Answer:

The scale factor is equal to \frac{1}{2} or 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:  

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its volumes is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube

Let

z-----> the scale factor

z^{3}=\frac{45}{360}= \frac{1}{8}\\ \\z=\sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{8}}\\ \\z=\frac{1}{2}

Find the dimensions of an open rectangular box with a square base that holds 2000 cubic cm and is constructed with the least bui
Vesnalui [34]
<h3>The dimensions of the given rectangular box are:</h3><h3>L  =   15.874 cm  , B  =  15.874 cm   , H = 7.8937 cm</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the dimension of the square base = S x S

Let us assume the height of the rectangular base = H

So, the total area of the open rectangular box  

= Area of the base +  4 x ( Area of the adjacent faces)

=  S x S  +  4 ( S x H)   = S² +  4 SH   ..... (1)

Also, Area of the box  = S x S x H  =  S²H

⇒ S²H = 2000

\implies H = \frac{2000}{S^2}

Substituting the value of H in (1), we get:

A = S^2 + 4 SH =  S^2 + 4 S(\frac{2000}{S^2}) =  S^2 + (\frac{8000}{S})\\\implies A  =  S^2 + (\frac{8000}{S})

Now, to minimize the area put :

(\frac{dA}{dS} ) = 0 \implies 2S  - \frac{8000}{S^2}  = 0\\\implies S^3 = 4000\\\implies S  = 15.874 \approx 16 cm

Putting the value of S  = 15.874 cm in the value of H , we get:

\implies H = \frac{2000}{S^2}  =  \frac{2000}{(15.874)^2} = 7.8937 cm

Hence, the dimensions of the given rectangular box are:

L  =   15.874 cm

B  = 15.874 cm

H = 7.8937 cm

Calculate the Zscore of $80
gayaneshka [121]
The Z-score (z) is calculated according to the formula: z = (x - μ) / σ

Where: x is the raw score value, μ is the mean of the population, σ is the standard deviation of the population.

x = 80, μ = 5, σ = 4

z = (80 - 5) / 4

z = 75 / 4 = 18.7500

Z-score is 18.7500

Show me how much to shade
Gnoma [55]
If you're talking about inequality graphs, you shade the area where any point in the shaded area can solve the inequality, if I remember correctly. I can't exactly show you how much to shade.
