Given:
The volume of the rectangular prism is

,
the height is h=(b+3)
1. The volume of a rectangular prism is (base area)*height
also, notice that the volume is a third degree polynomial, the height is a 1st degree polynomial, so the base area must be a 2nd degree polynomial, whose coefficients we don't know yet.
Let this quadratic polynomial be
2

notice that

is the product of the largest 2 terms:

and b, so m must be 1
also, notice that 12 is the product of the constants, k and 3
so k*3=12, this means k=4
3
we write the above equality again:


=

4
now compare the coefficient with the left side:

8=n+3
n=5
substituting n=5:
the base area is

Answer:
Answer:
28 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a total of 5 boxes, now we know that each box weighs 9 pounds, therefore:
Total weight = 5 * 9 = 45 pounds
Which means there are 45 pounds in total.
We are told that the limit is exceeded by 17 pounds. To find the limit weight, it is necessary to subtract the total weight and the excess:
45-17 = 28 pounds
Therefore, the maximum weight allowed per shipment is 28 pounds.
Answer:
9a+18=9
9a=-9
a=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallelograms and trapezoids always do.
(Note: "Parallelograms" includes rectangles, squares, and rhombussesses.)
Any polygon with more than 4 sides <u>can</u> have at least one pair of parallel sides,
but it's not guaranteed.
