Answer:

a = length of the base = 2.172 m

b = width of the base = 1.357 m

c = height = 4.072 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we want to build a rectangular storage container with open top whose volume is 12 cubic meters. Assume that the cost of materials for the base is 12 dollars per square meter, and the cost of materials for the sides is 8 dollars per square meter. The height of the box is three times the width of the base. What’s the least amount of money we can spend to build such a container?

lets call a = length of the base

b = width of the base

c = height

V = a.b.c = 12

Area without the top:

Area = ab + 2bc + 2ac

Cost  = 12ab + 8.2bc + 8.2ac

Cost = 12ab + 16bc + 16ac

height = 3.width

c = 3b

Cost = 12ab + 16b.3b + 16a.3b = 12ab + 48b² + 48ab = 48b² + 60ab

abc = 12 → ab.3b = 12 → 3ab² = 12 → ab² = 4 → a = 4/b²

Cost = 48b² + 60ab = 48b² + 60b.4/b² = 48b² + 240/b

C(b) = 48b² + 240/b

C'(b) = 96b - 240/b²

Minimum cost: C'(b) = 0

96b - 240/b² = 0

(96b³ - 240)/b² = 0

96b³ - 240 = 0

96b³ = 240

b³ = 240/96

b³ = 2.5

b = 1.357m

c = 3b = 3*1.357 = 4.072m

a = 4/b² = 2.172m

What number does x stand for in this equation?<br> -7X + 6= 27
Levart [38]

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

-7X + 6= 27

Subtract 6 from each side

-7x +6-6 = 27 -6

-7x = 21

divide each side by -7

-7x/-7 = 21/-7

x = -3

Write a two-step equation involving division and addition that has a solution of x=25
zavuch27 [327]
If this is what you mean..?

In order to do this you would work backward from the answer.
You have x = 25 and ant to include and addition. As we are working backwards, we use the opposite operation to addition - subtraction. We'll make it an easy number so we will subtract 15 to get to 10.
So far it looks like 10 = 15 + x
Now, to include  a division, we want to do the opposite again, multiplication. Pick any number to multiply 10 by - for this example we'll choose 7.
7 x 10 = 70
Now we can write out the equation -
70/7 + 15 = x
No brackets are required as Division comes before addition in BIDMAS.


An alternate choice would be to have x the other side of the '='

To do this, multiply x by a number of choice (for example 3) to make the divison section of the equation. This makes 75. This can be written as a fraction. 75/x = 3
Next, for the addition, whatever happens on one side, the exact same happens on the other. Pick any number to add on (e.g. 5) and re-write the equation.
75/x + 5 = 8

Sorry if this doesn't make perfect sense

Suppose you are given information about a triangle according to SSS, SAS, and ASA. For which of these can you immediately use th
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

SSS and SAS

Step-by-step explanation:

Law of cosines: The law of cosines is used for calculating one side of a triangle when the angle opposite and the other two sides are known.

If the information about a triangle according to SSS, SAS and ASA is given, then we will immediately use SSS and SAS  by using the law of cosines to find one of the remaining measures because Law of cosines is applied if we know one angle opposite and the other two sides.

Also, in ASA, we know two angles and one side, thus we cannot use Law of cosines in this, rather Law of sines can be accurately use in this case.

if you have two sides, encroaching an angle, then the Law of Cosines can be used to find a missing side, thus SAS will work fine for that, now, if you have no angles given, but you know all sides, you can use the Law of Cosines as well, by solving it for the angle, and get the angles, on which case, SSS will do... .now as far as ASA, if you have two angles and one side known, then... that's not very workable for the law of cosines

Convert the ratio 56: 80 to a percentage
zysi [14]
Change the ratio into a fraction

56:80  is the same as 56/80

Divide, make it a decimal

56/80 = 0.7

0.7 = 7/10 or 70/100

70/100 = 70%

70% is your answer

hope this helps
