Answer:

width = 5 in

length = 5+4=9 in

height = 2(5)= 10 in

Step-by-step explanation:

A gift box has a volume of 450 cubic inches.

Let 'w' be the width of the box

The width of the box is 4 inches less than the length.

length = w+4

The height is twice the width.

height = 2 \cdot width

height = 2w

Volume of box = length times width times height

V=(w+4)(w)(2w)

450=(w+4)(w)(2w)

450=2w^3+8w^2

2w^3+8w^2-450=0

\quad 2\left(w-5\right)\left(w^2+9w+45\right)=0

w-5=0

w=5

\quad\left(w^2+9w+45\right)=0, this gives two complex values

so width = 5

length = 5+4=9

height = 2(5)= 10

vladimir2022 [97]
The difference between 2x+16=14 than 2x+16=x+14 is that you would have to solve x in two different ways like finding the first equation another way than to the second equation ( I think ).

Use the figure from the example to find the length GH. Assume △DEF ≅ △GHJ.

The two triangles are congruent, so corresponding parts of the two triangles are congruent.
GH is corresponding to DE, so GH=DE=17

Prove that if two lines intersect each other then the vertically opposite angles are equal.
Svetradugi [14.3K]

If two lines intersect each other then the vertically opposite angles are equal.

<h3>What is a line?</h3>

A line is a one-dimensional figure, which has length but no width. A line is made of a set of points which is extended in opposite directions infinitely.

To prove, two lines intersect each other then the vertically opposite angles are equal.

Suppose there are two lines AB and CD intersecting at a point O.

So, the angles a and c ; b and d are vertically opposite.

Now taking line AB,

Since sum of angles made on a straight line is 180°.

Thus ∠a + ∠b = 180°    ...(i)

Similarly taking line CD,

∠b + ∠c = 180°            ....(ii)

Comparing eq (i)  and (ii) we get,

∠a + ∠b = ∠b + ∠c

Therefore, we get

∠a = ∠c

which are vertically opposite angles.

Taking line CD,

Since sum of angles made on a straight line is 180°.

Thus ∠c + ∠b = 180°    ...(iii)

Similarly taking line CD,

∠c + ∠d = 180°            ....(iv)

Comparing eq (iii)  and (iv) we get,

∠c + ∠b = ∠c + ∠d

Therefore, we get

∠b = ∠d

which are vertically opposite angles.

Thus, if two lines intersect each other then the vertically opposite angles are equal.

a. Assuming a linear relationship between year and salaries by gender, determine when the median annual salary for women will ex
Snowcat [4.5K]

First We have to find the tendency for both cases individually. Let's calculate the equation of the line for each one.

For Men we take two points (year, salary) ( 2 , 35,308) ( 4 , 37076) With these points we are going to calculate the slope of the line.

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}=\frac{37076-35308}{4-2}=884

Then, we have to calculate the intercept of the line with the slope and point (2, 35,308)

y= mx+ b

35,308 = 884*(2)+b

Isolating b,

35,308 - 1768 = b

33540=b

The first equation must be y = 884x +33540

For Women we take two points (year, salary) ( 2 , 27,508) ( 4 , 29,796 ) With these points we are going to calculate the slope of the line

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}=\frac{29,796-27,508}{4-2}=1144

Then, we have to calculate the intercept of the line with the slope and point (2, 27,508)

y= mx+ b

27,508 = 1144*(2)+b

Isolating b,

27,508 - 2288 = b

25220=b

The second equation must be y = 1144x +25220

Now We are going to find the incercept of these equations, we are going to formulate the following equation

884x+33540 = 1144x+25220

33540-25220=1144x-884x ( Isolating terms with x)

8320=260x (Solving on each side)

8320/260 = x =32 ( Isolating x)

It implies that after 32 years Women would exceed men.

B. It seems that as the number of bachelor degrees of women exceeds men's number, the salary increases at a higher rate. So , the change would be greater for women than men every year.
