Triangle ABC is circumscribed about Circle O. Use the diagram below to describe Point O.
Gwar [14]
Since this is an obtuse triangle, Point O is not equidistant from A, B, and C. Point O is not on the perpendicular bisectors, so the third statement is true. Point O is equidistant from AB, BC, and CA because these lines are pressed against the circpe in a mannered way.

A box with a rectangular base and open top must have a volume of 128 f t 3 . The length of the base is twice the width of base.
noname [10]

Answer:

Width = 4ft

Height = 4ft

Length = 8ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Volume = 128ft^3

L = 2W

Base\ Cost = \$9/ft^2

Sides\ Cost = \$6/ft^2

Required

The dimension that minimizes the cost

The volume is:

Volume = LWH

This gives:

128 = LWH

Substitute L = 2W

128 = 2W * WH

128 = 2W^2H

Make H the subject

H = \frac{128}{2W^2}

H = \frac{64}{W^2}

The surface area is:

Area = Area of Bottom + Area of Sides

So, we have:

A = LW + 2(WH + LH)

The cost is:

Cost = 9 * LW + 6 * 2(WH + LH)

Cost = 9 * LW + 12(WH + LH)

Cost = 9 * LW + 12H(W + L)

Substitute: H = \frac{64}{W^2} and L = 2W

Cost =9*2W*W + 12 * \frac{64}{W^2}(W + 2W)

Cost =18W^2 +  \frac{768}{W^2}*3W

Cost =18W^2 +  \frac{2304}{W}

To minimize the cost, we differentiate

C' =2*18W +  -1 * 2304W^{-2}

Then set to 0

2*18W +  -1 * 2304W^{-2} =0

36W - 2304W^{-2} =0

Rewrite as:

36W = 2304W^{-2}

Divide both sides by W

36 = 2304W^{-3}

Rewrite as:

36 = \frac{2304}{W^3}

Solve for W^3

W^3 = \frac{2304}{36}

W^3 = 64

Take cube roots

W = 4

Recall that:

L = 2W

L = 2 * 4

L = 8

H = \frac{64}{W^2}

H = \frac{64}{4^2}

H = \frac{64}{16}

H = 4

Hence, the dimension that minimizes the cost is:

Width = 4ft

Height = 4ft

Length = 8ft

How do how you cross cancel multiplying fractions
DENIUS [597]

It's easy once you spot the ones that can cross cancel!

Say we have the fractions 8/10 and 20/23. \frac{8}{10} \frac{20}{23} (it's easier to see on top of each other)

If you look diagonally , so 8 and 23 and 10 and 20, you can see that 10 and 20 have a common factor. So we divide it by the highest common factor to reduce those numbers, making it easier to multiply. 10 and 20 can become 1 and 2, dividing by 10. So now we are left with 8/1 and 2/23, and now we multiply normally going across so 16/23.

This works going both diagonals and simplifying both, but in that case it would be easier to try and simplify the fractions before cross multiplying them.

Basically: look for those diagonals and if they can be divided down by the highest common factor, go for it to make it easier to multiply normally afterwards.

Hope I helped!
