Complete Question

An open box is formed from a rectangular piece of cardboard that is 5 in. longer than it is wide, by removing squares of side 4 in. from each corner and folding up the sides. If the volume of the carton is then 336 in³, what were the dimensions of the original piece of cardboard?

Select one:

a. 15 in. by 20 in.

b. 7 in. by 12 in.

c. 11 in. by 16 in.

d. 19 in. by 24 in.

a. 15 in. by 20 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that:

An open box is formed from a rectangular piece of cardboard that is 5 in longer than it is wide, by removing squares of side 4 in from each corner and folding up the sides.

Volume of the carton = 336 in³

Step 1

We find the area of the new piece of the cardboard

Volume of the carton/side of the square removed

= 336 in³/4 in

= 84 in²

Step 2

An open box is formed from a rectangular piece of cardboard that is 5 in longer than it is width.

Length = 5 + Width

Hence, we find the factors of 84 in² that has a difference of 5 in

Factors of 84 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 28, 42 and 84

Hence, the Factors with a difference of 5 inches = 7 and 12

The Length = 12 inches

Width is 7 inches.

The dimensions of the new piece of cardboard is 7 inches by 12 inches

Step 3

What were the dimensions of the original piece of cardboard?

Remember in the question, we are told that squares of sides 4 inches were removed from both corners

Hence,

4 inches + 4 inches = 8 inches was removed.

The dimensions of the original piece of cardboard =

Original Width = Width of the new cardboard + 8 inches

= 7 inches + 8 inches

= 15 inches.

Original length = Length of the the new cardboard + 8 inches

= 12 inches + 8 inches

= 20 inches.

Therefore, the dimensions of the original piece of cardboard is 15 inches by 20 inches

Answer from: Quest

the answer is (-8,-5)

step-by-step explanation:

the endpoint to midpoint is half the length. the length is (-2,-1) so when you are at the midpoint just add it to it to find your answer -6+(-2)= -8 and -4+(-1)=-5 so (-8,-5)

You drop a rubber ball off the roof of a 50 meter high building onto a paved parking lot. it bounces back up with every bounce, but not quite all the way back up to you. after the first bounce it bounces back only 80 percent of the distance it was dropped from. the pattern continues, meaning after every bounce it comes up to just 80 percent of the previous maximum height. so if before the first bounce the height is 50 meters, what height does the ball reach after the fifth bounce? round your answer to one decimal place and chose the correct response from the choices below:
