A rectangular piece of metal is 30 in longer than it is wide. Squares with sides 6 in long are cut from the four corners and the

flaps are folded upward to form an open
box. If the volume of the box is 1050 in3, what were the original dimensions of the piece of metal?

breadth= X

L= x+30

after you cut a square with 6in from the corners, the length becomes x+30-6 =x+24 and breadth becomes x-6.

The eqn for volume of box is Length x Breadth x height

it's given that LxBxH = 1050

here height is 6, because u are folding the edge where it's been cut off and that side becomes the height.

rewrite with the given information we get

(x+24)*(x-6)*6 = 1050

divide both sides with 6

(x+25)*(x-6) = 175

distribute the brackets we get,

x^2 -18x -144 =175

x^2 -18x-319 = 0

solve for x using quadratic formula.

we get x= 29, -11

since length cannot be negative x= 29

B= 29, L=59.

Hello whats is the size of the angle
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

x = 65°

Step-by-step explanation:

The interior angle of the triangle and 140° are adjacent and supplementary, thus

interior angle = 180° - 140° = 40°

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.

105° is an exterior angle of the triangle, thus

x + 40° = 105° ( subtract 40° from both sides )

x = 65°
