Answer:

Therefore the dimension of the cuboid is 8 inches×4 inches ×6 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cuboid : A cuboid is a three dimension shape. The length ,breadth and height of a cuboid are not same.

  • A cuboid has 6 faces.
  • A cuboid contains 8 vertices.
  • A cuboid contains 12 edges .
  • The total surface area of a cuboid is

           = 2(length×breadth+breadth×height+length×height) square units

  • The dimension of a cuboid is written as length×breadth×height.
  • The volume is( length×breadth×height) cubic units

Given that the volume of the box is 192 cubic inches.

Let x inches be the width of the cuboid.

Since the length is twice as long as its width.

Then length = 2x inches

Again height is 2 inches longer than width.

Then height = (x+2) inches.

Therefore the volume of the cuboid is

=[x\times 2x\times (x+2)]   cubic inches

=[2x^2(x+2)]     cubic inches

=(2x^3+4x^2)     cubic inches

According to the problem,

2x^3+4x^2=192

\Rightarrow 2x^3+4x^2-192=0

\Rightarrow 2(x^3+2x^2-96)=0

\Rightarrow (x^3+2x^2-96)=0

\Rightarrow x^3-4x^2+6x^2-24x+24x-96=0

\Rightarrow x^2(x-4) +6x(x-4)+24(x-4)=0

\Rightarrow (x-4)(x^2+6x+24)=0

Therefore x=4

Since the all zeros of x²+6x+24 =0 is negative.

Therefore breadth = 4 inches

 length=(2×4) inches=8 inches

 and height = (4+2)inches = 6 inches.

Therefore the dimension of the cuboid is 8 inches×4 inches ×6 inches.

Fofino [41]

Answer:

42 strawberries are in each basket. 4 strawberries are left over.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many she put into each basket, you need to divide 256/6. Your answer should 42.6666667. Round down to 42.

To find out how many are left over, multiply 42 x 6. You need to do this to figure out how many strawberries total she used trying to put them evenly into the baskets. Your answer should be 252. Then, you subtract 256 - 252. You do this to find out how many are left over. Your answer is 4.
