A rectangular cardboard sheet has a length that is 1.5 times greater than the width. Is it possible to make a topless box with a

volume of 6080 cm3 out of this cardboard sheet if squares with a side of 8 cm are cut from the corners? Find the dimensions of the cardboard sheet.

Answer:

Yes, it is possible  to make a topless box with a volume of 6080 cm3 out of this cardboard sheet.

The dimensions of the cardboard sheet are 54 cm x 36 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the length of the cardboard sheet

y ----> the width of the cardboard sheet

we know that

x=1.5y ----> equation A

The volume of the topless box is

V=LWH

where

V=6,080\ cm^3

L=x-2(8)=(x-16)\ cm

W=y-2(8)=(y-16)\ cm

H=8\ cm

substitute

6,080=(x-16)(y-16)8 ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

6,080=(1.5y-16)(y-16)8

6,080/8=(1.5y-16)(y-16)

760=1.5y^2-24y-16y+256

760=1.5y^2-40y+256

1.5y^2-40y+256-760=0

1.5y^2-40y-504=0

Solve for y

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing

The solution is y=36 cm

see the attached figure

Find the value of x

x=1.5y ----> x=1.5(36)=54\ cm

therefore

Yes, it is possible  to make a topless box with a volume of 6080 cm3 out of this cardboard sheet.

The dimensions of the cardboard sheet are 54 cm x 36 cm

Answer:

<h2>54 cm length and 36 cm width.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call x the width of the cardboard sheet, 1.5x is the length of it (the problem states that the length is 1.5 times the width).

Also, y=8cm which is the removed part of the box.

Remember that the volume of a rectangular prism is the product between each dimension. In this case, we have

V=(1.5x-2y)(x-2y)(y)=6080

Where we already included the removed part of the box.

Replacing values, we have

(1.5x-2(8))(x-2(8))(8)=6080\\(1.5x-16)(8x-128)=6080\\12x^{2} -192x-128x+2048=6080\\12x^{2}-320x+2048-6080=0\\12x^{2}-320x-4032=0

Using a calculator, we have

x_{1}=36\\x_{2} \approx -9.33

Where only the positive number make sense to the problem, because there's no negative lengths.

So, the length is 1.5x=1.5(36)=54

Therefore, the dimensions are 54 cm length and 36 cm width.

. For each of these intervals, list all its elements or explain why it is empty. a) [a, a] b) [a, a) c) (a, a] d) (a, a) e) (a,
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Elements are of the form

 (i) [a,a]=\{[x,y] : a\leq x\leq a, a\leq y\leq a; a\in \mathbb R\}

(ii) [a,b)=\{[x,y) :a\leq x

(iii)(a,a]=\{(x,y] :a

(iv)(a,a)=\{(x,y): a

(v) (a,b) where a>b=\{(x,y) : a>x>b,a>y>b;a>b,a,b \in \mathbb R\}

(vi) [a,b] where a>b=\{[x,y] : a\geq x\geq b,a\geq y\geq b;a>b,a,b \in \mathbb R\}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given intervals are,

(i) [a,a] (ii) [a,a) (iii) (a,a] (iv) (a,a) (v) (a,b) where a>b (vi)  [a,b] where a>b.

To show all its elements,

(i) [a,a]

Imply the set including aa from left as well as right side.

Its elements are of the form.

\{[a,a] : a\in \mathbb R\}=\{[0,0],[1, 1],[-1,-1],[2,2],[-2,-2],[3,3],[-3,-3],........\}

Since there is a singleton element a of real numbers, this set is empty.

Because there is no increment so if a\in \mathbb R then the set  [a,a] represents singleton sets, and singleton sets are empty so is [a,a].

(ii) [a,a)

This means given interval containing a by left and exclude a by right.

Its elements are of the form.

[ 1, 1),[-1,-1),[2,2),[-2,-2),[3,3),[-3,-3),........

Since there is a singleton element a of real numbers withis the set, this set is empty.

Because there is no increment so if a\in \mathbb R then the set  [a,a) represents singleton sets, and singleton sets are empty so is [a.a).

(iii) (a,a]

It means the interval not taking a by left and include a by right.

Its elements are of the form.

( 1, 1],(-1,-1],(2,2],(-2,-2],(3,3],(-3,-3],........

Since there is a singleton element a of real numbers, this set is empty.

Because there is no increment so if a\in \mathbb R then the set  (a,a] represents singleton sets, and singleton sets are empty so is (a,a].

(iv) (a,a)

Means given set excluding a by left as well as right.

Since there is a singleton element a of real numbers, this set is empty.

Its elements are of the form.

( 1, 1),(-1,-1],(2,2],(-2,-2],(3,3],(-3,-3],........

Because there is no increment so if a\in \mathbb R then the set  (a,a) represents singleton sets, and singleton sets are empty, so is (a,a).

(v) (a,b) where a>b.

Which indicate the interval containing a, b such that increment of x is always greater than increment of y which not take x and y by any side of the interval.

That is the graph is bounded by value of a and it contains elements like it we fixed a=5 then,

(a,b)=\{(5,0),(5,1),(5,2).....\} e.t.c

So this set is connected and we know singletons are connected in \mathbb R. Hence given set is empty.

(vi) [a,b] where a\leq b.

Which indicate the interval containing a, b such that increment of x is always greater than increment of y which include both x and y.

That is the graph is bounded by value of a and it contains elements like it we fixed a=5 then,

[a,b]=\{[5,0],[5,1],[5,2].....\} e.t.c

So this set is connected and we know singletons are connected in \mathbb R. Hence given set is empty.

A) 197 degree<br> B) 261 degree<br> C) 211 degree<br> D) 236 degree
Alik [6]

Answer:

Option D.) 236 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle GFE is half of the central angle. Measure of central angle is congruent to it's intersecting arc, therefore;

<em>2 * ∠GFE = Arc GE (?)</em>

2 * 118 = Arc GE (?)

<u>236 = Arc GE (?)</u>

Hope this helps!
