Answer: the length is 11 cm.
The width is 7 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let L represent the length of the rectangular plastic box.
Let W represent the width of the rectangular plastic box.
The area of the rectangular top of the box is 77 square cm. This means that
LW = 77- - - - - - - ;- - - -1
The plastic box has a length 4 cm longer than its width. This means that
L = W + 4
Substituting L = W + 4 into equation 1, it becomes
(W + 4)W = 77
W² + 4W = 77
W² + 4W - 77 = 0
W² + 11W - 7W - 77 = 0
W(W + 11) - 7(W + 11) = 0
W - 7 = 0 or W + 11 = 0
W = 7 or W = - 11
Since the width cannot be negative, then W = 7cm
L = 77/7 = 11 cm
Answer:
or 
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to complete the square before you can take the square root of both sides.
Subtract 10 from both sides.
To complete the square, you need to add the square of half of the x-term coefficient to both sides.
The x-term coefficient is 7. Half of that is 7/2. Square it to get 49/4. Now we add 49/4 to both sides of the equation.
Now we use the square root property, if
, then
or 
or 
or
F(x)=5/x
g(x)=2(x^2)+5x
f(x) has a domain of all real numbers excluding zero
g(x) has a domain of all real numbers
fog(x)=5/(2(x^2)+5x)
fog(x)=5/(x(2x+5))
fog(x) has a domain that excludes both zero and -5/2
If the original side length is "s" and the original slant height is "h", the original surface area is
.. S = (base area) +(lateral area)
.. S = s² +(1/2)*(4s)*h
.. S = s(s +2h)
Now, if we make these replacements: s ⇒ 3s, h ⇒ h/5, we have
.. S' = (3s)(3s +2h/5)
.. S' = 9s² +(6/5)s*h . . . . . . . the formula for the modified area (in terms of original dimensions)
_____
Of course, in terms of the modified dimensions, the formula is the same:
.. S' = s'(s' +2h')
The expression which can be used to solve this problem is 5.50h + 1.5h.
Since the given data is 44.5 hour week, all we need to do is substitute the given data to the expression. Since it takes 56 hours a week for a complete office/working hour without overtime, Joel's 44.5 hour week means he did not have overtime hours. Therefore the solution is,
5.50(44.5) = 244.75 Dollars.
