Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Let length of rectangular piece of cardboard=x

Width of rectangular piece of cardboard=y

Area of rectangular piece of cardboard=374 cm^2

Area of rectangular piece of cardboard=l\times b=x\times y

xy=374

y=\frac{374}{x}

According to question

Length of box=x-2(2)=x-4

Width of box=y-2(2)=y-4

Height of box=2

Volume of box=l\times b\times h

Substitute the values in this formula

Volume of box=2(x-4)(y-4)

Substitute the value of y

2(x-4)(\frac{374}{x}-4)=468

\frac{(x-4)(374-4x)}{x}=\frac{468}{2}=234

(x-4)(374-4x)=234x

374x-4x^2-1496+16x=234x

4x^2-374x-16x+234x+1496=0

4x^2-156x+1496=0

On dividing by 4 on both sides , then we get

x^2-39x+374=0

x^2-17x-22x+374=0

x(x-17)-22(x-17)=0

(x-17)(x-22)=0

x-17=0

x=17 or x-22=0\implies x=22

Substitute x=17

Then, we get y=\frac{374}{17}=22

Substitute x=22

Then, we get

y=\frac{374}{22}=17

The size of cardboard should  start with  17 by 22.

If x/y + y/x = -1 , ( x unequal y, y unequal 0) then the value of x^2 - y^2 is?
Maurinko [17]

Take your original equation \frac{x}{y} +\frac{y}{x} =-1

and multiply both sides by xy to remove the fractions. You are left with

x^2+y^2=-xy

So, x^2+y^2=-xy

Update: There is no numerical answer that can be found without being given a value for either x or y
