Answer to Problem 11P

The value of x is 1.3899 m.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The total surface area of the rectangular solid = 36 m2.

The given figure is:

Algebra and Trigonometry: Structure and Method, Book 2, Chapter 7.2, Problem 11P

Calculation:

The total surface area of the rectangular solid is given by

  SA=2((2x×x)+(x×(x+2))+(2x×(x+2)))=2(2x2+x2+2x+2x2+4x)=10x2+12x

Substitute 36 for SA .

  36=10x2+12x10x2+12x36=0

The solution of the given equation is obtained by using the quadratic formula.

For a quadratic equation in the form of ax2+bx+c=0 , the solution of this equation is given by

  x1,2=b±b24ac2a

Comparing the given equation with the standard quadratic equation, the coefficients are:

  a=10b=12c=36

Substituting these in the formula for the roots.

First take the positive sign.

  x1=(12)±(12)24×10×(36)2×10=12±144+144020=12±39.79920=1.3899,2.5899

The dimension cannot be negative.

The value of x is 1.3899 m.

Therefore, the value of x is 1.3899 m.
