Tyler’s family is using a shipping trailer that is 5 feet tall, 4 feet wide, and 12 feet long to load boxes of apples in. Each b

ox the apples are packed in has to have a volume of 5184 in3. Help design a box that will fill the trailer with no wasted space, and meet the volume requirements.

Answer:

Tyler’s family is using a shipping trailer that is 5 feet tall, 4 feet wide, and 12 feet long.

Volume of the box = 5184 cubic inches

Total volume of trailer will be :

5(12)\times4(12)\times12(12)

=> 60\times48\times144 = 414720 cubic inches (1 feet = 12 inches)

Number of boxes that will fill this space =

414720/5184 = 80 boxes

We know the volume formula: L x W x H = 5184          

Here, L should divide into 12 (144 inches) evenly.

W should divide 4 (48 inches) evenly.

H should divide 5 (60 inches) evenly.

To solve for dimensions, lets suppose W= 24 inches

As L x W x H = 5184

So, L x H = 5184/24=216

L x H = 216

Let us make H = 12 inches then we get L=18 inches

As stated above;

L=18 goes into 144 evenly by 8 times

H=12 goes into 60 evenly by 5 times

And W=24 goes into 48 evenly by 2 times  

And also 8\times5\times2=80 boxes

So, these are one of the possible solutions to this question.

Hello.

To get the volume 5184 in3 you can use the dimension 18in x 24in x 12in.

First, you should draw a picture of your shipping container. It is a rectangular prism that is 5 by 12 by 4.

Next, let's look at the boxes of apples that will go into the box. The volume has to be 5184 in^3. If we divide it by 12 and 12, the answer is 3. Therefore, we could make a box that is 1 foot by 1 foot by 3 feet. 

Those boxes would be stack on the base without any left over space. Now, just figure out how many would go on the next rows. They would be able to stand up and down.

Have a nice day.

Find the distance between P1(4,16degrees) and P2(-2,177degrees) on the polar plane.
bazaltina [42]
Polar coordinates give the distance from the origin and the angle from the positive x axis. Cartesian coordinates give the distance from the x and y axes.

You can draw a right triangle with these values. (see attached)
If you know the r value and theta of that triangle below, you can use trig to find x and y.

Let's convert (4, 16°) to Cartesian coordinates.

Note that since our angle is acute, (in Quadrant I) our sine and cosine will both be positive, as you should be able to derive from the unit circle, where cosine is represented as an x value and sine is represented as a y value.

cosine = adjacent / hypotenuse
cosθ = x/r
cos(16°) = x/4
4cos(16°) = x ≈ 3.84504678375

sine = oppsite / hypotenuse
sinθ = y/r
sin(16°) = y/4
4sin(16°) = y ≈ 1.10254942327<span>

So (4, 16°) </span>⇒ (3.84504678375, 1.10254942327).

Let's convert (-2, 177°)  to Cartesian coordinates.
Whenever you have a negative radius, that means to put the point opposite where it would have been if it had a positive radius. (see attached)

In that case, we can essentially add 180° to our current 177° to the same effect. That means that (-2, 177°) = (2, 357°).

Note that since our angle is in Quadrant IV, our cosine will be positive, but our sine will be negative. (as derived from the unit circle) We don't have to worry about this since our calculator figures this for us, but you should pay attention to it if you are converting from Cartesian to polar.

cosine = adjacent / hypotenuse
cosθ = x/r
cos(357°) = x/2
2cos(357°) = x ≈ 1.99725906951

sine = opposite / hypotenuse
sinθ = y/r
sin(357°) = y/2
2sin(357°) = y ≈ -0.10467191248

So (-2, 177°) ⇒ (1.99725906951, -0.10467191248).

Now we must use the distance formula with our two points.
d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}
d\approx\sqrt{(1.99725906951-3.84504678375)^2+(-0.10467191248-1.10254942327)^2}
d\approx\sqrt{-1.84778771^2+-1.20722134^2}
d\approx\sqrt{3.41431942+1.45738336}
d\approx\sqrt{4.87170278}
\boxed{d\approx2.20719342}

The local swim team is considering offering a new semi-private class aimed at entry-level swimmers, but needs a minimum number o
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The significance level is \alpha=0.01 and since we are conducting a right tailed test we need to find a critical value who accumulate 0.01 of the area in the right of the normal standard distribution and we got:

z_{\alpha/2}= 2.326

So we reject the null hypothesis is z>2.326

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we define the random variable X as the number of entry-level swimmers and we are interested about the true population mean for this variable . On specific we want to test this:

Null hypothesis: \mu \leq 15

Alternative hypothesis: \mu > 15

And the statistic is given by:

z =\frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

The significance level is \alpha=0.01 and since we are conducting a right tailed test we need to find a critical value who accumulate 0.01 of the area in the right of the normal standard distribution and we got:

z_{\alpha/2}= 2.326

So we reject the null hypothesis is z>2.326
