Answer:

Side b=7 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Perimeter of triangle=29m

Side a=2b-3

Side b=b

Side c=4+b

To find:

Side b

Solution:

P of triangle=a+b+c

29=2b-3+b+4+b

29=2b+b+b+4-3

29=4b+1

29-1=4b

b=28/4

b=7m

I hope my answer is right.

Answer:

D) 7 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

So I would start this off by plugging in the variables into side B. So if we were to plug 7 into B there would be 22 meters left of the perimeter. Therefore meaning 22 between A and C. Now A is 3 meters shorter than TWICE of B. So 7 times 2 is 14 and 14 minus 3 is 11. now we have 11 and 7 which equals 18. 29 minus 18 giving us 11 left. 11 is C. Now it says c is 4 meters longer than B so it 7 plus 4 is 11. And everything adds up. HOPE THIS HELPS.

Packaging By cutting away identical squares from each corner of a rectangular piece of cardboard and folding up the resulting fl
Vikki [24]

Answer:

Height: 3/2 inches

Length:  12 inches

Width: 4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x is the side length of the square

The height of the box by cutting squares off :x

  • The new length of the cardboard = 15 -2x (because we cut from 4 corners)
  • The new width of the cardboard = 7 -2x (because we cut from 4 corners)

The new volume of it is:

V = (15 -2x) (7 -2x) x

<=> V = 4x^3 -44x^2 +105x

To maximum volume, we use the first derivative of the volume

\dfrac{dV}{dx} = 0

<=> 12x^2-88x+105=0

<=> \left(2x-3\right)\left(6x-35\right) = 0

<=> 2x -3 = 0 or 6x -35 = 0

<=> x = 3/2 or x = 35/6

To determine which value of x gives a maximum, we evaluate

\dfrac{d^2V}{dx^2} = 24x -88

  • If  x = 3/2, we have:

\dfrac{d^2V}{dx^2}= 24(3/2) -88  = -52

  • If x = 35/6, we have:

\dfrac{d^2V}{dx^2} = 24(35/6) -88 = 52

We choose x = 3/2 to have the maximum volume because the value of x that gives a negative value is maximum.

So the dimensions (in inches) of the box is:

Height: 3/2 inches

Length: 15-2(3/2) = 12 inches

Width: 7 - 2(3/2) = 4 inches
