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.

The height of a triangular window is 3 feet less than its base. The area the window is 20 ft.? find the dimensions of the window
Ivenika [448]

Let us assume base of the window = b feet.

Height is 3 feet less than base, that is = (b-3).

Given area of the triangle = 20 feet square.

We know formula for area of a triangle:

Area = \frac{1}{2} × Base × Height

Plugging values in formula, we get

20 = \frac{1}{2} b \times (b-3)

\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:}2

40=b\left(b-3\right)

40=b^2-3b

b^2-3b-40=0

Factoring quadratic, we get

\left(b+5\right)\left(b-8\right)=0

b+5=0

b=-5

b-8=0

b=8.

For base we can take only positive value.

<h3>Therefore, base of the triangle = 8 feet and height = 8 -3 = 5 feet.</h3>

PLS HELP ME ASAP FOR 1, 2, 3, and 4 (SHOW WORK!!) + LOTS OF POINTS!!
Lera25 [3.4K]
1/2in = 16 mi
2 3/4 in without whole numbers [(denominator ×whole) + numerator] / denominator
4×2 = 8 +3 = 11/4
Find common denominator for 1/2 and 11/4 (common D Is 4)
Multiply 1/2 by 2/2
2/4 in = 16 mi divide this by 2
2/4 ×1/2 = 1/4
16 /2 = 8
1/4 = 8
1/4 goes into 11/4 11 times
Multiply 8 times 11
88 miles (D)

End zone to end zone is = length so his scale is 6 in and in real life it is 360 ft
To find scale divide 360 by 6
1in = 60 ft (B)

160 ft wide
(divide 160 by 60 ft ) fraction
160/60 is a fraction now simplify
16/6
Common factors of both numbers is 2
Simplify by 2
8/3
Make into whole number fraction
3 goes into 8 two times (2×3=6)(2 becomes whole number) while there's is 2 left over( 8 -6=2) (becoming the numerator)
2 2/3 in (B)

120 ft long
80 ft wide

24 in is scale of "long"
Divide 120 by 24
120÷24=5
So 5in in scale equals 1ft in real life
To find width in scale divide 80 by 5
80/5= 16in (A)

If you have any trouble understanding feel free to let me know I will try to explain as best as I can :)
