A box with no top is to be constructed from a piece of cardboard whose length measures 12 inches more than its width. The box is

formed by cutting squares that measure 4 inch on each side from the four corners and then folding up the sides. If the volume of the box 256 in cm^3 what are the dimensions of the piece of cardboard? The Height? The width?

Answer:

Width is 12 inches and height is 4 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the piece of cardboard be = w inches

Then length is = w+12 inches

As given, 4 inch squares are cut from each corner;

So, the width is = w-8 inches

Length is = w+12-8=w+4 inches

When we are folding the cut portion, that gives the height as = 4 inches

The volume is given by : length x width x height

And volume is given as 256 cubic inches

So, 256=(w+4)(w-8)(4)

=> 256=(w^{2}-4w-32)4

=> 64=(w^{2}-4w-32)

=> w^{2} -4w=96

or w^{2} -4w-96=0

=> w^{2} -12w+8w-96=0

=> w(w-12)+8(w-12)=0

We get , (w+8)=0 ; w = -8(neglect the negative value)

(w-12)=0 ; w = 12 inches

And length = 12+12=24 inches

Hence, dimensions are : L = 24 inches ; w = 12 inches and h = 4 inches

We can check by putting these values in equation : 256=(w+4)(w-8)(4)

256=(12+4)(12-8)(4)

=> 256=(16)(4)(4)

=> 256=256

Change 2 21/9 to an improper fraction
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer: 13/3

Step-by-step explanation: TO turn a mixed number into an improper fraction, the best way is to multiply the denominator of the fraction by the whole number, then add the product to the numerator, then use that as the numerator of your new improper fraction, keeping the denominator the same.

>2 21/9

> 9*2 +21 =39

> 39/9

>13/3

1.The height and radius are the same in both cylinders. Which cylinder has the greatest volume?
natulia [17]
Problem One
This is one of those questions that you might think is silly until you try it for yourself or you read about it.

The thing you have to understand, which is not well stated, is that oblique cylinders have circles on the top and bottom. You guys (in the United States) still have pennies, don't you? Take 10 or twelve of them and  make a stack where each penny sticks out 1/16 of an inch from the edge of the penny below it. I can't draw it I don't think (even my stick men look like someone who can't hold a pencil drew them), but maybe I can find a picture or you can. 


Got it. 

So the oblique cylinder has a circle on the top and bottom, just the way the pennies do when you stack them like the cylinder below. Then you can stack them like a soup can. Did anything change? No

The correct answer is (drum roll please) <<<<<<< <em>They are the same volume.


</em>Problem 2
<em />Suppose you have a glass whose sides are straight up and down (a right cylinder with no top). You fill the glass with water. Stop a moment to consider this. Now magically  you place a plain right through the middle of the glass. 

Question: is there any difference between the shape of the plain at the top of the glass than that shape at the middle? (You should answer that they are the same shape -- a circle --  at both the top and middle of the glass).

If you caught on, you would have said that the shapes are the same in your question.
