Option C:
Area of the remaining paper = (3x – 4)(3x + 4) square centimeter
Solution:
Area of the square paper = sq. cm
Area of the square corner removed = 16 sq. cm
Let us find the area of the remaining paper.
Area of the remaining paper = Area of the square paper – Area of the corner
Area of the remaining =
=
Using algebraic formula:
Area of the remaining paper = (3x – 4)(3x + 4) square centimeter
Hence (3x – 4)(3x + 4) represents area of the remaining paper in square centimeters.
Answer: The correct option is
(E) 80,000.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that after adding 4,000 gallons of water to a large tank that was already filled to of its capacity, the tank was then at
of its capacity.
We are to find the number of gallons of water that the tank hold when filled to capacity.
Let the tank can hold x gallons of water when filled to capacity.
Then, according to the given information, we have
Thus, the required capacity of the tank is 80,000 gallons of water.
Option (E) is CORRECT.
