Answer:

No, if fit means that the sides of the book case need to be flush with the wall, which means that the sides of the bookcase are touching the wall and the bookcase fits perfectly in that spot

Step-by-step explanation:

A square room will have corners that meause 90°, so we need to see if any of the vertices of the bookcase measure 90°.  All right triangles have a 90° in them, so we can use Pythagorean Theorem to solve this.

 Pythagorean Theorem is  a² + b² = c²,    where a and b are the legs, and c is the hypotenuse.  Since the hypotenuse is always the longest side, for our bookshelf, 10 and 12 are the legs, and 18 would be the hypotenuse if it is a right triangle.   Plug the values in to see if the equation is true or false

10² + 12² = 18²

  100 + 144 = 324

     244 ≠ 324   so the bookcase does not form a right angle, and won't fit in the corner of the room

What is the best approximation for the perimeter of a semicircle with a dimeter of 12cm?
taurus [48]
Answer is choice B: the circumference of a circle is the same as perimeter and is defined by πd (or pi times diameter) We can cut this in half because we are working with a semicircle: so we have 6π which approximates to the value in answer when using 3.14 for pi Woops: forgot to add the diameter of 12 so we would have 30.84

Given: f(x) = 3x2 + 2x – 1
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

84

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 3x^2 + 2x – 1

Let x=5

f(5) = 3(5)^2+2(5) -1

     = 3*25 +10-1

    = 75+10 -1

    = 85 -1

A company sells widgets. The amount of profit, y, made by the company, is related to the selling price of each widget, x, by the
defon

Answer:

Price of widget to break even= $37.9

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the equation representing the amount of profit, y, made by the company, in relation to the selling price of each widget, x is;

y = -8x² + 348x - 1705

Now, the company will break even when it has made no profit. That is when, y = 0

Thus;

0 = -8x² + 348x - 1705

Rearranging,

8x² - 348x + 1705 = 0

Using quadratic formula ;

x = [-b ± √(b² - 4ac)]/2a

x = [-8 ± √(-348² - 4•1•1705)]/(2 x 8)

x = $5.63 or $37.87

We'll use $37.87 because it is the highest price for which no profit is made, and higher price means that we could sell least number of products to earn a certain amount of money.

We are told to approximate to nearest cent. Thus,

Price of widget = $37.87 ≈ $37.9
