The area of the parallelogram is 55 square feet

<h3>How to determine the area of the parallelogram?</h3>

From the figure, we have the following dimensions:

Height = 5 ft

Base = 11 ft

The area of the parallelogram is calculated as:

Area = Base * Height

This gives

Area = 5ft * 11ft

Evaluate the product

Area = 55 square feet

Hence, the area of the parallelogram is 55 square feet

A box is being created out of a 15 inch by 10 inch sheet of metal. Equal-sized squares are cutout of the corners, then the sides

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Therefore the dimensions of the square should be 0.1528 inch by 0.1528 inch so, the box has largest volume.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A box is being created out of a 15 inches by 10 inches sheet of metal.

The length of the one side of the squares which are cut out of the each corners of the metal sheet be x.

The length of the metal box be = (15-2x) inches.

The width of the metal box be =(10-2x) inches

The height of the metal box be =x inches

Then, the volume of the metal box= length×width×height

=(15-2x)(10-2x)x cubic inches

=(150x-50x²+4x³) cubic inches

∴ V= 4x³-50x²+15x

Differentiating with respect to x

V'=12x²-100x+15

Again differentiating with respect to x

V''=24x-100

For maximum or minimum value, V'=0

12x²-100x+15=0

Apply quadratic formula $x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ , here a=12, b= -100 and c=15

$x=\frac{-(-100)\pm\sqrt{(-100)^2-4.12.15}}{2.12}$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{100\pm\sqrt{9280}}{2.12}$

$\Rightarrow x=0.1528,8.18$

For x= 8.18, The value of (15-2x) and (10-2x) will negative.

∴x=0.1528 .

Now, $V''|_{x=0.1528}=24(0.1528)-100$

∴At x=0.1528 inch, the volume of the metal box will be maximum.

Therefore the dimensions of the square should be 0.1528 inch by 0.1528 inch so, the box has largest volume.

Arlo invested $4000 in an account that earns 5.5% interest, compounded annually. The formula for compound interest is A(t)=P(1+i

$\bf ~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} \quad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill &\$4000\\ r=rate\to 5.5\%\to \frac{5.5}{100}\dotfill &0.055\\ n= \begin{array}{llll} \textit{times it compounds per year}\\ \textit{annually, thus once} \end{array}\dotfill &1\\ t=years\dotfill &4 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=4000\left(1+\frac{0.055}{1}\right)^{1\cdot 4}\implies A=4000(1.055)^4\implies A\approx 4955.2986$

A store manager is marking down chess boards from $25 to $14. What percentage is the discount?

Alborosie

Remember: when calculating percent it will always be over 100. With the given numbers 14 is your part out of the total (25). It should be written as part/whole.

As previously said, the percent is always over 100. (x/100)

In this problem you are given the part (14) and the whole (25). So it would be 14/25. The percent in this problem would be x/100. Now to find percent with the given part/whole, you would multiply 14 with 100. Then simply divide by 25.
