Let x be the width of the cardboard (which means the length of the cardboard is x+88), then the dimensions of the box are:
Length = [(x + 88) - 2(33)]
Width = x - 2(33)
Heighth = 33
Volume = length · width · heighth
144,144 = [(x + 88) - 2(33)] · [x - 2(33)] · 33
144,144 = (x+22)(x-66)(33)
4368 = (x+22)(x-66)
4368 = x² - 44x - 1452
0 = x² - 44x - 5820
use the quadratic formula to calculate that x = 101
Answer: cardboard width = 101, cardboard length = 189
The cross-section of a square pyramid will be a square. The section above the cross-section taken will basically be a similar but smaller square pyramid. D is the correct answer.
Answer:
$26.80
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply 1.79 by 5 and you get 8.95
multiply 1.19 by 15 now because there are 15 uncounted bags left and you get 17.85
add together and you get 26.8. she spent 26.8 dollars on candy
Answer:
b1 = 2 ; r = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
if b3 −b1 = 16 and b5 −b3 = 144.
For a geometric series :
Ist term = a
Second term = ar
3rd term = ar^2
4th term = ar^3
5th term = ar^4 ;...
If b3 - b1 = 16;
ar^2 - a = 16
a(r^2 - 1) = 16 - - - (1)
b5 - b3 = 144
ar^4 - ar^2 = 144
ar^2(r^2 - 1) = 144 - - - - (2)
Divide (1) by (2)
a(r^2 - 1) / ar^2(r^2 - 1) = 16 /144
a / ar^2 = 1 / 9
ar^2 = 9a
Substitute for a in ar^2 - a = 16
9a - a = 16
8a = 16
a = 2
From ar^2 - a = 16
2r^2 - 2 = 16
2r^2 = 16 + 2
2r^2 = 18
r^2 = 18 / 2
r^2 = 9
r = √9
r = 3
Hence ;
a = b1 = 2 ; r = 3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
z = 3
2y + z = 1
2y + 3 = 1 {substituting z =3}
2y = 1 -3
2y = -2
y = - 2/2
y = -1
2x +3y +2z = 13
2x + 3 * (-1) + 2*3 = 13 { {substituting z =3} and y = -1}
2x -3 + 6 =13
2x + 3 = 13
2x = 13 - 3
2x= 10
x = 10/2
x = 5
