Answer:
The original dimensions of the piece of metal are
Length: 36 inches
Width: 21 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the original length pf the piece of metal
y ----> the original width pf the piece of metal
we know that
----> equation A
The volume of the box is equal to

we have



substitute in the formula of volume
----> equation B
substitute equation A in equation B

solve for y


Solve the quadratic equation by graphing
using a graphing tool
The solution is y=21
Find the value of x

therefore
The original dimensions of the piece of metal are
Length: 36 inches
Width: 21 inches
distance = speed * time
the first bus speed = x
second bus = x - 12
the sum of distance = 765 miles
first distance = 6x
second distance = 6 (x -12)
6x + 6(x-12) = 765
x + x -12 = 127.5
2x = 139.5
x = 69.75 mi/h which is the faster bus
the second bus speed = 57.75 mi/h
Explaining- when you look at the vertex to the other vertex you see the length and that is when you multiply
Answer- A
