Answer:

Dimensions 30 in x 30 in x 15 in

Surface Area = 2,700 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'r' be the length of the side of the square base, and 'h' be the height of the bin. The volume is given by:

V=13,500=h*r^2\\h=\frac{13,500}{r^2}

The total surface area is given by:

A=4*hr+r^2

Rewriting the surface area function as a function of 'r':

A=4*\frac{13,500}{r^2} *r+r^2\\A=\frac{54,000}{r}+r^2

The value of 'r' for which the derivate of the surface area function is zero, is the length for which the area is minimized:

A=54,000*r^{-1}+r^2\\\frac{dA}{dr}=0= -54,000*r^{-2}+2r\\\frac{54,000}{r^2}=2r\\ r=\sqrt[3]{27,000}\\r=30\ in

The value of 'h' is:

h=\frac{13,500}{30^2}\\ h=15\ in

The dimensions that will ensure the minimum surface area are 30 in x 30 in x 15 in.

The surface area is:

A=4*15*30+30^2\\A=2,700\ in^2

Tamika makes a 5.5% commission selling electronics. How much commission does she make if she sells a flat-screen TV for $10,000?
strojnjashka [21]

Answer: She makes $550

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because to find the answer you do 10000t imes 5.5%

And 5.5% is 0.055

So you do 10000 times 0.055

Which is 550

The price of a watch was increased by 7% to £1350. What was the price before the increase? Give your answer to the nearest penny
frutty [35]

Answer:

1261.68

Step-by-step explanation:

1350 = the increased watch price= 107% of the original

1350= 1.07x

1261.68224299

Check:

7% of 1261.68224299 is 88.317757

1261.68224299 + 88.317757 = 1349.9 = 1350

Round:

1261.68224299  

To the penny= to the hundreth= 1261.68

Explain how to perform a​ two-sample z-test for the difference between two population means using independent samples with known
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

The steps 1-7 have been explained

Step-by-step explanation:

The steps are;

1) We will verify that the population standard deviations are known and that the population is normally distributed which means the sample size must be a minimum of 30.

2) We will state the null and alternative hypothesis

3) We will determine the critical values from the relevant tables

4) From the critical values gotten, we will determine it's corresponding region where it can be rejected.

5)We will calculate the value of the test statistic from the formula;

z = [(x1' - x2') - (μ1 - μ2)]/√[((σ1)²/n1) + ((σ2)²/n2)]

6) If the value of the test statistic gotten from step 5 above falls in the region of rejection noted in step 4,then we will reject the null hypothesis

7) After rejection of the null hypothesis, we will now give a decision/conclusion on the claim.

In engineering, equilateral triangles can support the most weight and so are commonly found in the design of bridges and buildin
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

60°

Step-by-step explanation:

Am equilateral triangle is a triangle that has all its sides and angles equal. Note that an equilateral triangle has 3 sides and angles.

Let the angles be a, b and c

The sum of angle in a triangle is 180°, hence;

a+b+c = 180°

Since a = b = c

The equation becomes;

a+a+a = 180°

3a = 180

a = 180/3

a = 60°

Hence the measure of the angles of an equilateral triangle is 60° for the three angles.

What is the value of x in the equation <br> -5/8x=-160?
Helen [10]

Answer:

x= 1/256

Step-by-step explanation:

1. multiply both sides by 8x (answer: -5= 8x*-160)

2. divide both sides by -160 (answer: -5/-160 or 1/32 =8x)

3. divide both sides by 8 (answer: 1/256 = x

4. check your answer: -5/(8*1/256)= -160
