The volume of a cuboid is = length × width × height.
Let the width of Olivia's lunch box be 'x'.
Hence the length of Olivia's lunch box shall be 'x + 2'
Also the height of the box is given as 3 inches.
The volume of the box is 240 in³
Substituting in the formula we get
Dividing by 3 on both sides
Exapnding we get
Subtracting 80 from both sides
Factoring
We get
x= -10 or x = 8
But x cannot be negative
So x = 8
Hence the width of the box is 8 inches.
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = x - 6 ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m =
Parallel lines have equal slopes , then
y = x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (9, 2) into the partial equation
2 = 6 + c ⇒ c = 2 - 6 = - 4
y = x - 4 ← equation of parallel line
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
= -
= -
= -
, then
y = - x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (9, 2) into the partial equation
2 = - + c ⇒ c = 2 +
=
y = - x +
← equation of perpendicular line
