Given:
Area = 21 in²
length = 6 in.
width = ?

The area of a rectangle is computed by multiplying its length by its width.

A = l * w
21 in² = 6 in * w

To find width, divide the area by its length.

21in²/6in = w
3.5 in. = w.

The width is 3.5 inches.

to check:

Area = Length * Width
21 in² = 6 in x 3.5 in
21 in² = 21 in²

We are given:

Area = 21 inches²
Length = 6 inches
Width = x inches

We can use this formula to solve for the width:

Area = Length × Width
21 inches² = 6 inches · x inches
21 inches² = 6x inches²
21 = 6x

Now, divide both sides by 6.

21/6 = 6x/6

21/6 = x

x=\frac{21}{6}=\frac{7\times3}{2\times3} = \frac{7}{2} =\boxed{\bf{ 3.5}}

The width is 3.5 inches.

Given the inequality below:<br><br> 3x-y&gt;4<br><br> Which is the graph of the solution set?
OLga [1]

Answer:

A shaded region below a dashed line (y <3x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

For linear inequalities, we have shaded regions below or above a dashed or solid or continuous line represented by an inequality.

Their graphs are called region graphs. Those regions are only enclosed ones if before the sign of inequality it is included both variables. Like x²+y²<1, |x+y|<1, etc.

In this case what we have here is an open region, as the graph below shows.

3x-y>4 =-y>4-3x∴y<3x-4

Setting a value for x

3x-4=0

3x=4

3x/3=4/3

x=4/3 (slope)

(4/3,0)

The Mendes family bought a new house 8 years ago $129,000. The new house is now worth $186,000. Assuming a steady rate of growth
USPshnik [31]
So assuming simplet interest

find the change to find the interest
change=186000-129000=57000

simple interest=time times rate times principal
time is in years (8)
rate is in decimal
principal is amount invested (129000)

so
interest is 57000
57000=(8)(r)(129000)
57000=1032000r
divide both sides by 1032000
0.05523255813953488372093023255814=r

A box is to be constructed from a sheet of cardboard that is 10 cm by 60 cm by cutting out squares of length x by x from each co
Stells [14]

Volume of a rectangular box = length x width x height<span>

From the problem statement,
length = 60 - 2x
width = 10 - 2x
height = x</span>

<span>
where x is the height of the box or the side of the equal squares from each corner and turning up the sides

V = (60-2x) (10-2x) (x)
V = (60 - 2x) (10x - 2x^2)
V = 600x - 120x^2 -20x^2 + 4x^3
V = 4x^3 - 100x^2 + 600x

To maximize the volume, we differentiate the expression of the volume and equate it to zero.

V = </span>4x^3 - 100x^2 + 600x<span>
dV/dx = 12x^2 - 200x + 600
12x^2 - 200x + 600 = 0</span>

<span>x^2 - 50/3x + 50 = 0

Solving for x,
x1 = 12.74 ;      Volume = -315.56  (cannot be negative)
x2 = 3.92 ;      Volume = 1056.31

So, the answer would be that the maximum volume would be 1056.31 cm^3.
