Answer:

21x21 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume =whl

Given: V=486, and h=6, and w=l

So we can it into this equation: 486=6(l^2)

to solve we isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.

which therefore l = 9

Then we add 6(height) +9(l)+6(width)

6+9+6=21 therefore the sides of cardboard are 21 cm × 21 cm

Answer:

21cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

V=B*h

B=(x-12)^2

h=6

(x-12)^2*6=486

Solve using quadratic equation and you get 21 and 3.

3 doesn't work so it is 21

A couple needs $55,000 as a down payment for a home. If they invest the $40,000 they have at 4% compounded quarterly, how long w
slava [35]

Answer:

8 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound interest formula

A(t)= A_0(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}

A(t) is the final amount 55000

A_0= 40000, r= 4% = 0.04, for quarterly n=4

55000=40000(1+\frac{0.04}{4})^{4t}

divide both sides by 40000

1375=(1+\frac{0.04}{4})^{4t}

1375=(1.01)^{4t}

Take ln on both sides

ln(1375)=4tln(1.01)

divide both sides by ln(1.01)

\frac{ln 1375}{ln 1.01}=4t

Divide both sides by 4

t=8.00108

So it takes 8 years

Of the cartons produced by a company, 8% have a puncture, 7% have a smashed corner, and 0.7% have both a puncture and a smashed
Viktor [21]

Answer:

The probability that a randomly selected carton has a puncture or a smashed corner is 0.143

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B).

    since given that P(A) = Probability of getting puncture = 0.08

                                P(B) = probability of getting smashed corner = 0.07

                       P(A∩B) = probability of getting both puncture and smashed corner = 0.007

                    P(A∪B) = probability of getting any of them

   so P(A∪B) = 0.08 + 0.07 -0.007 = O.143

The perimeter of a rectangle is about 13.9 cm. If you double the width of the rectangle the perimeter is about 17.8 cm. Find the
fredd [130]

Answer:

5cm by 1.95cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangle be x

Let the width be y

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2x + 2y

If the initial perimeter of a rectangle is about 13.9 cm, then;

13.9 = 2x + 2y ..... 1

If when the width is double the perimeter is 17.8cm, then;

17.8 = 2x + 4y ..... 2

Subtract 1 from 2;

13.9 - 17.8 = 2y - 4y

- 3.9 = -2y

y = 3.9/2

y = 1.95 cm

Substitute y = 1.95 into 1 to get x;

From 1;

13.9 = 2x + 2y

13.9 = 2x + 2(1.95)

13.9 = 2x + 3.9

2x = 13.9-3.9

2x = 10

x = 5 cm

Hence the dimension of the smaller triangle is 5cm by 1.95cm
