Your surface area is: S=x^2+4xh=84 square inches and h=2 inches; so you get:
x^2+(4×2)x=84
x^2+8x-84=0 qhich is a quadratic equation. Using the quadratic formula you get two results for x:
x1=-14 and x2=6
choose the second (positive)

The full question is attached in the picture below.

The better price for the battery is given with the 6 pack.

(£ 0.47 per battery)

Write in detail how you have used math in the real-world to solve a problem.
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

I went shopping once for ingredients of a cake, but i didn't know what my finale price would be. So i estimated what the total cost could be, then i took all the prices and added them up then divided the price by how many ingredients i got to find the average and it was pretty close to my estimate. So math can help when you go shopping. (Sorry if how i find my prices is weird, i kinda just stand in one spot for at least 5 - 8 mins trying to find my price)
