Answer:

2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the length of the sides of the squares, then the height of the box is also x.  The length and width of the base are 10−2x and 20−2x.  The area of the base is the length times the width.

96 = (10 − 2x) (20 − 2x)

96 = 200 − 20x − 40x + 4x²

0 = 4x² − 60x + 104

0 = x² − 15x + 26

0 = (x − 2) (x − 13)

x = 2 or 13

Since x < 5, x = 2.

So the length of the sides of the squares is 2 cm.

Complete the steps, which describe how to find the area of the shaded portion of the circle. 1. Find the area of the sector by m
Serggg [28]

The area of the sector is found by multiplying the area of the circle and the ratio of the angle subtended (measure of the central angle) by the sector to 360.

<h3>How to find the area of a sector?</h3>

1) The formula for area of a sector of a circle is;

A = (θ/360) * πr²

where πr² is area of circle

θ is the angle subtended by the sector

Thus, we conclude that the area of the sector is found by multiplying the area of the circle and the ratio of the angle subtended (measure of the central angle) by the sector to 360.

2) The area of the triangle formed as part of the segment is subtracted from from the area of the sector.
