1 answer:

4 0

Not with whole numbers, your only options would be
6x4 which would have a perimeter of 20
8x3 p=22
12x2 p=28
24x1 p=50
as for decimals, i don't believe that there would be any but not 100% sure

A rectangular piece of metal is 25 in longer than it is wide. Squares with sides 5 in long are cut from the four corners and the

Answer:

The original length was 41 inches and the original width was 16 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the original length of the piece of metal

y ----> the original width of the piece of metal

we know that

When squares with sides 5 in long are cut from the four corners and the flaps are folded upward to form an open box

The dimensions of the box are

$L=(x-10)\ in\\W=(y-10)\ in\\H=5\ in$

The volume of the box is equal to

$V=(x-10)(y-10)5$

$V=930\ in^3$

$930=(x-10)(y-10)5$

simplify

$186=(x-10)(y-10)$ -----> equation A

Remember that

The piece of metal is 25 in longer than it is wide

$x=y+25$ ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

$186=(y+25-10)(y-10)$

solve for y

$186=(y+15)(y-10)\\186=y^2-10y+15y-150\\y^2+5y-336=0$

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing

using a graphing tool

The solution is y=16

see the attached figure

Find the value of x

$x=16+25=41$

therefore

The original length was 41 inches and the original width was 16 inches

<h3>Answer: x = 5</h3>

=====================

Work Shown:

Angle Bisector Theorem

9/(2x-1) = 15/3x

9*3x = 15(2x-1) ... cross multiply

27x = 30x-15

27-30x = 30x-15-30x ... subtract 30x from both sides

-3x = -15

-3x/(-3) = -15/(-3) .... divide both sides by -3

x = 5

Average thickness of book = Total thickness/mo. of books
= 28 cm/ 10
= 2.8 cm
Thus, on average, each book has 2.8 cm thickness.

Since it is a 45-45-90 right triangle, the formula is:
Hypotenuse= sqrt2 * leg
Since you know hypotenuse = 9sqrt2 the leg has to be 9
