Answer:

The expression that can be used to find the volume of the cardboard box is:

(4−2x)(2−2x)x

Step-by-step explanation:

A box without a top is made from a rectangular piece of cardboard, with dimensions 4 m by 2 m, by cutting out square corners with side length x.

i.e. the box is in the shape of a cuboid.

Now the volume of a box is same as the volume of a cuboid.

We know that the volume of a cuboid is given as:

Volume of cuboid=Length×Breadth×Height.

So, the length of the cuboid box is: 4-2x

and the width of the box is: 2-2x

Also, the height of box is: x

Hence, the volume of cuboid is:

$Volume=(4-2x)\times (2-2x)\times x\\\\Volume=(4-2x)(2-2x)x$

Hence, the expression for the volume of cuboid box is:

(4−2x)(2−2x)x

Answer:

12750

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence of visitors is

50, 100, 200, 400, .....

This is a geometric sequence

with common ratio r = 2

The sum to n terms is found using

$S_{n}$ = $\frac{a(r^n-1)}{r-1}$ ( a is the first term )

$S_{8}$ = $\frac{50(2^8-1}{2-1}$ = 50 × 255 = 12750

Area of a triangle with points at (-9,5), (6,10), and (2,-10)

Ann [662]

First we are going to draw the triangle using the given coordinates.
Next, we are going to use the distance formula to find the sides of our triangle.
Distance formula: $d= \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}$

Distance from point A to point B:
$d_{AB}= \sqrt{[6-(-9)]^2+(10-5)^2}$
$d_{AB}= \sqrt{(6+9)^2+(10-5)^2}$
$d_{AB}= \sqrt{(15)^2+(5)^2}$
$d_{AB}= \sqrt{225+25}$
$d_{AB}= \sqrt{250}$
$d_{AB}=15.81$

Distance from point A to point C:
$d_{AC}= \sqrt{[2-(-9)]^2+(-10-5)^2}$
$d_{AC}= \sqrt{(2+9)^2+(-10-5)^2}$
$d_{AC}= \sqrt{11^2+(-15)^2}$
$d_{AC}= \sqrt{121+225}$
$d_{AC}= \sqrt{346}$
$d_{AC}= 18.60$

Distance from point B from point C
$d_{BC}= \sqrt{(2-6)^2+(-10-10)^2}$
$d_{BC}= \sqrt{(-4)^2+(-20)^2}$
$d_{BC}= \sqrt{16+400}$
$d_{BC}= \sqrt{416}$
$d_{BC}=20.40$

Now, we are going to find the semi-perimeter of our triangle using the semi-perimeter formula:
$s= \frac{AB+AC+BC}{2}$
$s= \frac{15.81+18.60+20.40}{2}$
$s= \frac{54.81}{2}$
$s=27.41$

Finally, to find the area of our triangle, we are going to use Heron's formula:
$A= \sqrt{s(s-AB)(s-AC)(s-BC)}$
$A=\sqrt{27.41(27.41-15.81)(27.41-18.60)(27.41-20.40)}$
$A= \sqrt{27.41(11.6)(8.81)(7.01)}$
$A=140.13$

We can conclude that the perimeter of our triangle is 140.13 square units.

Use the figure to the right to find the missing lengths of the triangle.

pychu [463]

To find AB(x) and BC(y), you can do(there are multiple ways you can do this):

tan A = $\frac{y}{7}$

tan 60° = $\frac{y}{7}$ or (tan 60°) · 7 = y

tan 60° = $\frac{\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} }{ \frac{1}{2} } = \sqrt{3}$

√3 · 7 = y

7√3 cm = y

sin B = $\frac{7}{x}$

sin 30° = $\frac{7}{x}$ or $x= \frac{7}{sin 30}$

sin 30° = $\frac{\frac{1}{2} }{1}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$

x = $\frac{7}{\frac{1}{2} } = 14$

x = 14 cm

AB = 14cm

BC = 7√3 cm

How to solve: a parade traveled 4 miles in 2 hours. how far did tge parade travel per minute?

jek_recluse [69]

There's a really easy way to convert any units to other units.

Right now, we have the fraction (4 miles) / (2 hours).

We want to find a fraction that's exactly equal to that one,
but has the units of (miles/minute) or maybe (feet/minute).

Just take the original fraction, and multiply it by some other
fractions.

Each fraction you multiply it by must have the value of ' 1 ' so
you don't change the value of the original fraction. But it can
have different units, that cancel with other units to eventually
give you the units you want.

(4 miles / 2 hours) times (1 hour / 60 minutes)

The second fraction is equal to ' 1 ', because the top and the bottom
have the same value ... 1 hour is the same thing as 60 minutes.

Multiply the fractions: (4 miles x 1 hour) / (2 hour x 60 minutes)

Now you can cancel 'hour' from the top and the bottom, and you have

   (4 miles x 1) / (2 x 60 minutes)

   = (4 miles) / (120 minutes)

   = (4 / 120) mile/minute = 0.0333... mile / minute .

Let's do it again, go a little farther, and get an answer that
might mean more and feel more like an answer.

   (4 miles) / (2 hours) x (5280 feet / mile) x (1 hour / 60 minutes)

The 2nd and 3rd fractions both have the value of ' 1 ', because
the top is equal to the bottom.

Multiply all three fractions:

   (4 miles x 5280 feet x 1 hour) / (2 hours x 1 mile x 60 minutes)

You can cancel both 'mile' and 'hour' out of the top and bottom,
and look what you have left:

   (4 x 5280 feet x 1) / (2 x 1 x 60 minutes)

= (4 x 5280) / (2 x 60) feet / minutes

= (21,120 / 120) feet/minute =    176 feet per minute
