A steel company is making flat rectangular frames as a part of a new product they are launching. Each frame will be cut out of a

piece of steel and will have a final area as close to 28 cm2 as possible. The width of the frame needs to be uniform throughout. The inside dimensions of the frame must be 11 cm by 6 cm.

The area of steel before cutting:

Area =(11+2x)*(6+2x)cm²

= 4x^{2}+22x+12x+66

Hence, Area=4x^{2}+34x+66

Area of steel after cutting out the 11*6 inside dimensions.

4x^{2}+34x+66-(11*6)=4x^{2}+34x

As the area should be close to 28 cm square, so equation becomes:

4x^{2}+34x=28 or 4x^{2}+34x-28=0

Now for the answer, kindly see the image attached. It gives x=0.76

Hence, the answer is 0.76 cm.

PQRS is a parallelogram. Find the values of a and b. Solve for the value of c if c = a + b.
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

a = 7

b = 7

c = 14             [Correct option is B. 14]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the shape is a parallelogram, to solve this problem, use some of the properties of a parallelogram:

(i) Opposite sides are parallel and congruent. Being congruent means the sides are identical. In other words, they have the same length.

From the diagram, this means that sides PQ and SR are identical. i.e

=> PQ = SR

=> 6a + 10 = 8a - 4          [collect like terms and solve]

=> 14 = 2a

=> a = 7

(ii) Opposite angles are congruent. Angles PQR and PSR are identical. i.e

<PQR = <PSR = (9b + 2)°

Also,

<SPQ = <SRQ = (18b - 11)°

(iii) Consecutive angles are supplementary. The sum of any two angles that are not opposite to each other is 180°. i.e.

<SPQ + <PQR = 180°

<PQR + <QRS = 180°

<QRS + <RSP = 180°

.

.

.

Also,

<PSR + <SPQ = 180°      

(9b + 2)° + (18b - 11)° = 180°        [expand bracket and solve for b]

9b  + 2 + 18b - 11 = 180

27b - 9 = 180

27b = 189

b = 7

Now, since a = 7 and b = 7;

c = a + b = 7 + 7 = 14

Therefore;

a = 7

b = 7

c = 14

Solve using the quadratic formula 1
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Unless we set x^2 + 8x + 15 equal to zero, we don't have an equation to be solved.  I will assume that the problem is actually x^2 + 8x + 15 = 0.

The coefficients of this quadratic are {1, 8, 15}, and so the "discriminant" b^2 - 4ac is (8)^2 - 4(1)(15), or 4.  Because the discriminant is positive, we know that there are two real, unequal roots.

Continuing with the quadratic formula and knowing that the discriminant is 4, we get:

      -8 ± √4           -8 ± 2

x = ---------------- = --------------- , or x = -2 ± 1:  x = -3 and x = -5

          2                       2

The cost of stainless steel tubing varies jointly as the length and the diameter of the tubing. If a 5ft length with diameter 2
elena55 [62]

Answer:

The cost for 17 ft length with diameter 5 in is $408.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that the cost of stainless steel tubing varies jointly as the length and the diameter of the tubing. If a 5 foot length with a diameter 2 inches costs $48.00.

let C\propto L\cdot D

C=k\cdot L\cdot D

48=k\cdot 5\cdot 2

\frac{48}{10}=k

k=4.8

For 17 ft length with diameter 5in the cost will be:

C=k\cdot L\cdot D

Substitute the respective values in the above formula.

C=4.8\cdot 17\cdot 5

C=408

Cost = $408

Hence, the cost for 17 ft length with diameter 5in is $408.
