Answer:

the dimension of the box is : 8 by 5 by 3

Length = 8

Width = 5

Height = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x,y and z represent the length, width and height of the box.

Given;

The length is 3 inches more than the width

x = y+3 .......1

the width is 2 inches more than the height

y = z + 2

z = y-2 .........2

Volume = length×width×height = xyz = 120 in^3

xyz = 120 ........3

Substituting equation 1 and 2 into 3

(y+3)×y ×(y-2) = 120

y(y^2+y-6) = 120

y^3 + y^2 - 6y - 120 = 0

Solving the polynomial equation we have;

y = 5

From equation 1;

x = y+3 = 5+3

x = 8

From equation 2;

z = y-2 = 5-2

z = 3

Therefore, the dimension of the box is

8 by 5 by 3

Length = 8

Width = 5

Height = 3

What is the slant height if the surface area is 395.64 square meters? (Use 3.14 for π .) r = 7 of a cone
kodGreya [7K]
1. The formula for calculate the area of a cone is:

 A=πr²+πrl  (1)

 A is the area (A=395.64 m²).
 π=3.14
 r is the radius (r=7).
 l is the height.

 2. The formula for calculate the slant height of the cone, is given by the Pythagorean theorem:

 h²=l²+r²
 h=√(l²+r²)   (2)

 h is the slant height.

 3. We don't know the value of "l", so:

 - We must rewrite the formula (1) and clear "l":

 A=πr²+πrl 
 A-πr²=πrl
 l=A-πr²/πr

 - Now, we must susbtitute l=A-πr²/πr, into the formula (2). Then, we have:

 h=√(l²+r²) 
 h=√[(A-πr²/πr)²+r²]

 A=395.64 m²
 π=3.14
 r=7

 4. When we substitute the values above into the formula h=√[(A-πr²/πr)²+r²], we obtain the slant height:
 
 h=√[(A-πr²/πr)²+r²]
 h=√170
 h=13
