \;km/hr
  • Time = 1.5 hours

To determine the number of kilometers she will have left to run to finish the race:

First of all, we would calculate the distance she has covered by using this formula;

Distance = speed \times time\\\\Distance = 8\frac{2}{5} \times 1.5\\\\Distance = \frac{42}{5} \times \frac{3}{2} \\\\Distance = \frac{63}{5}

Distance = 12.6 meters.

<u>For the </u><u>distance left</u><u>:</u>

Distance\;left = Total\;distance - Distance\;covered\\\\Distance\;left =13.5 -12.6

Distance left = 0.9 km.
