Any and all help would be appreciated!
1 answer:
The way we can find out the unit rate (also known as the <em><u>SLOPE</u></em>) is by using the table as coordinates!
The slope formula is
With the table, the TIME column can be "x"
The DISTANCE column can be "y"
____________________________
As coordinates, it would look like...
(0,0)
(20, 25)
(30, 37.5) and so on!
_____________________________
All we need to do now is use 2 of these coordinates and plug them into the slope formula in their correct places to find the unit rate!
Example:
solve!
= 12.5/10 ⇒ 1.25 ( or 5/4 in fraction form)

Answer = 55,25 inches
Solution -
let's take x as length and y as width of the metal piece. As per the question x is 30 more than y,
⇒ x = y + 30
Then four square pieces of side 6 are cut from each corner,
so the new length and width are
x-12 , y-12
Then the volume of the new box created will be
(x-12)(y-12)6
in the question the volume of the given figure is given to be 3354
so (x-12)(y-12)6 = 3354
putting the value of x in the the above equation
⇒ (y+30 - 12)(x-12) = 3354/6 = 559
⇒ (y+18)(y-12) = 559
⇒ y² + 6y - 775 = 0
⇒ y² + 31y - 25y -775 = 0
⇒ (y+31)(y-25) = 0
⇒ y = -31, 25
as length can not be -ve , so y = 25
then x = 25+30 = 55
Hence the dimensions of the metal piece are 55, 25 inches
