Can you say what is the line between the 14 and 8
Label the 3 distinct sides of the box. I arbitrarily chose the letters a, b and c.
Use the info about areas as follows:
ab=54 in^2
ac=90 in^2
bc=60 in^2
Here you have 3 equations in 3 unknowns (a, b and c), which is enough info to use to determine a, b and c. Then the volume of the box is a*b*c.
Example: bc = 90, but c = 60/b. You could subst. 60/b for c in the 2nd and 3rd equation, which will eliminate c completely and leave you with 2 equations in 2 unknowns.
Continuing this procedure, I determined that a=9, b=6 and c=10. Thus, the volume of the box is V = 9*6*10 = 540 cubic inches (answer)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the height = h
Let the base = 4h + 7
Area of a triangle = 1/2 * b * h
Area = 93 square inches
1/2 * (4h + 7)* h = 93 Multiply both sides by 2
(4h + 7) * h = 93*2
(4h + 7)*h = 186 Remove the brackets
4h^2 + 7h = 186 Subtract 186 from both sides.
4h^2 + 7h - 186 = 0
Use the quadratic formula to solve
a = 4
b = 7
c = - 186
x1 = (-7 + sqrt(7^2 - 4*4*(-186) ) /2*4
x1 = (-7 + sqrt(49 - 16*(-186)) / 8
x1 = (-7 + sqrt(49 + 2976)) / 8
x1 = (-7 + sqrt(3025)) / 8
x1 = (-7 +55 ) / 8
x1 = (48)/8
x1 = 6
There is another root, but it has to be minus and therefore cannot be used as a length. x2 = - 7.75
h = 6
b = 4*6 + 7 = 31
Check
Area = 1/2 * b * h
Area = 1/2 * 31 * 6
Area = 1/2 *186
Area = 93 which is what we were given so the answer is correct.
First, factor out a 3.
3(x² - 9)
In any quadratic ax² + bx + c, we can split the bx term up into two new terms which we want to equal the product of a and c.
In this case, we have x² + 0x - 9. (the 0x is a placeholder)
We want two numbers that add to 0 and multiply to get -9.
Obviously, these numbers are 3 and -3.
Now we have 3(x² + 3x - 3x - 9).
Let's factor.
3(x(x+3)-3(x+3))
<u>3(x-3)(x+3)</u>
There are multiple shortcuts which you could make here, FYI:
Instead of splitting the middle, if your a value is 1, you can go straight to that step (x+number)(x+other number).
Whenever you have a difference of squares, like a²-b², that factors to (a+b)(a-b).
Answer:
Maybe the Answer is 504
Step-by-step explanation:
Because 8x7 = 56x9 = 504
