7/8 yrds of ribbon per bow
if you need 4 bows
7/8 x 4 = 28/8 = 3 1/2 yards of ribbon needed

A square piece of paper has an area of x2 square units. A

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Length of rectangular strip = 12

area of rectangular strip = 2*12 = 24

Area of square = x^2 = 12^2 = 144

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of square x^2

area of rectangle is given by length * width

Length of rectangular strip = x

width of rectangular strip = 2

area of rectangular strip = length * width = 2*x = 2x

Area of square piece of paper when rectangular strip is taken away from it

= Area of square - area of rectangular strip

= $x^2 -2x$

It is given that Area of square piece of paper when rectangular strip is taken away from it is 120 square units.

Thus,

$x^2 -2x = 120\\=> x^2 -2x -120 = 0\\=> x^2 -12x +10x-120\\=> x(x-12) +10(x-12)\\=> (x+10)(x-12) = 0\\\\$

Thus,

either x+10 = 0 or x -12= 0

x = -10 or x = 12

but length cannot be negative hence neglecting x = -10

hence value of x is 12.

Hence,

Length of rectangular strip = 12

area of rectangular strip = 2*12 = 24

Area of square = x^2 = 12^2 = 144

An open box is to be made out of a 12-inch by 20-inch piece of cardboard by cutting out squares of equal size from the four corn

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

Length = 15.14, width = 7.14 and height = 2.43 inches.

( correct to the nearest hundredth).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the lengths of the squares cut out be x inches.

Then the width of the box will be 12 - 2x and the length will be

20 - 2x inches.

The height of the box is x inches.

Volume V = x(20-2x)(12-2x)

To find the value of x when V is a maximum we find the derivative and equate it to zero.

V = x( 240 - 64x + 4x^2)

V = 4x^3 - 64x^2 + 240x

dV/dx = 12x^2 - 128x + 240 = 0

4(3x^2 - 32x + 60) = 0

This won't factor so we use the formula:

x = [-(-32) +/- √((-32)^2 - 4*3*60)] / 6

= 8.24, 2.43.

So one of these gives a maximum Volume.

The second derivative

d^2V/dx^2 = 24x - 128

When x = 8.24, this = 69.6 (positive) so this gives a minimum.

x = 2.43 gives a negative value ( -49.7) so this is the maximum

So the dimensions are:-

length = 20 - 2(2.43) = 15.14

width = 12 - 2(2.43) = 7.14

height = 2.43.
