nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Part 1)

The equation by factorization is

$x^{2}+12x-230=(x-(-6+\sqrt{266}))(x-(-6-\sqrt{266}))$

Both values of x are

$x1=-6+\sqrt{266}$

$x2=-6-\sqrt{266}$

Part 2) The dimensions of the cuboid are

$4\ cm$ , $(-5+\sqrt{266})\ cm$ and $(5+\sqrt{266})\ cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

we know that

The volume of the cuboid is equal to

$V=LWH$

substitute the given values

$V=4(x+1)(x+11)$

$V=924\ cm^{3}$

$4(x+1)(x+11)=924\\4(x^{2}+11x+x+11)=924\\ 4(x^{2}+12x+11)=924\\x^{2}+12x+11=231\\x^{2}+12x-230=0$

Complete the square

$x^{2}+12x-230=0$

$x^{2}+12x=230$

$x^{2}+12x+36=230+36$

$(x+6)^{2}=266$

square root both sides

$x+6=(+/-)\sqrt{266}$

$x=-6(+/-)\sqrt{266}$

$x1=-6+\sqrt{266}$

$x2=-6-\sqrt{266}$

therefore

The equation by factorization is

$x^{2}+12x-230=(x-(-6+\sqrt{266}))(x-(-6-\sqrt{266}))$

step 2

Find the dimensions of the cuboid

The dimensions are

$4\ cm$

$(x+1)\ cm -----> (-6+\sqrt{266}+1)=(-5+\sqrt{266})\ cm$

$(x+11)\ cm ----> (-6+\sqrt{266}+11)=(5+\sqrt{266})\ cm$

A label that wraps around a box of golf balls covers 75 percent of its lateral surface area. What is the value of x?

mestny [16]

Answer:

To find the area of the rectangular prism, use the formula:

A = width x height x length

A = 2 x 2 x 3

A = 12

Now multiply A with 0.75

12 x 0.75 = 9

x = 9 in³

hope this helps
