A rectangular piece of metal is 30 in longer than it is wide. Squares with sides 6 in long are cut from the four corners and the

flaps are folded upward to form an open box. If the volume of the box is 3354 incubed​, what were the original dimensions of the piece of​ metal?

Answer = 55,25 inches

Solution -

let's take x as length and y as width of the metal piece. As per the question x is 30 more than y,

⇒ x = y + 30

Then four square pieces of side 6 are cut from each corner,

so the new length and width are

x-12 , y-12

Then the volume of the new box created will be

(x-12)(y-12)6

in the question the volume of the given figure is given to be 3354

so (x-12)(y-12)6 = 3354

putting the value of x in the the above equation

⇒ (y+30 - 12)(x-12) = 3354/6 = 559

⇒ (y+18)(y-12) = 559

⇒ y² + 6y - 775 = 0

⇒ y² + 31y - 25y -775 = 0

⇒ (y+31)(y-25) = 0

⇒ y = -31, 25

as length can not be -ve , so y = 25

then x = 25+30 = 55

Hence the dimensions of the metal piece are 55, 25 inches

Simplify ten to the eighth divided by ten to the negative third.
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

10^{11}

Step-by-step explanation:

A statement is given i.e. "ten to the eighth divided by ten to the negative third."

It means that 10 to power 8 divided by 10 to the power -3.

Mathematically,

\dfrac{10^8}{10^{-3}}

We know that, \dfrac{x^a}{x^b}=x^{a-b}

Here, x = 10, a = 8 and b = -3

So,

\dfrac{10^8}{10^{-3}}=10^{8-(-3)}\\\\=10^{8+3}\\\\=10^{11}

So, the answer is 10^{11}

SAT question <br> Can someone explain to me what this is asking
frozen [14]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex is the turning point of the parabola.

First find the zeros by equating y to zero, that is

(x - 6)(x + 12) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6

x + 12 = 0 ⇒ x = - 12

The vertex lies on the axis of symmetry which is situated at the midpoint of the zeros, thus

x_{vertex} = \frac{6-12}{2} = \frac{-6}{2} = - 3

Thus the x- coordinate of the vertex is x = - 3 → B
