Answer:
The length of
is;
D. 38 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameters are;
The type of the given quadrilateral FGHI = Rectangle
The diagonals of the quadrilateral =
and 
The length of IE = 3·x + 4
The length of EG = 5·x - 6
We have from segment addition postulate,
= IE + EG
The properties of a rectangle includes;
1) Each diagonal bisects the other diagonal into two
Therefore,
bisects
, into two equal parts, from which we have;
IE = EG
= IE + EG
3·x + 4 = 5·x - 6
4 + 6 = 5·x - 3·x = 2·x
10 = 2·x
∴ x = 10/2 = 5
From which we have;
IE = 3·x + 4 = 3 × 5 + 4 = 19 units
EG = 5·x - 6 = 5 × 5 - 6 = 19 units
= IE + EG = 19 + 19 = 38 units
= 38 units
2) The lengths of the two diagonals are equal. Therefore, the length of segment
is equal to the length of segment
Mathematically, we have;
=
= 38 units
∴
= 38 units.
Answer: b
Step-by-step explanation:
If the dimensions were all the same number ... the box was a cube ...
then each dimension would be (the cube root of 13,800) cm.
∛13,800 = 23.986... (rounded)
so the place to look is around 23 .
(22 x 23 x 24) = 12,144 <== too small; go up one integer
(23 x 24 x 25) = 13,800 <== Eureka !
The consecutive integers are 23, 24, and 25 .
