Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a box like this is found by multiplying the length times the width times the height. We are told that the length is 8 more inches than the width, so the width is w and the length is w + 8. If we cut away 3 square inches from each corner, the height when we fold up those corners is going to be 3. The volume is given as 27, so our formula looks like this:

. When we do that multiplication, we have

. We need to solve for w so we can then solve for h. Move the 27 over and set the quadratic equal to 0.

. We can then factor out a 3 to make the job easier:

. Now we can factor to solve for w. The 2 numbers that add up to 8 and multiply to -9 are 9 and -1. So (w+9) = 0, (w-1) = 0, or 3 = 0. Of course 3 doesn't equal 0, so that's out. w + 9 = 0 so w = -9. w - 1 = 0 so w = 1. There are 2 things in math that can never EVER be negative and those are time and distance/length. So -9 is out. That means that w = 1. But don't forget that there was 6 inches cut off each side, so the width is 1 + 3 + 3 which is 7. The length is w + 8 which means that the length is 7 + 8 or 15. Those are the dimensions of the rectangle before it was cut.
Answer: 4.2
Step-by-step explanation:
when you square root 18 you get 4.242. When rounded to the nearest tenth you get 4.2 since 4 is not nor is 5 and exceeds it.

Step-by-step explanation:
Divide the number of laps by the number of swimmers for one of the rows. I did 108/9. You can double check by doing a second row. I did it wrong the first time sorry. That’s why you double check
