Note: Consider x be the breadth of the box.
Given:
The surface area of the box is 204.25 square feet.
Length of the box = 10 ft
Breadth of the box = x ft
Height of the box = 6.5 ft
To find:
The value of x.
Solution:
The surface area of a cuboid is:

Where, l is length, b is breadth and h is height of the cuboid.
Putting
in the above formula, we get



Using distributive property, we get




Divide both sides by 33.


Therefore, the correct option is B.
Answer: x = 9
Step-by-Step Solution:
Hypotenuse = 15 units
Base = 12 units
Altitude = x units
Using Pythagoras Theorem,
=> Hypotenuse^2 = Base^2 + Altitude^2
(15)^2 = (12)^2 + x^2
225 = 144 + x^2
225 - 144 = x^2
81 = x^2
x^2 = 81
x = √81
=> x = 9
Therefore, Altitude = 9 units
The answer is 100 degrees Celsius.
This is the distributive property. You take what is outside of the parenthesis and DISTRIBUTE it inside the parenthesis.
