Answer: length = 7 feet's

Width = 6 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle is the distance round the rectangle.

Perimeter of rectangle is expressed as

2(length + width)

The perimeter of the given rectangle is 26 feet. Therefore

2(L + W) = 26

Dividing by 2,

L+W = 13

The area of a rectangle is expressed as length × width

The given area is 42 square feet. Therefore,

L×W = 42

Substituting L = 13 - W into LW = 42, it becomes

W(13-W) = 42

13W - W^2 = 42

W^2 -13W + 42 = 0

W^2 -7W - 6W + 42 = 0

W(W - 7) - 6(W - 7) = 0

(W-6)(w-7)=0

W-6 = 0 or W-7=0

W=6 or W = 7

L= 13-6 or L= 13-7

L= 7 or L = 6

A rectangular box has length x and width 3. The volume of the box is given by y = 3x(8 – x). The greatest x-intercept of the gra
CaHeK987 [17]

Consider rectangular box with

  • length x units (x≥0);
  • width 3 units;
  • height (8-x) units (8-x≥0, then x≤8).

The volume of the rectangular box can be calculated as

V_{box}=\text{length}\cdot \text{width}\cdot \text{height}.

In your case,  

V_{box}=3\cdot x\cdot (8-x).

Note that maximal possible value of the height can be 8 units (when x=0 - minimal possible length) and the minimal possible height can be 0 units (when x=8 - maximal possible length).

From the attached graph you can see that the greatest x-intercept is x=8, then the height will be minimal and lenght will be maximal.

Then the volume will be V=0 (minimal).

Answer: correct choices are B (the maximum possible length), C (the minimum possible height)
