Answer:
The original length was 41 inches and the original width was 16 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the original length of the piece of metal
y ----> the original width of the piece of metal
we know that
When squares with sides 5 in long are cut from the four corners and the flaps are folded upward to form an open box
The dimensions of the box are
The volume of the box is equal to
so
simplify
-----> equation A
Remember that
The piece of metal is 25 in longer than it is wide
so
----> equation B
substitute equation B in equation A
solve for y
Solve the quadratic equation by graphing
using a graphing tool
The solution is y=16
see the attached figure
Find the value of x
therefore
The original length was 41 inches and the original width was 16 inches

Step-by-step explanation:
The law of sines is a property of all triangles that relates the sides and angles of a triangle. This property states the following:
Where side (A) is the side opposite angle (<a), side (B) is the side opposite angle (<b), and side (C) is the property opposite angle (<c).
Substitute each of the sides and respective angles into the formula, and solve for the unknown angle (<x). Please note that a triangle with two congruent sides (referred to as an isosceles triangle) has a property called the base angles theorem. This states that the angles opposite the congruent sides in an isosceles triangle are congruent. Therefore, there can be two (<x)'s in this triangle.
One can shorten the equation so it only holds the parts that will play a role in solving this equation,
Now take the cross product in this equation to simplify it further,
Inverse operations, solve this equation for (x),
