Answer: Height = 20 inches

Width = 14 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The aquarium is rectangular. The formula for determining the volume of a rectangular box is expressed as

Volume = LWH

Where L,W and H represents the length, width and height of the box.

The aquarium holding African cichlids is 6 inches higher than it is wide. It means that

H = W + 6

Its length is 33 inches, and its volume is 9240 cubic inches. It means that

9240 = 33W(W + 6)

9240/33 = W(W + 6)

280 = W² + 6W

W² + 6W + (6/2)² = 280 + (6/2)²

(W + 3)² = 280 + 9 = 289

Taking square root of both sides, it becomes

W + 3 = √289 = 17

W = 17 - 3

W = 14

H = W + 6 = 14 + 6

H = 20

Which of the following circumstances would likely make completing the square th
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

The leading coefficient is 1 and the linear term coefficient is an even number

Step-by-step explanation:

Leading coefficient must be one for the application of completing square method. If the completing square is not one than we must apply other methods like Ac method, quadratic formula to solve the equation. To solve the equation with completing square the numerical value must be on other side of the equation. In this method we multiply linear term’s coefficient with one-half and square it therefore, completing square is suitable method for the equation having leading coefficient is 1 and linear coefficient is even.
