A cereal company is creating new boxes for its product. In order to display the boxes, the stores they sell to require that the

boxes be 11.5 inches high and no longer than 8.4 inches. The printing department requires exactly 272.8 square inches of space in order to use the planned design that covers the box. If the company wishes to maximize the length of the box, then what should be the width of the box?

If the problem says "space", that usually means that they are talking about volume. The maximum length the box can be is 8.4 inches. To find volume, you do length * width * height. You know the length and height, as well as the volume. You can replace the width with "x". Your equation should be:

11.5 * 8.4 * x = 272.8

Then you can just solve for x by dividing both sides by (11.5 * 8.4). The answer should be about 2.82 inches.

Which of the following is true?
Ratling [72]

In this question, we're trying to find the inequality that is true.

To find your answer, we can convert the numbers in the absolute value:

|−5| < 4:

5 < 4 <em>false</em>

|−4| < |−5|:

4 < 5 <em>true </em>

|−5| < |4|

5 < 4 <em>false</em>

|−4| < −5

4 < -5 <em>false</em>

The only true inequality here would be |−4| < |−5|, since it works with the inequality sign.

Answer:

|−4| < |−5|

Find the angle between the given vector in degrees. u=&lt;6, 4&gt;, v=&lt;7, 5&gt; HELPPPPPPPPPP
Paladinen [302]

Recall that

\vec a\cdot\vec b=\|\vec a\|\|\vec b\|\cos\theta

where \theta is the angle between the vectors \vec a,\vec b whose magnitudes are \|\vec a\|,\|\vec b\|, respectively.

We have

\langle6,4\rangle\cdot\langle7,5\rangle=\sqrt{6^2+4^2}\sqrt{7^2+5^2}\cos\theta

\cos\theta=\dfrac{31}{\sqrt{962}}\implies\theta\approx88.2^\circ

3a+5b/3c-5d =3a -5b/3c- 5d​
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

-30bc + 50bd

Step-by-step explanation:

3a + 5b/3c - 5d = 3a - 5b/3c - 5d

(3c - 5d)(3a - 5b) = (3a + 5b)(3c - 5d)

9ca - 15bc - 15da + 25db = 9ac - 15ad + 15bc - 25bd

9ca -15bc - 15da + 25db - 9ac + 15ad - 15bc + 25bd

9ca and -9ac and -15da and 15ad cancel each other out, so

-30bc + 50db is left
