Answer:

9\text{ inch, }14\text{ inch, }2\text{ inch}

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: A box with no top is to be constructed from a piece of cardboard whose length measures 5\text{ inch} more than its width. The box is to be formed by cutting squares that measure 2\text{ inch} on each side from the four corners and then folding up the sides.

TO FIND: If the volume of the box will be 100\text{ inch}^3​, what are the dimensions of the piece of​ cardboard.

SOLUTION:

Let the width of cardboard be x

length of cardboard =x+5\text{ inch}

As box is formed by cutting 2\text{ inch } squares from corners of cardboard

length of cardboard =x+5-4=x+1\text{ inch}

width of cardboard  =x-4\text{ inch}

height of cardboard =2\text{ inch}

volume of cardboard =\text{length}\times\text{width}\times\text{height}

                                   =2(x+1)(x-4)

x^2-3x-54=0

solving we get

x=9,-6

width of cardboard =9\text{ inch}

length of cardboard =x+5=14\text{ inch}

height of cardboard =2\text{ inch}

Given cosθ=√3/3 and sinθ<0. What is the value of sinθ?
KATRIN_1 [288]

\sin^{2} \theta+\cos^{2} \theta=1 \\ \\ \sin^{2} \theta+\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} \right)^{2}=1 \\ \\ \sin^{2} \theta+\frac{1}{3}=1 \\ \\ \sin^{2} \theta=\frac{2}{3} \\ \\ \theta=-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}}=\boxed{-\frac{\sqrt{6}}{3}}

minus 2√j both sides
14=√j+10
minus 10 both sides
4=√j
squaer both sides
