A rectangular piece of metal is 10 in longer than it is wide. Squares with sides 2 in long are cut from the four corners and the flaps are folded upward to form an open box. If the volume of the box is 1102in​^3, what were the original dimensions of the piece of​ metal?

Answers

Answer 1

The length and width of the piece of​ metal are 20 and 30 inches respectively.

What is volume?

The term “volume” refers to the amount of three-dimensional space taken up by an item or a closed surface. It is denoted by V and its SI unit is in cubic cm.

Dimension of the rectangle;

Width(w)

Length,L= 10 + w

volume of the box = length  * width * height

Dimension of the box;

length of box, (x + 10) - 4  = x + 6

width of box,(x - 4)

height of box =  2

The volume of the box is 1102 in³;

⇒V=lwh

⇒V=2 (x -4)( x + 6) =

⇒1102 in³ = 2x² + 4x - 48

⇒2x² + 4x - 880 = 0

⇒x  + 2x - 440 = 0

⇒(x + 22)(x - 20) = 0

⇒x = 20

⇒x=-22 (value of the dimesion will not be negative.

The width of an original piece of metal is;

Width,w=20 inches

length,l= 30 inches

Hence. the length and width of the piece of​ metal are 20 and 30 inches respectively.

The height of Canadian women was distributed normally with a mean of 161 cm

randomly will have a height that is between 158 cm and 163 cm.
Includes a sketch of the region under the curve below.
2014
b) The probability that a Canadian woman's height will be larger than x cm is 1%.
Determine x, to the nearest centimeter.

Answers

The probability of having a height that is between 158 cm and 163 cm is 0.69011 and the value of x is 169 centimeters

The probability of having a height that is between 158 cm and 163 cm

The given parameters are:

Mean = 161Standard deviation = 6

Calculate the z-scores at x = 158 and x = 163 using:

[tex]z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]z = \frac{158 - 161}{6} = -0.5[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{163 - 161}{6} = 0.33[/tex]

The probability is then represented as:

P(158 ≤ x ≤ 161) = P(-0.5 ≤ z ≤ 0.33)

Using the z table, we have:

P(158 ≤ x ≤ 161) =  0.69011

Hence, the probability of having a height that is between 158 cm and 163 cm is 0.69011

The value of x in the probability

The probability is represented as:

P(X ≥ x) = 1%

Express as decimal

P(X ≥ x) = 0.10

The z-score at p = 0.10 is:

z = 1.282

Substitute z = 1.282 in [tex]z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]1.282 = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

Make x the subject

[tex]x = 1.282\sigma + \mu[/tex]

Substitute values for standard deviation and mean

x = 1.282 * 6 + 161

Evaluate

x = 168.692

Approximate

x = 169

Hence, the value of x is 169 centimeters

Answers

Answer:

The graph has been moved 7 units to the left and 8 units down.

Step-by-step explanation:

When numbers are added directly to the "x" value, the graph shifts to the left. If negative numbers are added directly to the "x" value, the grap shifts to the right. Therefore, if there is a +7 directly altering the "x" value, the function shifts 7 units to the left.

When a number is added to the overall function, it shifts upwards. If this number is negative, the entire function shifts downwards. Therefore, if there is a -8 outside altering the function, then it has been shifted 8 units down.

Hi there !

Nonsense = Reported
Thank you​

Answers

Answer:

Hi! I think you are referring to the Pythagorean Theorem.

Essentially, given a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the shorter sides equals the square of the longer (slant) side or hypotenuse.

The formula is a squared + b squared = c squared

If the triangle has side lengths 3 and 4 (for the shorter sides), the longer side can be solved like this:

3 squared + 4 squared = x squared

(Let x =  the longer side)

3 squared = 9

4 squared = 16

9+16 = x squared

25 = x squared

x =  5

So there you go, that's the Pythagorean theorem.

When the vertex of an angle is at the center of a circle, its called a Central Angle. A central angle and the arc it "cuts off" have the same number of degrees.
