<h3>
Answer: 80.94 square cm</h3>
==================================================
Work Shown:
Area of parallelogram = base*height
Area of parallelogram = 11.4*7.1
Area of parallelogram = 80.94 square cm
-------------
notes:
- The base and height always form a 90 degree angle (as shown by the small square marker).
- The side length of 8.9 cm is never used.
- We can write "square cm" as "cm^2" or

Answer:
y = 17(2)^x
Step-by-step explanation:
If the graph of y = ab^x goes through (0, 17), then
17 = ab*0, or a = 17
Then the function is y = ab^x with a = 17, or
y = 17*b^x and we must find b.
If the graph of y = 17*b^x also goes through (6, 1088), then the following must be true: 1088 = 17*b^6
which reduces to 64 = b^6
Taking the sixth root of both sides, we get 64^(1/6) = b, and so b = 2
Then the desired exponential function is
y = 17(2)^x
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
To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator (divide the top by the bottom)
