Answer: V = (12in - 2*x)*(8 in - 2*x)*x
Step-by-step explanation:
So we have a rectangular cardboard sheet, and we cut four squares of side length x in each corner so we can make a box.
Remember that for a box of length L, width W and height H, the volume is:
V = L*W*H
In this case, the length initially is 12 inches, but we remove (from each end) x inches of the length, then the length of the box will be:
L = 12 in - 2*x
For the width we have a similar case:
W = 8in - 2*x
And te height of the box will be equal to x, then:
H = x
This means that the volume is:
V = (12in - 2*x)*(8 in - 2*x)*x
Here we can see the connection between the cutout and the volume of the box
Answer:
George must run the last half mile at a speed of 6 miles per hour in order to arrive at school just as school begins today
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we are interested in calculating the number of hours George must walk to arrive at school the normal time he arrives given that his speed is different from what it used to be.
Let’s first start at looking at how many hours he take per day on a normal day, all things being equal.
Mathematically;
time = distance/speed
He walks 1 mile at 3 miles per hour.
Thus, the total amount of time he spend each normal day would be;
time = 1/3 hour or 20 minutes
Now, let’s look at his split journey today. What we know is that by adding the times taken for each side of the journey, he would arrive at the school the normal time he arrives given that he left home at the time he used to.
Let the unknown speed be x miles/hour
Mathematically;
We shall be using the formula for time by dividing the distance by the speed
1/3 = 1/2/(2) + 1/2/x
1/3 = 1/4 + 1/2x
1/2x = 1/3 - 1/4
1/2x = (4-3)/12
1/2x = 1/12
2x = 12
x = 12/2
x = 6 miles per hour
Exponent rule : a^-b = 1 / a^b
52^-5 =
1 / 52^5 =
1 / (52 * 52 * 52 * 52 * 52)
(x - 8)² = 144
Take square root of both sides
(x - 8) = √144
x - 8 = 12
x = 12 + 8
x = 20
