A machine produces open boxes using square sheets of metal. The machine cuts​ equal-sized squares measuring 2 inches on a side f

rom the corners and then shapes the metal into an open box by turning up the sides. If each box must have a volume of 162 cubic​ inches, find the length and width of the open box.

Answer:

width  9''    length 9''

Step-by-step explanation:

2 " is cut off from both sides

so the base of the box will be a square  

area * height = volume of box  

side = x

height =2  

2x^2=162  

x^2=81

x=9 inches  the side of the box

Volume =162

V=area*height      V= 81*2= 162

Answer:

Length is 9 in and width is 9 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the side length of squared shaped sheet of metal is x inches,

∵  After cutting 4 equal squares having side length 2 inches from each corner,

The dimension of the resultant box (x-4) inches ×(x-4)  inches × 2 inches,

i.e. length = width = x - 4 inches,

Height = 2 inches,

Tus, the volume of the box,

V=(x-4)(x-4)(2)  ( in cubic inches )

According to the question,

(x-4)(x-4)(2) = 162

(x-4)^2 = 81

x-4=\pm 9

x=13 \text{ or }x = -5

∵ Side can not be negative,

Hence, the length and width of the box = 13 - 4 = 9 inches,

Jayden and Sheridan both tried to find the missing side of the right triangle. A right triangle is shown. One leg is labeled as
stellarik [79]

Answer:

Sheridan's Work is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The lengths side of a right triangle must satisfy the Pythagoras Theorem

c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}

where

a and b are the legs

c is the hypotenuse (the greater side)

In this problem

Let

a=7\ cm\\c=13\ cm

substitute

13^{2}=7^{2}+b^{2}

Solve for b

169=49+b^{2}

b^{2}=169-49

b^{2}=120

b=\sqrt{120}\ cm

b=10.95\ cm

we have that

<em>Jayden's Work</em>

a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}

a=7\ cm\\b=13\ cm

substitute and solve for c

7^{2}+13^{2}=c^{2}

49+169=c^{2}

218=c^{2}

c=\sqrt{218}\ cm

c=14.76\ cm

Jayden's Work is incorrect, because the missing side is not the hypotenuse of the right triangle

<em>Sheridan's Work</em>

a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}

a=7\ cm\\c=13\ cm

substitute

7^{2}+b^{2}=13^{2}

Solve for b

49+b^{2}=169

b^{2}=169-49

b^{2}=120

b=\sqrt{120}\ cm

b=10.95\ cm

therefore

Sheridan's Work is correct
