2) The height of a square-based box is 4 cm more than the side length of its square base. If the volume of the box is 225 cm3, what are its dimensions? Be sure to state all possible solutions and state if / why any of the solutions are rejected. Use your knowledge of polynomial
equations to solve the question, do not guess and check.

C. 9.9 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

Area is given as 49 square inches.

The formula for area A =  

base is given as x

Height is given as x

Hence area is A

A =  

Multiplying 2 in both sides

Taking square root on both sides

hence the answer is x = 9.9 in   :  Answer

Hope it will help :)

The value of x is 9.9 in.

Solution:

The given image is a triangle.

Base of the triangle = x

Height of the triangle = x

Area of the triangle = 49 sq. in

To find the value of x:

Area of the triangle =  

Substitute the given values in the formula.

Multiply by 2 on both sides, we get

Taking square root on both sides, we get

⇒ x = 9.9 in

Hence the value of x is 9.9 in.
