Volume of the box = length  * width * height

length of original peice = x + 10 , width = x

length of box  (x + 10) - 4  = x + 6
width of box = x - 4
height of box =  2

so we have 

2 * (x -4) * ( x + 6) = 832

2x^2 + 4x - 48 = 832

2x^2 + 4x - 880 = 0
x^2  + 2x - 440 = 0

(x + 22)(x - 20) = 0

x = 20

so width of original piece of metal = 20 ins , length = 30 inches.

Diameter = 18 cm
miskamm [114]

Answer:   B. 254.34 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a circle is pi times the radius squared.

Using the diameter we have to find the radius.

The diameter is two times the radius meaning that the radius is half the diameter.

18/ 2 = 9

The radius will be 9 cm

Now using the formula   v= pi * r^2    ,  input the value for pie and the radius and solve for  v  the volume

v = 3.14 * 9^2

v= 3.14 * 81

v = 254.34 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

rectangle area = 7 x 15 = 105 m²

semi circle area = (3.14)(7.5²)/2 = 88.31 m²

total area = 105 m² + 88.31 m² = 193.31 m²
