Margie is packing 108 small boxes into a large carton. the small boxes will fill all of the space inside the large carton. Each

small box is 3 inches long 2 inches wide and 1 inch high. The width of the base, and the height of the large carton are the same. the length of the base is less then 36 inches. All of the dimensions are whole numbers. Explain how to find possible dimensions for the large carton.

2 inches wide
that means that the height of the large carton is 2 inches

find the volume of the carton
V=108 times volume of small box
V=108 times 1 times 2 time s3
V=648 in^2

height is 2
V=LWH
648=LW2    (note, this is not LW^2 but 2 times LW)
divie both sides by 2
324=LW
legnth of base is less than 36
div
we just need to find the values of legnth and width such that LW=324 and L<36 and that L or W is divisible by 3 (since each box is 3 inches long)

so lets factor 324
324=2*2*3*3*3*3
group them and find possible values for legnth and width less than 36 and divsible by 3
possible values

(L,W,H) possible values are
(27,12,2)
(18,18,2)



the possible dimentions are
27 by 12 by 2 or
18 by 18 by 2

Which equation has the components of 0 = x2 – 9x – 20 inserted into the quadratic formula correctly? x = x = x = x =
Ber [7]
To solve the quadratic equation given by 0=x^2-9x-20, we use the quadratic formula given by:
x=[-b+\- sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/(2a)
where,
a=1,b=-9,c=-20
thus substituting the above values into our formula we get:
x=[9+\-sqrt(9^2-4(-20*1))/(2*1)
x=[9+\-sqrt(161)]/2
x=[9+sqrt161]/2 or x=[9-sqrt161]/2

Solve 4/x-4=x/x-4-4/3 for x and determine if the solution is extraneous or not
4vir4ik [10]

<u>Answer:</u>

x = 4 (extraneous solution)

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

\frac { 4 } { x - 4 } = \frac { x } { x - 4 } - \frac { 4 } { 3 } \\ \frac { 4 } { x - 4 } - \frac { x } { x - 4 } = - \frac { 4 } { 3 } \\ \frac { 4 - x } { x - 4 } = - \frac { 4 } { 3 } \\ 3 ( 4 - x ) = - 4 ( x - 4 ) \\ 1 2 - 3 x = - 4 x + 1 6 \\ 4 x - 3 x = 1 6 - 1 2 \\ x = 4 \\

This solution is extraneous. Reason being that even if it can be solved algebraically, it is still not a valid solution because if we substitute back x=4, we will get two fractions with zero denominator which would be undefined.

Frank started out in his car travelling 45 mph. When Frank was 1 3 miles away, Daniel started out from the same point at 50 mph
oee [108]

Answer:

It will take 2.6 hours by Daniel to catch up with Frank.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Daniel will catch up with Frank after t hours.

Now, Frank will go 13 miles in \frac{13}{45} = 0.288 hours.

So, the distance traveled by Frank in (t + 0.228) hours with 45 mph speed will be equal to the distance traveled by Daniel in t hours with 50 mph speed.

Hence, 45(t + 0.288) = 50t

⇒ 5t = 13

⇒ t = 2.6 hours.

Therefore, it will take 2.6 hours by Daniel to catch up with Frank. (Answer)

Triangle L N M is shown. Angle L N M is a right angle. An altitude is drawn from point N to point O on side L M, forming a right
zaharov [31]

Answer:

Therefore the value of k = 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

LN = m

NM = l

OM = k

NO = 4

LO = 8

LM = 8 + k and

Δ LNM ,Δ LON and Δ MON are right Triangle.

To Find :

Om = k = ?

Solution:

In Right angle Triangle By Pythagoras Theorem we have,

(\textrm{Hypotenuse})^{2} = (\textrm{Shorter leg})^{2}+(\textrm{Longer leg})^{2}

So, In Right angle Triangle Δ LON we have,

LN² = ON² + OL²

m² = 4² + 8²

m² = 80   ............( 1 )

Now in  Right angle Triangle Δ MON we have,

MN² =  ON² + MO²

l² = 4² + k² ....................( 2 )

Now In Right angle Triangle Δ LNM we have,

LM² = LN² + MN²

(8 + k)² = m² + l² .................( 3 )

Substituting equation  1 and equation 2 in equation 3

(8+k)² = 80 + 4² + k²

Applying (A+B)² = A² +2AB + B² we get

64 + 16k+k^{2} = 80+ 16 +k^{2} \\\\16k=96\\\\\therefore k=\frac{96}{16} \\\\\therefore k=6

Therefore the value of k = 6.
