Alady wants to make an open-top box for packing baked goods by cutting equal squares from each corner of an 11 in. by 20 in. piece of cardboard as shown in the diagram. she figures that for versatility the area of the bottom must be 80 in. squared. what size of square should she cut from each corner?

Lets say she cuts squares of x by x in length.

Area of bottom will be (20 - 2x)(11 - 2x) = 80 inches squared

220 - 40x - 22x + 4x^2 = 80

4x^2 - 62x + 140 = 0

x^2 - 15.5x + 35 = 0

Using quadratic equation;

you get x = 2.743753901 0r 12.7562461 inches

The length of the square cannot be more than 11 inches

So the only squares you can cut are:

2.743753901 inches by 2.743753901 inches squares.

the answer is 200

step-by-step explanation:

the way the question is worded, it seems to imply the $264 interest is simple interest, not compound interest.

the simple interest for 2 years is $264; the simple interest for 1 year is $132.

$132 interest on a $600 investment means an interest rate of (132/600)*100 = 22%.

the value of $200 at 22% interest compounded annually for three years is

200%281.22%29%5e3

the amount of interest is that value, minus the original $200.

0.84 dang lotta people are looking for this lol or if you round up its 1 but the overall answer to that is 0.84
