the height of a triangle is 4 less than it’s base. The area of the triangle is 30 square inches. Find the length of the base to
Arisa [49]

Answer:

10 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the triangle area is the following:

A = b * h / 2

Where b is the length of the base side and h is the height.

So, as the height is 4 less than the base, we have that:

h = b - 4

Using this value in the area equation, we have that:

A = b * (b - 4) / 2

30 = (b^2 - 4b) / 2

b^2 - 4b = 60

b^2 - 4b - 60 = 0

Using Bhaskara's formula to solve the quadratic equation, we have:

Delta = 4^2 + 4*60 = 256

sqrt(Delta) = 16

b1 = (4 + 16)/2 = 10

b2 = (4 - 16)/2 = -6 (negative value does not fit for this problem)

So the length of the base is 10 inches.

FORMING AND SOLVING EQUATION
skad [1K]
We know, Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l + w)
2(6+x+2) = 2(3+2x+1)
2(8+x) = 2(4+2x)
16+2x = 8+4x
16-8 = 4x - 2x
8 = 2x
x = 4

Unknown lengths, x+2 = 4+2 = 6
2x+1 = 2(4)+1 = 8+1 = 9

2) We know, Area of a rectangle = a * b
2[7(x+1)] = 4(3x+6)
2[7x+7] = 12x+24
14x+14 = 12x+24
14x-12x = 24-14
2x = 10
x = 5

Lengths of unknown sides, x+1 = 5+1 = 6 cm
3x+6 = 3(5)+6 = 15+6 = 21 cm

Hope this helps!

An open box with a square base is to have a volume of 4000in3. Find the length of the side of the square base that would result
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

I did this quickly and don't have the time to check.  Please review carefully.

Length of the side of a square base to provide a volume of 4000 in^3 with the minimum material to construct the entire box. is 6 in.  The dimensions for this box would be (6 in) by (6 in) by 111.1 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a square box is given by

Volume(V) = L*W*H,

where L is length, W is width, and H is height.

Since the base is square, W = L, so we can rewrite the volume equation as:

V = L*W*H

V = L*L*H

Volume = L^2H

The area of the box surface is the sum of all the sides:

Top and Bottom:    2*(L*W), or 2 (W^2)

2 Sides:                  2*(W*H), or 2(W^2)

2 other sides:        2*(L*H)  

The total surface area is

  Area = 2*(L*W) + 2*(W*H) +  2*(L*H)

Since W=L, we can rewrite this equation as:

  Area = 2*(L*L) + 2*(L*H) +  2*(L*H)

<u>Total Surface Area = 2L^2 + 4LH</u>

The target volume is 4000 in^3

We know that Volume = L^2H from above.

4000 in^3 = L^2H

we can rewrite this as:

H = 4000/L^2

Substitute this value of H into <u>Total Surface Area = 2L^2 + 4LH</u>

Total Surface Area = 2L^2 + 4L(4000/L^2)

Total Surface Area = 2L^2 + (1000/L)

We want to minimize total surface are, so we can either plot this function and look for the minimum, or we can take the first derivative and set it equal to zero (the first derivative tells us the slope of the line at any point.  We want the point where the slope is zero, where it changes direction).  I will plot the function.

<u>Plot: </u> See attached graph.

I set the above equation to the format:  y = 2x^2 + (1000/x), where y is the total surface area and x is the box length.

I see a minimum at (6.2,230).  This corresponds to a box length of 6.2 in and a surface area of 230 in^2.
