Answer:

The crib is 30 inches wide and 23 inches long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the crib is rectangular, then the crib has a length L and a width W.

And remember that for a rectangle of width W and length L, the perimeter is:

P = 2*L + 2*W = 2*(L + W)

And the area is:

A = L*W

In this case, the perimeter is 106 in, then:

P = 106in = 2*(L + W)

And we also know that the area is 690 in^2

Then:

A = 690in^2 = L*W

Then we have a system of equations:

106in = 2*(L + W)

690in^2 = L*W

To solve this, first, we need to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations.

Let's isolate L in the first one:

106in/2 = L + W

53 in = L + W

53in - W = L

Now we can replace this in the other equation:

690in^2 = L*W = (53in - W)*W = 53in*W - W^2

690in^2 =  53in*W - W^2

Now we need to solve this for W.

This is a quadratic equation:

W^2 - 53in*W + 690 in^2 = 0

The solutions of this equation are given by Bhaskara's formula:

W = \frac{-(-53in)\pm \sqrt{(-53in)^2 - 4*1*(690in^2)}  }{2} =  \frac{57in \pm 7in}{2}

Then the two possible solutions of W are:

W = (53in + 7in)/2 = 30in

W = (53in - 7in)/2 = 23in

We can choose any one of these, so let's choose W = 30in

If we replace this in the equation: "53in - W = L"

We can find the value of L:

53in - 30in = 23in = L

Then we have:

W = 30in

L = 23in

A carpenter constructed a rectangular sandbox with a capacity of 10 cubic feet. If the carpenter were to make a similar sandbox
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

(D)80 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume volume of the sandbox is = L × W × H

Where L = Length, W= width, H= Height.

A sandbox has the same shape as a cuboid.

A cuboid is a solid shape with rectangular base and sides. It has six rectangular faces if all sides are closed.

From the question,

LWH = 10ft³ ........................ (1).

If a similar sandbox twice as long, twice as wide and twice as high.

∴ L₍n₎= 2L, W₍n) =2W, H₍n₎ = 2H

Where L₍n₎, W₍n), H₍n₎ is the new Length,  new Width and  new Height of the similar sandbox.

∴L₍n₎ ×W₍n)× H₍n₎  = 2L × 2W × 2H

   and Volume of the new sandbox = L₍n₎ ×W₍n)× H₍n₎

 ⇒Volume of the new sandbox = 2 × 2 ×2 ×L×W×H

     Volume of the new sandbox = 8 × LWH....................(2)

    In equation(1) LWH = 10ft³.

     Substituting the value in equation(2)

    ∴Volume of the new(similar) sandbox= 8 × 10

       =80ft³.

Therefore the capacity of the second sandbox in cubic feet is 80.

The answer is option (D).

Which statement BEST describes the graph of f(x - 6)?
Alex

Answer:

B. f(x) is shifted left by 6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

when we talk about translations, we know they happen along the X axis, y axis or sometimes both, in this case we see that were subtracting x by six units, so we are moving left along the x axis

ways to remember this is:

 -you count up x the RIGHT way going right

 -you count UP y

and of cource by process of ellimination we know that decreasing X goes left and decreasing y goes down

ALSO NOTE: x always goes horizontally and y always goes vertically
