Answer:

The difference is 2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we identify the equation as given in the question;

y = 1.42105x - 32.2632

We need to know which of the two is the dependent variable i.e y-value and which is the independent variable x-value between the brothers' heights and the sisters' heights. To do this, we have to start with an assumption and check which of the two is for the brothers' or for the sisters,

Let's say the brothers' heights is x, we select any of the data points; (68,64)

we input this into the line of best fit equation; 64 =1.42105(68) - 32.2632 = 96.6314-32.2632= 64.3682

We can see the value on the left hand side of the equation correlates with that on the right hand side. This confirms our assumption that the brothers' heights refer to the independent variable x.

Now, let's plug the values for the 71 inches heights

y = 1.42105(71) - 32.2632 = 68.63 approximately 64

In the table, we can see that the predict sister height at that particular data point is 71 inches. The difference between the predicted height and the actual height is thus 71-69 = 2 inches

Pedro is building a playground in the shape of a right triangle he wants to know the area of the playground to help him decide h

shusha [124]

Answer:

Amount of sand=Area of triangle(ABC)=1/2*AB*BC

Dimension of rectangle as length=BC and breadth=AB

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Pedro building a playground in shape of right angled triangle.

To Find:

How much sand he need to buy

And if playground changed to rectangle what will be the dimensions.

Solution:

Consider a ΔABC be the play ground vertex of playground,

And AB and BC be the sides making right angle.

The sand required to fill ground will be the amount of are covered by the ABC triangle.

So,

Area Of triangle(ABC)=1/2* base* height

Here base will be BC and height =AB

Therefore Area of Triangle(ABC)=1/2*BC*AB

Depending on the lengths of base and height amount of sand will be decided.

Now,

For Rectangle dimensions,

We know that if same sized triangles composes each other forms a rectangle.

It requires two triangle to form one rectangle as follows

(Refer the attachment)

Same sized Triangle ACD is imposed on it to from rectangle ABCD.

So dimension for rectangle will be same as the triangle

Dimension=length and breadth

i.e. length=base of triangle=BC

Breadth=Height of triangle=AB

i.e Breadth =AB.

onsider the following problem: A box with an open top is to be constructed from a square piece of cardboard, 3 ft wide, by cutti

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

V (max) = 2 ft³

and x side of the base is x = 0,5 feet

Step-by-step explanation: See annex ( two different cubes)

We have a square piece of cardboard of 3 inches wide

Let x be lenght of side to cut in each corner

Then the base of the (future cube) is 3 - 2x, and the area is

( 3 - 2x )²

And the height is x Then volume of the cube as a function of x is:

V(x) = ( 3 - 2x )² *x or V(x) = ( 9 + 4x² - 12x )*x

V(x) = 4x³ - 12x² + 9x

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation

V´(x) = 12x² - 24x + 9

V´(x) = 0 12x² - 24x + 9 = 0 simplifying 4x² - 8x + 3 = 0

Second degree equation solving for x

x₁,₂ = [ 24 ± √( 576) - 432 /24

x₁,₂ = [24 ±√144 ]/24

x₁,₂ = ( 24 ± 12) /24 x₁ = 1.5 feet x₂ = 0,5 feet

Of these two values we have to dismiss x₁ because if x = 1.5 we don´t have a cube ( 0 height )

Then we take x = 0,5 feet

And

V (max) = (2)²*0,5 = 4*0,5

V (max) = 2 ft³
