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,

An angle measures 62° more than the measure of its complementary angle. What is the
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:Let x be one of the angles.

Let (180-x) be the other angle we need.

x = (180-x) - 62

2x = 180-62

2x = 118

x = 118/2

x = 59�

180-59 = 121�

The two angles are 59� and 121�.

What will be angle COD If: angle COD minus angle KOD equals 61degrees and angle COD minus angle KOC equals 53degrees?
kenny6666 [7]

Use algebra for such problems
let, Angle COD = x
Angle KOD = y
Angle KPC = z
Given ,. x - y = 61° ( Equation 1 )
x - z = 53° ( Equation 2 )
Subtract 1st equation from 2nd and you'll get :

z - y = 8° ( Equation 3 )
Now since , x + y + z = 180° ( Equation 4 )
Add Equation 3 to Equation 4 and you'll get
x + 2z = 188° ( Equation 5)
From Equation 2 we know that , x -z = 53°
or, x = 53° + z ( Equation 6 )
Put this value of 'x' in Equation 5 and solve for z. you'll get :
(53° + z) + 2z = 188°
or
3z = 188 - 53 = 135°
solving for z we get
z = 45°
put this value of z in Equation 5
x + ( 2 x 45° ) = 188°
or
x = 188° - 90° = 98°
hence , Angle COD = 98°

What quantum numbers specify these subshells 5s 2p 3d?
Ivan
5s subshell represent that n is equal to 5 and l is equal to 0.
2p subshell represent that n is equal to 2 and l is equal to 1.
3d subshell represent that n is equal to 3 and l is equal to 2.
The numbers gives us the value of n and the letter gives us the value of l.
s means l = 0 
p means l = 1 
d means l = 2
f means l = 3
