8/5 = 20/x
8x = 20(5)
8x = 100
x = 12.5

answer
<span>length of its shorter side = 12.5 ft</span>

Length is 20

ratio is 8:5

20:?=8:5
20/?=8/5
times both sides by 5?
100=8?
divide both sides by 8
25/2=?
12.5=?

the shorter side is 12.5ft

Sladkaya [172]
Volume of the box= <span>56 cubic inches
let x is the length, then
width =</span><span>2 inches shorter than its length = x - 2
</span>height =  <span>3 inches taller than its length = x+3
Volume = length x width x height
56 = x x (x-2) x (x+3)
56 = (x</span>² -2x)(x+3)
56 = x³ +3x² -2x² - 6x
56 = x³ + x² -6x
x³+x²-6x-56 = 0
using the rational root theorem and factoring the polynomial;
(x-4)(x² +5x +14) = 0
from here;
x-4 = 0
x = 4
So, length = 4 inches
width = x - 2 = 4 -2 = 2 inches
length = x + 3 = 4 + 3 = 7 inches
volume = l x w x h = 4 x 2 x 7 = 56

Answer:

x=30, <A=60, <C=30

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle always has its total angles added up to 180 degrees, so we can set up the following equation:

90+2x+x=180

90+3x=180

3x=90

x=30

Since x=30, this means <C is 30 degrees. For <A, it's twice as much as <C, so 2*30=60.

So x=30, <A=60, <C=30

Hope this helped!
