Answer:

b < 10

Step-by-step explanation:

-b - 2 > 8

Add 2 to both sides.

-b > 10

Divide both sides by -1. When dividing by a negative, flip the inequality sign.

b < 10.

A college parking lot is 140 ft long and 90 ft wide. The college wants to increase the area of the lot by 29% by adding strips o

Novay_Z [31]

The initial dimenssions of the park lot are:

length: 140 ft
width: 90 ft

initial area: 140 * 90 = 12,600 ft^2

Area increased 29% = 12,600 * 1.29 = 16,254 ft^2

width of the strips: x

New length: 140 + x

New width: 90 + x

New area: (140+x)(90+x) = 16,254

Solution of the equation:

12600 + 230x + x^2 = 16254

=> x^2 + 230x - 3654 = 0

Use the quadratic formula.

x = {-230 +/- √[ 230^2 - 4*1*(-3654) ]} / 2 =

x = 14.92

The other solution is negative so it is discarded.

Answer: 15 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Volume And Function s</u>

Geometry can usually be joined with algebra to express volumes as a function of some variable. The volume of a parallelepiped of dimensions a,b,c is

$V=abc$

Our problem consists in computing the volume of a box made with some sheet of metal 12 ft by 18 ft. The four corners are cut by a square distance x as shown in the image below .

If the four corners are to be lifted and a box formed, the base of the box will have dimensions (12-2x)(18-2x) and the height will be x. The volume of the box is

$V=x(12-2x)(18-2x)$
