Kelly has a rectangular fish aquarium that measures 18 inches long, 8 inches wide, and 12 inches tall.
1 answer:
Answer:
a) The maximum amount of water the aquarium can hold is 1728 in³.
b) The cover has to be 624 in² big.
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The maximum volume of water that the aquarium can have is the same as the volume of the aquarium:
V=L×W×H=18 in × 8 in × 12 in= 1728 in³
b) The protective covering is used on the four walls of the aquarium. We have to find the areas of the four walls:
One of them is given by the multiplication of the width and the height:
A₁= W×H= 8 in × 12 in=96 in²
The other area is given by the multiplication of the length and the height:
A₂= L×H= 18 in × 12 in= 216 in²
As the fish aquarium is rectangular the area of the walls is given by:
=2×96 in²+2×216 in²=624 in²

Assume the parabola is placed on a graph where the x-axis is the top of the dish.
The vertex is then at (0,-30) The x-intercepts or zeros are at (-30,0) and (30,0)
The equation of such parabola would be:
Plug in vertex to find value of 'a'
