Answer: the length is 11 cm.

The width is 7 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the rectangular plastic box.

Let W represent the width of the rectangular plastic box.

The area of the rectangular top of the box is 77 square cm. This means that

LW = 77- - - - - - - ;- - - -1

The plastic box has a length 4 cm longer than its width. This means that

L = W + 4

Substituting L = W + 4 into equation 1, it becomes

(W + 4)W = 77

W² + 4W = 77

W² + 4W - 77 = 0

W² + 11W - 7W - 77 = 0

W(W + 11) - 7(W + 11) = 0

W - 7 = 0 or W + 11 = 0

W = 7 or W = - 11

Since the width cannot be negative, then W = 7cm

L = 77/7 = 11 cm

A number, x, rounded to 1 decimal place is 3.7<br>Write down the error interval for x.​
alekssr [168]

Answer:

3.65 \leqslant x \leqslant 3.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The error in rounding a number is half of the unit of measure.

The number was rounded to the nearest 0.1 unit so the error is 1/2×0.1, which equals 0.05.

Now we add 3.7 and 0.05, which equals 3.75 and we also take 3.7 - 0.05, which equals 3.65

So, the error interval is:

3.65 \leqslant x \leqslant 3.75

PLS HELP! 7x +10y= -23<br><br> 7x + 6y = - 39
mote1985 [20]
4y = -23 + 39
4y = 16
y = 4

Sub y = 4 into equation 2
7x + 6(4) = -39
7x + 24 = -39
7x = -39-24
7x = -63
x = -9

x = -9
y = 4

denpristay [2]

Answer:

V = 314.2 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is given by

V = pi r^2 h    r is the radius (5) and h is the height (4)

Using the pi button for pi

V = pi (5^2) (4)

V =314.1592654

Rounding to the nearest tenth

V = 314.2 ft^3
