Answer:
X= -12 +6√10
X= 6.973
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of the box= (36-2x)(24-2x)x
Volume of the box
=( 864 -96x -4x²)x
But 864 -96x -4x²
=216 - 24x-x²
Solving for x quadratically
X= (24+12√10)/-2
X= -12 -6√10
X= -30.97
Or
X= (24-12√10)/-2
X= -12 +6√10
X= 6.973
X will definitely be a positive number
So X= -12 +6√10
X= 6.973
Answer:
Option A
Step-by-step explanation:
By applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔABC,
(Hypotenuse)² = (Leg 1)² + (Leg 2)²
AC² = AB² + BC²
AC² = 6² + 5²
AC = 
Similarly, by applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔACD,
AD² = AC² + CD²
(10)² =
+ x²
x² = 100- 61
x² = 39
x = √(39)
Option A will be the answer.
