The dimensions of the box formed will be:
width: 20 - 2x 
length: 40 - 2x
height: x

Volume = width x length x height
1500 = x(20 - 2x)(40 - 2x)
1500 = x(800 + 4x² - 120x)
1500 = 4x³ - 120x² + 800x
0 = 4x³ - 120x² + 800x - 1500
0 = x³ - 30x² + 200x - 375
Solving the cubic equation:
x = 5 (only integer root)

Length = 30 cm
Width = 10 cm
Height = 5 cm

ahrayia [7]
Answer:

d = √13

Step-by-step explanation:

d = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²)

points: (-3, 8) & (-1, 5)

d = √((-1 - -3)²+(5 - 8)²)

d = √(2)²+(-3)²

d =√(4 + 9)

d = √13

HUDSON HAS TO FILL A POT WITH 1 QUART OF WATER. ALL HE HAS IS 1/4 CUP MEASURING CUP. HOW MANY TIMES DOES HE HAVE TO FILL THE 1/4
Marta_Voda [28]
There are 4 cups in a quart.

So if Hudson has only a 1/4 measuring cup, this can be represented by the equation:

4/1/4, solving it we get: 4* 4 (dividing turns a fraction into its reciprocal)

So, 4*4=16

Hudson will have to fill the 1/4 measuring cup 16 times to get a quart.

I hope this helps!
