Question

Some sand art contains sand and water sealed in a glass case similar to the one shown. when the art is turned upside down. the sand and water fall to create a new picture. the glass case has a depth of 1 centimeter and a volume of 768 cubic centimeters.) A. write an equation that represents the volume of the glass case.) b. Find the dimensions of the glass by completing the square. ) please help me

Answer 1

x²-8x=768

x²-8x-768=0

(x-32)(x+24)=0

x=32 x=-24

you use 32 because it can be negative

plug in for x

(32)(32-8)(1)=768

32×24=768

this isn't the completing the square method though this is zero product law
