 <span>To minimize the perimeter you should always have a square. 
sqrt(289) = 17 
The dimensions should be 17 X 17 

To see , try starting at length 1, and gradually increase the length. 
The height decreases at a faster rate than the length increases, up until you reach a square. 

Or if you want to use algebra, Say the width is 17-x 
Then the length is 289/(17-x) 

Now, this is bigger than 17+x, as shown here: 
289/(17-x) > 17+x 
289 > 289 - x^2 
which is true. 
so the perimeter would be bigger than 2 * (17- x + 17 + x) = 2 * (2 * 17) = 4 * 17 

Again, the dimensions should be a square. 17 X 17.</span>

When multiplying fractions just multiply the numerator and denominators together, then simplify the fraction you get.

To solve the addition problem, first convert 2 and 1/2 to an improper fraction. It should be 5/2. Now 3/8 and 5/2 must be added together.

To add these, they must have the same denominator. Let's give 5/2 a denominator of 8, so it matches 3/8.

To give 5/2 a denominator of 8, you are starting with a denominator of 2. 2 × 4 = 8, so you must multiply 5/2 by 4.

You should get 20/8. Now you have to add 20/8 and 3/8. The only thing you add is the numerator, so you should get 23/8 as a final answer.

For the subtraction problem, do these same steps to make the fractions you must subtract have the same denominator, then subtract only the numerator to get the answer. Once you solve the subtraction problem, text me what you got so I can check it for you. :)

A prism has a trapezoid as its base whose area is 140 square centimeters. A cylinder with the same height has a radius of 6 cent
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

difference in volume = 26.96h cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a prism is the product of the base area and the height. A trapezoid prism has a trapezium as the base shape. Therefore,

volume of a trapezoid prism = area of a trapezium × height

area of the base(trapezoid) = 140 cm²

Volume = 140h

Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

where

r = radius

h = height

volume = πr²h

volume = π × 6² × h

volume = 3.14 × 36 × h

volume = 113.04h

To know how much larger the volume of the prism is than the volume of the cylinder we have to take the difference of the volume.

Recall the height are the same

difference in volume = 140h - 113.04h

difference in volume = 26.96h cm³
