Answer 4

yea if i remember my teacher want me to make up an equation which tell the dimensions of the bos

Answer 5

Answer 9

Volume is length*width*height

See if you can work out expressions for the length, width, and height, from the diagram

Answer 10

ok so the length be (4x+4), width be (x+4)

Answer 11

agree?

Answer 12

Not close.

Answer 13

2x+4

Answer 14

Look at the diagram i just attached.

Answer 15

idk

Answer 16

There are three things shown on this diagram. How are you misreading it.

Answer 20

height = 4 cm
length = width = x-8

(x-8)(x-8)(4) = 484
x^2 -16 x + 64 = 121

x^2 - 16 x -57 = 0

(x-19)(x+3) = 0
x = 19
x = -3

Answer 21

@agent0smith

Answer 22

Wow. No. idk how you are misreading the diagram. The length is x, width is x, height is 4.

Answer 23

oh ok my bad let's be re-corrected then

Answer 24

me*

Answer 25

now I am getting
(x)(X)(4)=484
x^2 =121
x^2-121=0
(x-11)(x+11)=0
x=11
x=-11
