Recall the shipping box scenario from the Introduction. As an employee of a sporting goods company, you need to order shipping b

oxes for bike helmets. Each helmet is packaged in a box that is n inches wide, n inches long, and 8 inches tall. The shipping box you order should accommodate the boxed helmets along with some packing material that will take up an extra 2 inches of space along the width and 4 inches of space along the length. The height of the shipping box should be the same as the helmet box. 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 dimensions of the helmet box are as follows

Width is 9 inches

Length is 9 inches

Height is 8 inches

The dimensions of the shipping box ordered are as follows;

Width is 11 inches

Length is 13 inches

Height is 8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

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

8·n² + 48·n + 64 = 1144

8·n² + 48·n - 1080 = 0

8×(n - 9)×(n + 15) = 0

∴ n = 9 or -15 inches

The dimensions of the helmet box are as follows

Width = 9 in.

Length = 9 in.

Height = 8 in.

The dimensions of the shipping box ordered are as follows;

Width = 9 + 2 = 11 in.

Length = 9 + 4 = 13 in.

Height = 8 in.

Jason Runs 100 yards in 15 seconds How Many feet can jason run in 15 seconds
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

He can run 20 ft in 15 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

we need to change yards to ft

3ft = 1yd

100 yds * 3ft/1yd = 300 ft

distance = rate * time

300 ft = rate * 15 seconds

divide by 15 seconds on both sides

300 ft/15 seconds = rate

20 ft/sec

He can run 20 ft in 15 seconds

I would really appreciate it if you could help me please
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Yes, triangle GYK is similar to triangle BAK.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides of each triangle are proportional to each other.

Take the longest side of each triangle. You are comparing line AK with line KY.

The proportion is 15/25.

Now, take the shortest side of each triangle. You are comparing line KB with GK.

The proportion is 6/10.

To determine if the triangles are proportional, we can see if the two proportions are equal to each other:

15/20=6/10

3/5=6/10

Correct! 3/5 equals to 6/10. Therefore, the two triangles are similar because their sides are proportional.

Hope this helps :)
