Answer:

w=12

l=20

Step-by-step explanation:

The area can be found using the following equation:

A=lw

Given the information provided, we are also told the following:

l=w+8

Therefore, we can plug in our length and our area:

240=w(w+8)\\240=w^2+8w\\\\w^2+8w-240=0

We can solve by using the quadratic formula.

w=\frac{-8+\sqrt{8^2-4(1)(-240)} }{2(1)}=12 \\\\

w=12, so w+8=20.

Answer the following questions about the sphere whose equation is given by x2+y2+z2−8x+4y=−4. 1. Find the radius of the sphere.
Anna [14]

Answer:

we have (a,b,c)=(4,-2,0) and R=4 (radius)

Step-by-step explanation:

since

x²+y²+z²−8x+4y=−4

we have to complete the squares to finish with a equation of the form

(x-a)²+(y-b)²+(z-c)²=R²

that is the equation of a sphere of radius R and centre in (a,b,c)

thus

x²+y²+z²−8x+4y=−4

x²+y²+z²−8x+4y +4 = 0

x²+y²+z²−8x+4y +4 +16-16 =0

(x²−8x + 16) + (y² + 4y + 4 ) + (z²) -16 = 0

(x-4)² + (y+2)² + z² = 16

(x-4)² + (y-(-2))² + (z-0)² = 4²

thus we have a=4 , b= -2 , c= 0 and R=4
