So, You cross multiply and get 56x=244(100). Simplify and you get 56x=24400. Divide each side by 56 and you get 435.71. 56% of about 435.71 is 244.
The volume of a triangular prism is V = 1/2 x a x c x h where a is height of the triangle, c is the base of the triangle and h is the height of the prism.
120 = 1/2 x a x c x h; we write a from the previous equation in terms of c and h thus,
a = 240 / ( c x h)
If the dimensions where halved then a = a/2 ; c = c/2 ; h=h/2
We use the volume formula again and substitute the given values to find the new volume,
V = 1/2 x a/2 x c/2 x h/2
Substitute the previously determined a term,
V = 1/2 x (240/2ch) x c/2 x h/2
We cancel and evaluate the constants therefore the new volume is,
V= 15 cm^3
8+(-10) is like 10-8 except backwards so how i do some problems is like that and then add a negative sign; so say if i were doing 8+(-10), i would do 10-8 which equals 2 and then since 10 is bigger than 8 and it’s a negative number, i would put -2 as my answer
Answer:
P is exactly 3km east from the oil refinery.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's d be the distance in km from the oil refinery to point P. So the horizontal distance from P to the storage is 3 - d and the vertical distance is 2. Hence the diagonal distance is:

So the cost of laying pipe under water with this distance is

And the cost of laying pipe over land from the refinery to point P is 400000d. Hence the total cost:

We can find the minimum value of this by taking the 1st derivative and set it to 0

We can move the first term over to the right hand side and divide both sides by 400000


From here we can square up both sides






d = 3
So the cost of pipeline is minimum when P is exactly 3km east from the oil refinery.
