$1.80, because 3/4 is half of 1.5, and $1.80 is one half of $3.60.

The square of a number decreased by 3 times the number 28 find all possible values for the number

stealth61 [152]

Question:

The square of a number decreased by 3 times the number is 28 find all possible values for the number

Answer:

The possible values of number are 7 and -4

Solution:

Given that the square of a number decreased by 3 times the number is 28

To find: all possible values of number

Let "a" be the unknown number

From given information,

square of a number decreased by 3 times the number = 28

$a^2 - 3a = 28$

$a^2 - 3a - 28 = 0$

Let us solve the above quadratic equation

$\text {For a quadratic equation } a x^{2}+b x+c=0, \text { where } a \neq 0$

$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$

Using the above formula,

$\text { For } a^{2}-3 a-28=0 \text { we have } a=1, b=-3, c=-28$

$\begin{aligned}&a=\frac{-(-3) \pm \sqrt{(-3)^{2}-4(1)(-28)}}{2 \times 1}\\\\&a=\frac{3 \pm \sqrt{9+112}}{2}\\\\&a=\frac{3 \pm \sqrt{121}}{2}=\frac{3 \pm 11}{2}\\\\&a=\frac{3+11}{2} \text { or } a=\frac{3-11}{2}\\\\&a=7 \text { or } a=-4\end{aligned}$

Thus the possible values of number are 7 and -4

the surface area of a cuboid is 95cm² and its lateral surface area is 63cm². find the area of its base

wel

Answer:

The Area of the base is 16 cm² .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The surface area of the cuboid = x = 95 cm²

The lateral surface area of the cuboid = y = 63 cm²

Let The Area of the base = z cm²

Now, Let The length of cuboid = l cm

The breadth of cuboid = b cm

The height of cuboid = h cm

According to question

∵ The surface area of the cuboid = 2 ×(length × breadth + breadth × height + height × length)

Or, x = 2 ×(l × b + b × h + h × l)

Or, 95 = 2 ×(l × b + b × h + h × l)

Or, (l × b + b × h + h × l) = $\dfrac{95}{2}$ ....1

Similarly

∵lateral surface area of the cuboid = 2 ×(breadth × height + length × height)

Or, y = 2 ×(b × h + l × h)

Or, 2 ×(b × h + l × h) = 63

Or, (b × h + l × h) = $\dfrac{63}{2}$ ......2

Putting value of eq 2 into eq 1

so, (l × b + $\dfrac{63}{2}$ ) = $\dfrac{95}{2}$

Or, l × b = $\dfrac{95}{2}$ - $\dfrac{63}{2}$

Or, l × b = $\dfrac{95 - 63}{2}$

i.e l × b = $\dfrac{32}{2}$

so, l × b = 16

Now, Again

∵The Area of the base = ( length × breadth ) cm²

So, z = l × b

i.e z = 16 cm²

So, The Area of the base = z = 16 cm²

Hence,The Area of the base is 16 cm² . Answer
