Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Give an example of a proportion using only numbers.

When all numbers are given (A, B, C, D) in order to assess whether the proportion is true or false it will calculate the value of the division of A by B (A/B), and the value of the division of C by D then compares it. If the two resulting values are equal then the ratio is TRUE, otherwise is FALSE. Few examples of calculations 1.

How do you know it is a proportion?

A proportion is just an expression setting two ratios equal to each other, using different absolute numbers in the fractions. Proportions are written like ratios are, for example, a/b = c/d or a:b = c:d. You don't need a fancy ratio calculator function to solve most simple ratio problems.

The answer is 132° because there angle CDE is 87° so you know it's more of that. And, 264° is way too wide.

A box has a volume of 308 cm cubed. Its height is 4 cm greater than its length. Its length is 3 cm greater than its width. What

kifflom [539]

Answer:

4 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A box has a volume of 308 cm cubed.

Its height is 4 cm greater than its length.

Its length is 3 cm greater than its width.

Question asked:

What is the width of the box?

Solution:

Let width = $x\ cm$

Length = $x+3\ cm$

Height = $x+3+4=x+7\ cm$

As we know:

$Volume\ of\ box=length\times width\times height$

$308=(x+3)\times x\times(x+7)\\ \\ 308=(x^{2} +3x)(x+7)\\ \\ 308=x^{2} (x+7)+ 3x(x+7)\\ \\ 308=x^{3} +7x^{2} +3x^{2} +21x\\ \\ 308=x^{3} +10x^{2} +21x\\ \\ Subtract\ 308\ from\ both\ sides\\ \\ x^{3} +10x^{2} +21x-308=0\\ \\ factor\ left\ side\ of\ equation\\ \\ (x-4)(x^{2} +14x+77)=0\\ \\ Set\ factors\ equal\ to\ 0.\\ \\ x-4=0 \ or\ x^{2} +14x+77=0\\ \\ \\$

As width can never be in negative, $x= 4\ cm$

By substituting the value:-

Width = $x\ cm$ = 4 cm

Thus, width of the box is 4 cm.
