Answer: 2 inches, 3 inches, or 3.125 and 2.083
Explanations:
The simplest way is to take 20% of the 2.5 inches and go that much above & below 2.5 inches.
2.5 x 20% = 2.5 x 0.20 = 0.5
So 2.5 - 0.5 = 2 inches was predicted
And 2.5 + 0.5 = 3 inches was predicted.
The more complicated way is to see number + 20% of that number = 2.5, and what number - 20% = 2.5.
Which solution sounds more like what you’re doing in class right now?
If it’s the more complicated way:
0.8x = 2.5 (80% of the predicted rain value equals 2.5)
x = 3.125 inches was predicted
1.2x = 2.5 (120% of the predicted rain value equals 2.5)
x = 2.083 inches was predicted
Sorry, this is probably confusing. Let me know what questions you have.
Answer: A 24 cm piece of string is cut into two pieces , one piece is used to form a circle and the other piece is used to form a square.
How should this string be cut so that the sum of the areas is a minimum .
:
Let x = the circumference of the circle
then
(24-x) = the perimeter of the square
:
Find the area of the circle
find r
2*pi*r = x
r =
Find the area of the circle
A =
A =
A = sq/cm, the area of the circle
:
Find the area of the square
A = sq/cm the area of the square
The total area
At = +
Graph this equation, find the min
Min occurs when x=10.6 cm
cut string 10.6 cm from one end

Answer:
x=4 Inch
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of the Square = 24 Inches
If a Square of Length x cm is cut out from each corner
Length of the Box = 24-x-x=(24-2x) Inches
Width of the Box =24-x-x=(24-2x) Inches
Height of the box = x inches
Volume of a Cuboid = Length X Width X Height
V(x)= x(24-2x)(24-2x)
Simplifying
V(x)=4x(12-x)(12-x)
To determine the value of x at which V is largest, we take the derivative of V(x) and solve for the critical points.
V(x)=4x(12-x)(12-x)
Set the derivative equal to zero to obtain the critical points
x cannot be equal to 12 as it divides the length of the square cardboard into exactly two equal parts.
When x=4
V(4)=4*4(12-4)(12-4)=16*8*8=1024 Cubic Inches
When x=4 Inch, the volume, V of the open box is largest.
