Answer: 2 inch dimension will give smallest increase.


Step-by-step explanation:

Length = 3 in

width = 2 in

height = 6 in

Extra cardboard  means to find surface area

on doubling the length

length = 6 In

width = 2 In

Height = 6In

Surface area for the above dimensions = 2 [ 6x2+2x6+6x6] = 120 sq in

On doubling the width

length = 3 in

width = 4 in

Height = 6 inch

Surface area for the above dimensions= 2 [ 3x4+4x6+6x3] = 2[54] = 108 sq inches

On doubling height

Length =3 in

width = 2 in

Height = 12 in

Surface area for above dimensions = 2 [ 3x2+2x12+12x3] = 2[6+24+36] = 132 sq inch

On doubling width surface area is minimum.

Find the equation of the line<br> That is perpendicular to y=-2x+1 and contains the point (8,2)
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

y=.5x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

If one line is perpendicular to another that means that their slopes are negative reciprocals

which means that the slope (or m in y=mx+b) is .5

so far we have

y=.5x+b

to solve for b we plug in (8,2)

2=.5(8)+b

2=4+b

-2=b

therefore our equation is

y=.5x-2
