They lost 20 games, 20/75 which is .26666667 rounded and put into a percent would be 27%

If they won 55 of the games, that means they lost the rest of the 75.  So,
75 - 55 = 20 games lost.  To find the percentage of 20 out of 75, you set up a proportion:

\frac{20}{75}=\frac{x}{100}

where x = the percentage of games lost.  Cross multiply and divide to isolate the x:

\frac{20}{75}=\frac{x}{100}\\75x=2000\\75x/75=2000/75\\x=26.6666667

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the Royals lost 26.667 % of their games.

Check the picture below.  Recall, is an open-top box, so, the top is not part of the surface area, of the 300 cm².  Also, recall, the base is a square, thus, length = width = x.

\bf \textit{volume of a rectangular prism}\\\\&#10;V=lwh\quad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;l = length\\&#10;w=width\\&#10;h=height\\&#10;-----\\&#10;w=l=x&#10;\end{cases}\implies V=xxh\implies \boxed{V=x^2h}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;\textit{surface area}\\\\&#10;S=4xh+x^2\implies 300=4xh+x^2\implies \cfrac{300-x^2}{4x}=h&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\boxed{\cfrac{75}{x}-\cfrac{x}{4}=h}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;V=x^2\left( \cfrac{75}{x}-\cfrac{x}{4} \right)\implies V(x)=75x-\cfrac{1}{4}x^3

so.. that'd be the V(x) for such box, now, where is the maximum point at?

\bf V(x)=75x-\cfrac{1}{4}x^3\implies \cfrac{dV}{dx}=75-\cfrac{3}{4}x^2\implies 0=75-\cfrac{3}{4}x^2&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{3}{4}x^2=75\implies 3x^2=300\implies x^2=\cfrac{300}{3}\implies x^2=100&#10;\\\\\\&#10;x=\pm10\impliedby \textit{is a length unit, so we can dismiss -10}\qquad \boxed{x=10}

now, let's check if it's a maximum point at 10, by doing a first-derivative test on it.  Check the second picture below.

so, the volume will then be at   \bf V(10)=75(10)-\cfrac{1}{4}(10)^3\implies V(10)=500 \ cm^3

Prove that the figure is a parallelogram. If so, classify the parallelogram. Be specific and justify your answer.
sesenic [268]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If it is a parallelogram the opposite sides will a have the same slope.

Using the diagram  we see from the coordinates of A and B:

Slope of AB = (5 - -1)/(-1 - -5)

= 6/4

= 3/2.

In the same way

slope of CD = (2 - -4) / (1 - -3)

= 3/2.

So AB and  CD can be shown to be parallel.

Similarly the lines BC and AD are parallel.

So the figure is a parallelogram

Finding the perimeter (counting the units between the points):

Perimeter = 2AB + 2BC

By Pythagoras:

AB =   sqrt (6^2 + 4^2) = sqrt 52

BC = sqrt (3^2 + 2^2) = sqrt 13

So Perimeter = 2sqrt52 + 2sqrt13

= 4sqrt13 + 2 sqrt13

= 6sqrt13

or 21.63 unit^2 to 2 decimal places.

Area = sqrt52 * perpendicular distance between the lines AB and CD.
