Answer:

  • length: 32 in
  • width: 21 in

Step-by-step explanation:

If the width of the original piece of sheet metal is x, then the length is 2x-10. Subtracting a 5" square from each corner makes the bottom of the box have dimensions (x-10) and (2x-20). The volume of the box is then ...

  5(x -10)(2x -20) = 1210 . . . . . . volume is the product of the dimensions

  10(x -10)² = 1210 = 10(11²) . . . . factor the equation

  (x -10)² = 11² . . . . . . . . divide by 10

  x = 11 + 10 = 21 . . . . . .take the square root, add 10

The length and width of the original piece of sheet metal were 32 inches and 21 inches, respectively.

What THREE integers have a sum of 300?
quester [9]

Answer:

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 300. We start by assigning X to the first integer. Since they are consecutive, it means that the 2nd number will be X + 1 and the 3rd number will be X + 2 and they should all add up to 300. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 300

To solve for X, you first add the integers together and the X variables together. Then you subtract three from each side, followed by dividing by 3 on each side. Here is the work to show our math:

X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 300

3X + 3 = 300

3X + 3 - 3 = 300 - 3

3X = 297

3X/3 = 297/3

X = 99

Which means that the first number is 99, the second number is 99 + 1 and the third number is 99 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 300 are 99, 100, and 101.

99 + 100 + 101 = 300

We know our answer is correct because 99 + 100 + 101 equals 300 as displayed above.

A cone has a base area of 420mm and height of 180mm. What is the volume of the cone.
luda_lava [24]

Cone Volume = PI * radius^2 * height / 3, which can br rewritten as

Cone Volume = base area * height / 3

Cone Volume = 420mm * 60

Cone Volume = 25,200 cubic mm
