Answer:
Width of the box = 2 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of a box = length × width × height
Volume of the box = 240 cubic inches
Length of the box = (x + 8) inches
Width of the box = x inches
Height of the box = 12 inches
Volume of a box = length × width × height
240 = (x + 8) * x * 12
240 = (x² + 8x) * 12
240 = 12x² + 96x
12x² + 96x - 240 = 0
x² + 8x - 20 = 0
Solve quadratic equation using factorization method
x² + 10x - 2x - 20 = 0
x(x + 10) -2(x + 10) = 0
(x + 10) (x - 2) = 0
x + 10 = 0 OR x - 2 = 0
x = -10 OR x = 2
Width of the box can not be a negative value
Therefore,
Width of the box = 2 inches
Answer:
4 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The geometry is that of a right triangle with hypotenuse 8.5 m and one side of length 7.5 m. If "b" represents the distance from the base of the ladder to the wall, the Pythagorean theorem tells us ...
b² + 7.5² = 8.5²
b² + 56.25 = 72.25
b² = 16 . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 56.25
b = 4 . . . . meters . . . (take the square root)
The base of the ladder is 4 m from the wall.

Answer: B. rectangular pyramid
First of all I want to point out you drew the diagram a little wrong. The Arc is 41 doesn't mean its 41 degrees it means it has length 41 so remove the degrees symbol.
Now for the answer the other arc have to have angle 40 too because vertical angles. And because the radius is the same, both of the length has formula 40/360*pi*2*radius which is 41 in this case. So x has to be 41 also :) Done!
