Arectangular piece of cardboard measures 17cm by 14cm. strips of equal width are cut off one side and one end. the area of the remaining piece is 108cm². find the width of the strips removed pl

5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangular piece of cardboard is original of measurements 17 cm by 14 cm.

Let the width of the strips is x cm.

So, the new width and length of the cardboard will be (14 - x) cm and (17 - x) cm respectively.

Hence, the area of the new cardboard will be = (14 - x )(17 - x) = 108

⇒ 238 - 31x + x² = 108

⇒ x² - 31x + 130 = 0

⇒ x² - 26x - 5x + 130 = 0

⇒ (x - 26)(x - 5) = 0

⇒ x = 26 or x = 5

Now, x can not be greater than 14 cm.

Therefore, the width of the strips will be 5 cm. (Answer)

connie < felicia < stew

step-by-step explanation:

stew:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (2650-795)/(10-3)

    = 1855/7

connie:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

we have two points (0,0) and (4,800)

m = (800-0)/(4-0)

  m = 800/4
