Question is not complete, so i have attached it.
Answer:
Length = 30 inches
Width = 22 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width of rectangular sheet be x inches.
Let the length of the sheet be (x + 8) inches.
Now, after she cuts 4 inches squares from each corner, she will get a box of length: x + 8 - 4 - 4 = x inches , width: (x - 8) inches and height 4 inches.
Now, volume of a cube is;
V = lwh
Thus;
V = x(x - 8)(4)
We are told that the volume of the box is 2640 in³
Thus;
x(x - 8)(4) = 2640
Divide both sides by 4 to get;
x(x - 8) = 660
x² - 8x - 660 = 0
Using quadratic formula, we have;
x = 30 or - 22.
We will use x = 30 as the other one is negative.
Since we earlier deduced that she will get a box of will get a box of length: x inches , width: (x - 8) inches
Thus,
Length = 30 inches
Width = 30 - 8 = 22 inches
