Answer:

16 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

A cube has 6 sides and to find the surface area you would multiply one side by 6, or add the six sides together. So instead, to find the length of one side, you divide the surface area, 96, by 6 to get 16.

Hope this helps you :)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the length of cube=x in

surface area=6 x²

6 x²=96

x²=96/6=16

x=√16=4 in

Find the solutions of the quadratic equation -9c² +2 +3 = 0.

Tresset [83]

Given that,

An equation : -9c² +2c +3 = 0

To find,

Find the value of x.

Solution,

We have, -9c² +2c +3 = 0

We can solve it using the formula as follows :

$x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Here, a = -9, b = 2 and c =3

Put the values,

$c=\dfrac{-2\pm \sqrt{(2)^2-4(-9)(3)}}{2(-9)}\\\\c=\dfrac{-2+\sqrt{(2)^{2}-4(-9)(3)}}{2(-9)}, \dfrac{-2-\sqrt{(2)^{2}-4(-9)(3)}}{2(-9)}\\\\c=-0.47, 0.69$
