Let x = the width

then

2x = the length

:

The box dimensions: 2x by x by 4

Given the surface area:

2(2x*x) + 2(2x*4) + 2(x*4) = 220

:

4x^2 + 16x + 8x = 220


A quadratic equation:

4x^2 + 24x - 220 = 0

simplify, divide by 4

x^2 + 6x - 55 = 0

Factor

(x+11)(x-5) = 0

The positive solution is what we want here:

x = 5 ft is the width

then

2(5) = 10 ft is the length

:

Find the volume

10 * 5 * 4 = 200 cu/ft is the volume

A card is drawn from a standard deck of 52 cards. What is the theoretical probability as a decimal of drawing the number 8? Roun
Alborosie

The answer would be 0.15 because in a deck there are only 4 cards of 8 (diamonds, hearts, clovers, and spades). Since there are 52 cards, you would divide 8 by 52 to get 0.153846, but since it says to round to the nearest hundredths, the answer would be 0.15.

Well this is the question. The Scoop website charges $29 for a four line classified ad. Each additional line costs $3.45. For an
ohaa [14]

Explanation:

The cost for the ad can be calculated as:

Cost = $29 + 3.45(3) + $20

Cost = $59.35

Because the ad has 7 lines, 4 that are include in the initial

Determine if the conditional and its converse are true. If they are both true, select which biconditional correctly represents t
Ugo [173]
The conditional,  <span>If four points are non-coplanar, then they are non-collinear, </span>is true:

This is, coplanarity is a necessary condition to be collinear.

The converse, <span>If four points are non-collinear, then they are non-coplanar, is false.

A counterexample that disproves this statement is the 4 vertices of a paralelogram, of course they are in a same plane and are not collinear.
