Volume of the box= <span>56 cubic inches
let x is the length, then
width =</span><span>2 inches shorter than its length = x - 2
</span>height = <span>3 inches taller than its length = x+3
Volume = length x width x height
56 = x x (x-2) x (x+3)
56 = (x</span>² -2x)(x+3)
56 = x³ +3x² -2x² - 6x
56 = x³ + x² -6x
x³+x²-6x-56 = 0
using the rational root theorem and factoring the polynomial;
(x-4)(x² +5x +14) = 0
from here;
x-4 = 0
x = 4
So, length = 4 inches
width = x - 2 = 4 -2 = 2 inches
length = x + 3 = 4 + 3 = 7 inches
volume = l x w x h = 4 x 2 x 7 = 56
Answer:
9 times
Step-by-step explanation:
Area = length x breadth
area of picture not enlarged = 3 x 5 = 15in²
If length is tripled it becomes , 3 x 3 = 9in
If width is tripled, it becomes , 5 x 3 = 15in
Area of enlarged picture = 9in x 15in = 135in²
amount by which enlarged image is larger = 135in² /15in² = 9
Answer:
3a + 18
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 1650 / 55 = 330 / 11 = 30
2. 5634 / 18 = 939 / 3 = 313
3. 6440 / 28 = 920 / 4 = 230
4. 5256 / 52 = 2628 / 26 = 1314 / 13 = 101.07
5. 1955 / 85 = 391 / 17 = 23
