Answer:

54ft

Step-by-step explanation:

if 3foot is 4ft tall

then a shadow of 72 ft will be how tall?= x

4x =3ft by 72ft

4x= 216ft

x= 216/4

×=54

Let's call our number <em>x</em>.

So we can setup the equation x² = 100.

To solve this equation, we square root both sides.

So we have x = ±10.

Always use plus or minus when square rooting both sides

of an equation so our answer is not only 10, it's also -10.

The factors of the quadratic function g(x) are (5x – 1) and (x + 4). What are the solutions to the equation g(x) = 0?
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

The solutions to the equation are x = \frac{1}{5} and x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The factors of the quadratic function g(x) are (5x – 1) and (x + 4).

This means that:

g(x) = 0

(5x - 1)(x + 4) = 0

So

5x - 1 = 0

5x = 1

x = \frac{1}{5}

And

x + 4 = 0

x = -4

The solutions to the equation are x = \frac{1}{5} and x = -4

Raj's company ships T-shirts in boxes shaped like cubes. The picture below shows the cube
Rzqust [24]

Answer: The surface area of each cube is 24 ft² (24 square feet)

Step-by-step explanation: The boxes according to the question are shaped like cubes, which means the shape we have here has square faces on all sides. Also the boxes have been opened up into nets and this shows each box as having 6 faces.

The area of each face is derived as follows;

Area = L x W

Area = 2 x 2

Area = 4 ft²

Having calculated the surface area of each face, a box or cube with 6 faces will have its surface area as;

Area of box = Face area x 6

Area of box = 4 x 6

Area of box = 24 ft²

Therefore in designing labels for all of the boxes, Raj would need 24 square feet of label for each box.
