The volume of the shipping box needs to be 1,144 cubic inches. The equation that models the volume of the shipping box is 8(n +

2)(n + 4) = 1,144.
Answer the following questions about the equation modeling the volume of the shipping box.

Question 1

Solve the equation that models the volume of the shipping box, 8(n + 2)(n + 4) = 1,144. If you get two solutions, are they both reasonable?

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

8(n + 2)(n + 4) = 1,144

FOIL

8(n^2 +2n+4n+8) = 1144

Divide each side by 8

8/8(n^2 +2n+4n+8) = 1144/8

(n^2 +2n+4n+8) = 143

Combine like terms

n^2 +6n+8 = 143

Subtract 143 from each side

n^2 +6n+8 -143= 0

Combine like terms

n^2 +6n -135 =0

Factor

What two terms multiply to -135 and add to 6

-9*15 =-135

-9+15 = 6

(n-9) (n+15) =0

Using the zero product property

n-9 =0    n+15=0

n = 9   n=-15

The length cannot be negative so n = -15 cannot be  a solution

n =9

Answer:

n = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

8(n + 2)(n + 4) = 1,144

(n + 2)(n + 4) = 143

n² + 2n + 4n + 8 = 143

n² + 6n - 135 = 0

n² + 15n - 9n - 135 = 0

n(n + 15) - 9(n + 15) = 0

(n - 9)(n + 15) = 0

n = 9, -15

since n is a length, it can not be negative

Therefore the only solution is n = 9

Help picture below problem 12
inysia [295]

Answer:

124°

Step-by-step explanation:

Not the best at explaining but should be equal to 180 straight across. You have to find the missing angle. You know the right angle is 90° so you will add 34° to get 124°. 180-124 will get you 56°. Straught across you have the angle that you are trying to find which is 124° because 180-56 is 124.

Rectangle poster is 3 times as long as wide perimeter is 24 in
Alexxandr [17]

w= width

l = 3w

P = 2(l+w)

substitute

24 = 2(3w+w)

24 = 2(4w)

24 =8w

3 =w

The width is 3 inches

the length is 9 inches

With similar triangles, the ratios of all three pairs of corresponding sides are equal
Elza [17]
<h3>Yes, this is true.</h3>

To be considered similar triangles, the angles must be the exact same, and the sides must be proportional. The side lengths do not have to be exactly the same, but they must be proportional (like a ratio, suppose one triangle has a side length of 1, and the similar triangle has a side length of 3. The ratio is 1:3, and all sides will follow this ratio.)
