Answer:

The dimension of the box is 17.66 in by 7.66 in by 2.67 in.

Therefore the volume of the box is 361.19 in^3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the dimensions of a cardboard is 23 in by 13 in.

Let the side of the square be x in.

Then the length of the box= (23-2x) in

and the width of the box =(13-2x) in

and height = x in.

The volume of the box is = length ×width × height

                                         =[(23-2x)(13-2x)x] in^3

                                         =(299x-72x² +4x^3) in^3

∴V=299x-72x² +4x³

Differentiating with respect x

V'= 299-144x+12x²

Again differentiating with respect x

V''= -144+24x

To find the dimensions, we set V'=0

∴299-144x+12x²=0

Applying Sridharacharya formula that is the solution of a quadratic equation ax²+bx+c is x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Here a=12, b=-144 , c=299

\therefore x=\frac{-(-144)\pm\sqrt{(-144)^2-4.12.299}}{2.12}

\Rightarrow x= 9.33, 2.67

If  we take x=9.33 in, then the width of the box [13-(2×9.33)] will negative.

∴x = 2.67 in

If at x = 2.67, V''<0 , then the volume of the box will be maximum or V''>0 then volume of the box will be minimum.

V''|_{x=2.67}=-144+(24\times 2.67)=-79.92

Therefore  at x = 2.67, the volume of the box maximum.

The length of the box =[23-(2×2.67)] in

                                    =17.66 in

The width of the box =[13-(2×2.67)] in

                                  =7.66 in

The height of the box= 2.67 in

The dimension of the box is 17.66 in by 7.66 in by 2.67 in.

Therefore the volume of the box is =(17.66×7.66×2.67) in^3

                                                            =361.19 in^3

WORTH 50 points pls answer.<br> The two polygons are similar. Find the values of x and y
Digiron [165]

Answer:

y = 120

x = 10.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given polygons are parallelograms.

In parallelograms, consecutive angles are supplementary which means their sum is equal to 180.

Since two parallelograms are similar:

60 + y = 180 subtract 60 from both sides

y = 120

To find the value of x:

side lengths are proportional because these are similar polygons

\frac{x+4}{22} = \frac{12}{18} cross multiply fractions

18x + 72 = 264 subtract 72 from both sides

18x = 192 divide both sides by 18

x = 10.6 approximately

Saul decides to use the IQR to measure the spread of the data. Saul calculates the IQR of the data set to be 27.
padilas [110]

Answer:

78

Step-by-step explanation:

The IQR is quartile 3 - quartile 1. First, we need to find the mean of the dataset, which is 50 -- the fifth number. Then, the median of the dataset on the left of the fifth number is the first quartile, and the median of the dataset on the right is the third. We get Q1 to then be halfway between 30 and 50, or 40, and Q3 to be halfway between 56 and n, so Q3 = (56+n)/2. Since we need Q3-Q1=27, or (56+n)/2-40=27, we have (56+n)/2=67 and 56+n=134, so n = 134-56=78

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

1. x = 67.5

2. x = 2.5

3. x = 35.2

4. x = 2.0

5. x = 17.0

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1

The proportion is set up in the form x/9 = 15/2. Multiply both sides by two to get rid of the two in the denominator on the right side. After doing so, multiply by 9 on both sides to get rid of the 9 in the denominator on the left:

2x/9 = 15

2x = 9(15)

Next solve for x:

2x = 135

x = 67.5

Question 2

The proportion is set up in the form 20/8.7 = 5.8/x. Multiply both sides by the second denominator, x, and then both sides by the first, 8.7. This will leave you with the work below:

20x/8.7 = 5.8

20x = 8.7(5.8)

Next, solve for x:

20x = 50.46

x = 2.523

Round to the nearest tenth:

x = 2.5

Question 3

The proportion is set up in the form 5/16 = 11/x. Multiply both sides by the second denominator, x, and then both sides by the first, 16. This will leave you with the work below:

5x/16 = 11

5x = 11(16)

Next, solve for x:

5x = 176

x = 35.2

Question 4

The proportion is set up in the form x/0.06 = 17/0.5. Multiply both sides by the second denominator, 0.5, and then both sides by the first, 0.06. This will leave you with the work below:

0.5x/0.06 = 17

0.5x = 17(0.06)

Next, solve for x:

0.5x = 1.02

x = 2.04

Round to the nearest tenth:

x = 2.0

Question 5

The proportion is set up in the form 29/x = 75/44. Multiply both sides by the second denominator, 44, and then both sides by the first, x. This will leave you with the work below:

29(44)/x = 75

29(44) = 75x

Next, solve for x:

1276 = 75x

x = 17.0133

Round to the nearest tenth:

x = 17.0
