Answer:

Length = 8 inches

Width = 4 inches

Height = 6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the box = 192 cubic inches

Volume of a box = length × width × height

Let

Width = x

Length = 2x

Height = x + 2

Volume of a box = length × width × height

192 = 2x * x * (x + 2)

192 = 2x^2 (x + 2)

192 = 2x^3 + 4x^2

Divide through by 2

96 = x^3 + 2x^2

Subtract 96 from both sides

x ^3 + 2x^2 - 96 = 0

Factorise

(x - 4) (x^2 + 6x + 24) = 0

x^2 + 6x + 24 has no real x-value

So,

Divide both sides by (x^2 + 6x + 24).

0 ÷ (x^2 + 6x + 24) = 0

So,

(x - 4) = 0

x = 4

Width = x = 4 inches

Length = 2x

= 2(4)

= 8 inches

Height = x + 2

= 4 + 2

= 6 inches

Check:

Volume of a box = length × width × height

= (8 * 4 * 6) inches

= 192 inches

What is the angle measure of an arc bounding sector with an area of 5pie square miles?
Snowcat [4.5K]

if the diameter is 20, the its radius must be half that or 10.

\textit{area of a sector of a circle}\\\\ A=\cfrac{\theta \pi r^2}{360}~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\ \theta =\stackrel{degrees}{angle}\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ A=5\pi \\ r=10 \end{cases}\implies \begin{array}{llll} 5\pi =\cfrac{\theta \pi (10)^2}{360}\implies 5\pi =\cfrac{5\pi \theta }{18} \\\\\\ \cfrac{5\pi }{5\pi }=\cfrac{\theta }{18}\implies 1=\cfrac{\theta }{18}\implies 18=\theta \end{array}
