Answer: the length is 11 cm.
The width is 7 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let L represent the length of the rectangular plastic box.
Let W represent the width of the rectangular plastic box.
The area of the rectangular top of the box is 77 square cm. This means that
LW = 77- - - - - - - ;- - - -1
The plastic box has a length 4 cm longer than its width. This means that
L = W + 4
Substituting L = W + 4 into equation 1, it becomes
(W + 4)W = 77
W² + 4W = 77
W² + 4W - 77 = 0
W² + 11W - 7W - 77 = 0
W(W + 11) - 7(W + 11) = 0
W - 7 = 0 or W + 11 = 0
W = 7 or W = - 11
Since the width cannot be negative, then W = 7cm
L = 77/7 = 11 cm
Answer : The two dimensions are the same in the triangles as they were in the rectangle.
The average is 105.5. To find the average, you have to add up all numbers, 63+148=211. Now you have to divide by how many numbers there are, 211÷2=105.5
