Answer:

Dimensions are 8 Inches by 14 inches by 20 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the box is 2240. This means:

lbh = 2240

Where b is the width.

Width is two inches less than twice the height

b = 2h - 2

length is 4 inches less than 3 times the height

l = 3h - 4

Substituting these parameters into the lbh equation will yield the following:

h * (3h - 4) * (2h - 2) = 2240

h[6h^2-14h+8] = 2240

6h^3 -14h^2 + 8h - 2240= 0

Solving this cubic equation will yield one of the values to be 8. The other two values are complex numbers.

b = 2h - 2

l = 3h - 4

b = 2(8) - 2 = 14

l = 3(8) - 4 = 20

See explanations below

Step-by-step explanation:

Chanel

(i) 90° counterclockwise and then dilation by a factor of 1/2

Trapezoid PQRS is given as :

P(6,-4) -------P'(4,6)

Q(2,-2)------Q'(2,2)

R(2,-6)-------R'(6,2)

S(6,-6)-------S'(6,6)

The transformation switches the position of (x,y) to and adds a -ve sign to the original y value

B. The new coordinates are : P'(4,6), Q'(2,2),R'(6,2) and S'(6,6)

The  rule for rotation 90° counterclockwise about the origin is (x,y)⇒(-y,x)

The rule for dilation with scale factor of 1/2 is (x,y)------(1/2x,1/2y)

P'(4,6) -----P''(2,3)

Q'(2,2)-----Q''(1,1)

R'(6,2)-----R''(3,1)

S'( 6,6)-----S''(3,3)

The dilation reduces the coordinates by 1/2

Preston

E. (i)Reflection over x-axis where the rule is : (x,y)----(x,-y)

(ii)Dilation by scale factor of 1/2 the rule is : (x,y)---(1/2x, 1/2y)

Applying reflection over x-axis rule;

P(6,-4) -----P'(6,4)

Q(2,-2)-----Q'(2,2)

R(2,-6)------R'(2,6)

S(6,-6)------S'(6,6)

The coordinates have changed in that a negative sign is added to the y-axis coordinate.

F. P'(6,4), Q'(2,2), R'(2,6) and S'(6,6)

G. Applying the dilation by scale factor of 1/2

P'(6,4)-------P''(3,2)

Q'(2,2)------Q''(1,1)

R'(2,6)------R''(1,3)

S'(6,6)------S''(3,3)

The coordinates of P'Q'R'S are divide by 2 to give coordinates of P''Q''R''S''

Comparing the answers to the final figure given

K(3,2)

L(1,1)

M(1,3)

N(3,3)

Preston is correct because his sequence proves trapezoid PQRS is similar to trapezoid KLMN.

morpeh [17]

Answer:

x = 2\sqrt{55} or 14.8

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the missing leg of the right triangle.

8²-3²=x²

x = \sqrt{55}

then double is to get x in the drawing

x = 2\sqrt{55} or 14.8
