Answer:

The length is 5 cm and the width is 4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume that is a rectangle

Let

x----> the length of rectangle

y ---> the width of rectangle

we know that

The area of rectangle is

A=xy

A=20 cm²

20=xy -----> equation A

The perimeter of rectangle is

P=2(x+y)

P=18 cm

18=2(x+y)

9=x+y -----> y=9-x ----> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for x

20=x(9-x)

20=9x-x²

x²-9x+20=0

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing

The solution is x=5 cm (I assume that the length is greater than the width)

see the attached figure

Find the value of y

y=9-5=4 cm

therefore

The length is 5 cm

The width is 4 cm

Answer: 60 degrees

Step-by-step explanation: triangles are come to 180 if you add all angles correctly. therefore if you do 180-90-30, you'll get 60.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-1, -2) and is parallel to the line with equation -3x+y=4

Ivanshal [37]

Y = 3x + 1
Parallel lines have the same slope so the slope would be 3. Take the given equation and add the 3x to the other side. Using the given point. -2 (y point) = 3(-1(x point)) + b. Solve for b by adding the 3 over. b = 1 which is your y intercept.

Answer:

The height is 28.57 cm.

The surface area is 9,628 cm^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume the cooler is shaped like a rectangular prism with length and width of the base given, and with an unknown height.

volume = length * width * height

First, we convert the volume from liters to cubic centimeters.

60 liters * 1000 mL/L * 1 cm^3/mL = 60,000 cm^3

Now we substitute every dimension we have in the formula and solve for height, h.

60,000 cm^3 = 60 cm * 35 cm * h

60,000 cm^3 = 2,100 cm^2 * h

h = (60,000 cm^3)/(2,100 cm^2)

h = 28.57 cm

The height is 28.57 cm.

Now we calculate the internal surface area.

total surface area = area of the bases + area of the 4 sides

SA = 2 * 60 cm * 35 cm + (60 cm + 35 cm + 60 cm + 35 cm) * 28.57 cm

SA = 9,628 cm^2

The surface area is 9,628 cm^2.
