the volume of a sandbox shaped like a rectangular prism is 48 ft3. the height of the sandbox is 2 feet, the width is w feet and

the length is w + 2 feet. use the formula v= lwh to find the value of w

Lwh=v
2*w*(w+2)=48
2w^2+4w=48
w^2+2w-24=0
(w+6)(w-4)=0
w= - 6 or w= 4
Since w cannot be negative, then w=4.

In a right triangle ABC, CD is an altitude, such that AD=BC. Find AC, if AB=3 cm, and CD= root 2 cm.

Nata [24]

Given CD is an altitude such that AD=BC , AB=3 cm and CD= √2 cm.

Let AD=x, Since given AB=3

AD+DB=3

x+DB = 3

DB = 3-x

Since ΔBCD is rght angle triangle, let's apply Pythagoras theorem

$BC^{2} = DB^{2} +CD^{2}$

$BC^{2} = (3-x)^{2} +(\sqrt{2} )^{2}$

$BC^{2} =(3-x)^{2} +2$

Since given AD=BC,let us plugin BC=x in above step.

$x^{2} =(3-x)^{2} +2$

$x^{2} =9-6x+x^{2} +2$

6x=11

x= $\frac{11}{6}$

Now we know AD=x= $\frac{11}{6}$ and given CD=√2.

Let us apply Pythagoras theorem for ΔACD

$AC^{2} =AD^{2} +DC^{2}$

$AC^{2} = (\frac{11}{6} )^{2} +(\sqrt{2} )^{2}$

$AC^{2} =\frac{193}{36}$

$AC=\sqrt{\frac{193}{36} }$ = 2.315cm
