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 2706 incubed​, what were the original dimensions of the piece of​ metal?

Answer:

length=53 in

width= 23 in

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we know that each corner has now a square of 6 in long, so the heigth of the box will be of this size (as you can see in the picture attached). Then, the length and the width of the box would be the same as the piece, but with 12 in less. Therefore the equations to solve the problem are:

h=6 in\\w=x-12\\l=x+30-12\\l=x+18\\\\V: volume of the box\\V=6*(x-12)*(x+18)\\2706=6x^{2}+36x-1296\\0=6x^{2}+36x-4002\\\\

We factorize the 6 and we get:

0=x^{2}+6x-667\\

Finally we solve for x, and we get the initial dimensions of the piece of metal:

x=23l=30+x=30+23=53 in\\w=x= 23 in

1)

LHS = cot(a/2) - tan(a/2)

= (1 - tan^2(a/2))/tan(a/2)

= (2-sec^2(a/2))/tan(a/2)

= 2cot(a/2) - cosec(a/2)sec(a/2)

= 2(1+cos(a))/sin(a) - 1/(cos(a/2)sin(a/2))

= 2 (1+cos(a))/sin(a) - 2/sin(a)) (product to sums)

= 2[(1+cos(a) -1)/sin(a)]

=2cot a

= RHS

2.

LHS = cot(b/2) + tan(b/2)

= [1 + tan^2(b/2)]/tan(b/2)

= sec^2(b/2)/tan(b/2)

= 1/sin(b/2)cos(b/2)

using product to sums

= 2/sin(b)

= 2cosec(b)

= RHS

Joe paid 14.00 for a board game this is 70% off the original price what is the original price?
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Joe paid 14.00 for a board game this is 70% of the original price what is the original price.

Let the original price of board game be x.

x\times \frac{70}{100}=14

x\times \frac{7}{10}=14

Multiply both sides by 10.

7x=140

Divide both sides by 7.

x=20

The original price is 20. Therefore the correct option is B.
