Answer:

The maximum number of 76-pound boxes that can be loaded in the elevator is:

  • <u>26 boxes</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the maximum lift capacity is 2000 pounds and each box is identical (meaning there are no heavier or lighter boxes) than 76 pounds, the number of boxes can be identified by the following equation:

  • The maximum number of boxes = maximum lift capacity / weight per box.

Whereby replacing the values we get:

  • Maximum number of boxes = 2000 pounds / 76 pounds
  • <u>Maximum number of boxes = 26.3158 boxes</u>

Since the boxes are represented by integers, <u>the maximum number of boxes that can be loaded into the elevator at one time is 26</u>.

36°<br> Diagram NOT<br> accurately drawn<br> Work out the size of angle y.
vovikov84 [41]
The angles in a isosceles triangle add up to 180 degrees.
so 180 degrees take away 36 degrees = 144 degrees.
base angles in a isoceles triangle are equal so 144 divided by 2 = 72 degrees.
so to find out y you do 360 - 72 = 288 degrees
therefore y = 288degrees
