When the dimensions of a cube are reduced by 4 inches on each side, the surface area of the new cube is 864 square inches. What where the dimensions of the original cube?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The dimensions of the original cube are 16 in x 16 in x 16 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the length side of the original cube

The surface area of the cube is equal to

[tex]SA=6b^2[/tex]

where

b is the length side of the cube

we know that

The dimensions of a cube are reduced by 4 inches on each side and the surface area of the new cube is 864 square inches

so

The length side of the new cube is

[tex]b=(x-4)\ in[/tex]

substitute in the formula of surface area

[tex]SA=6(x-4)^2[/tex]

[tex]SA=864\ in^2[/tex]

so

[tex]6(x-4)^2=864[/tex]

Simplify

[tex](x-4)^2=144[/tex]

take square root both sides

[tex](x-4)=(+/-)12[/tex]

[tex]x=4(+/-)12[/tex]

[tex]x=4(+)12=16\ in[/tex]

[tex]x=4(-)12=-8\ in[/tex] ----> the length side cannot be a negative number

therefore

The dimensions of the original cube are 16 in x 16 in x 16 in

Answer 2
Final answer:

To find the dimensions of the original cube, set up an equation using the surface area of the new cube and solve for the original side length.

Explanation:

To find the dimensions of the original cube, we need to work backwards.

First, let's find the surface area of the original cube. If we reduce each side of the cube by 4 inches, the new side length would be 'x-4'. The surface area of the new cube is given as 864 square inches. So we have the equation: (x-4)^2 = 864 Solving this equation, we find that the side length of the original cube is 22 inches.

We notice from the choices, that the problem is solved using the Pythagorean theorem somehow. How?

If ABC was a right triangle, the hypotenuse would be BC (the largest side), so the right angle would be A.

In that case we would have 54 squared (which equals 2916) equal to the sum of the squares of 22 and 51 (which equals 3085).

If the triangle was a right triangle, [tex]22^2+51^2[/tex] would be exactly equal to [tex]54^2[/tex], but it is larger. This means that a right angle is not large enough to 'enclose' [tex]22^2+51^2[/tex]. Thus angle A must be opened more that 90°.

Thus the answer is D:

Step-by-step explanation:

edge 2021

The y-intercept of the given graph is (0,4).

What is  y-intercept?

The y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects the y-axis.

Given a graph, where a straight line is intersecting x-axis at -2 and y-axis at 4.

So, x-intercept = (-2,0)

y-intercept = (0,4)

You are heating liquid in a chemistry lab. Four minutes ago, the temperature of the liquid was -4 degrees Celsius. Since then, it has been going up at a steady rate of 2 degrees per minute.
A. Write an equation that tells you the relationship between temperature and time at any given time. Designate the current time as 0.
B.Use your equation to predict the temperature of the liquid 15 minutes from now.

Answers

The rate of temperature rise is 2 degrees/minute.

The relation between temperature and time is of the form
y = 2x + b
where
x = time, minutes,
y = temperature, Celsius

When x = -4 min, y = - 4°C because the temperature was - 4°C 4 minutes ago. Currently, x = 0.
Therefore
-4 = 2(-4) + b
-4 = - 8 + b
4 = b

Part A
The relation is y = 2x + 4

Part B
When x = 15 (15 minutes from now), the temperature will be
y = 2(15) + 4 = 34°C

Answer: 34°C

R=5(CA−0.3) solve for c

Answers

Final answer:

To solve the equation R=5(CA−0.3) for C, divide both sides by 5, add 0.3 to both sides and then divide by A.

Explanation:

To solve the equation R = 5(CA - 0.3) for C, you would first divide both sides of the equation by 5 to isolate the (CA - 0.3) term on one side:

R / 5 = CA - 0.3

Next, you would add 0.3 to both sides of the equation to get CA by itself:

(R / 5) + 0.3 = CA

Finally, to solve for C, you would divide the entire equation by A, assuming A is not zero:

C = [(R / 5) + 0.3] / A

A game normally cost $53.00, but Isabel used a coupon and got the game for $37.10. The coupon was for what percent off.

Answers

We could use the numbers and the difference of the original cost - the end price in a equation.

53 × x/100 = 15.9

Cross multiply 100 × 15.9.

53x=1590

Divide both sides by 53.

How many 1760 got in 4710

Answers

4710 divided by 1760
The answer is 2.671

"The correct answer is 2.675.

To find out how many times 1760 is contained within 4710, we simply divide 4710 by 1760:

[tex]\[ \frac{4710}{1760} = 2.675 \][/tex]

This means that 1760 is contained exactly 2 times in 4710 with a remainder.

The decimal part (0.675) represents the fraction of the third 1760 that is not complete.

To express this as a fraction, we can write 0.675 as [tex]\(\frac{675}{1000}\),[/tex] which can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 125, giving us [tex]\(\frac{5.4}{8}\) or \(\frac{27}{40}\)[/tex] when expressed in lowest terms. Therefore, 4710 contains 2 complete sets of 1760 and a partial set equivalent to [tex]\(\frac{27}{40}\)[/tex] of 1760."

Lateral surface area--

The lateral surface area of a solid ( i.e. a three dimensional object) is the area of all the sides of the solid excluding the area of the base as well as top of the solid.

If r is the radius of the cone and s is the slant height of the cone then the lateral surface area of the cone is given by the formula:
