Answer:

Dimension of the box is 16.1\times 7.1\times 2.45

The volume of the box is 280.05 in³.

Step-by-step explanation:          

Given : The open rectangular box of maximum volume that can be made from a sheet of cardboard 21 in. by 12 in. by cutting congruent squares from the corners and folding up the sides.

To find : The dimensions and the volume of the box?

Solution :

Let h be the height of the box which is the side length of a corner square.

According to question,

A sheet of cardboard 21 in. by 12 in. by cutting congruent squares from the corners and folding up the sides.

The length of the box is L=21-2h

The width of the box is W=12-2h

The volume of the box is V=L\times W\times H

V=(21-2h)\times (12-2h)\times h

V=(21-2h)\times (12h-2h^2)

V=252h-42h^2-24h^2+4h^3

V=4h^3-66h^2+252h

To maximize the volume we find derivative of volume and put it to zero.

V'=12h^2-132h+252

0=12h^2-132h+252

Solving by quadratic formula,

h=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

h=\frac{-(-132)\pm\sqrt{132^2-4(12)(252)}}{2(12)}

h=\frac{132\pm72.99}{24}

h=2.45,8.54

Now, substitute the value of h in the volume,

V=4h^3-66h^2+252h

When, h=2.45

V=4(2.45)^3-66(2.45)^2+252(2.45)

V\approx 280.05

When, h=8.54

V=4(8.54)^3-66(8.54)^2+252(8.54)

V\approx -170.06

Rejecting the negative volume as it is not possible.

Therefore, The volume of the box is 280.05 in³.

The dimension of the box is

The height of the box is h=2.45

The length of the box is L=21-2(2.45)=16.1

The width of the box is W=12-2(2.45)=7.1

So, Dimension of the box is 16.1\times 7.1\times 2.45

Use the triangle below and the given trigonometric ratio to determine which angle in the triangle below is
4vir4ik [10]
Cosine is the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse.

In short, we have this equation
cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse

In the case of cos(A) = 18/19.5 we can see that
adjacent = 18
hypotenuse = 19.5

The side of 18 cm is next to angle 2, so the 18 cm side is adjacent to angle 2 (in contrast, the 7.5 cm side is the opposite leg in relation to angle 2)

So that's why the answer is angle 2
In other words, replace the '2' angle marker with 'A' to be able to write cos(A) = 18/19.5

Solve: 3n - 6 = -8(6 +5n)<br> and explain how to solve it
hjlf

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First use distributive property: a(b + c) = a*b + a*c

3n - 6 = -8(6 + 5n)

3n - 6 = 6 * (-8) + 5n *(-8)

3n - 6 = -48 - 40n

Now add 40n to both sides

3n - 6 + 40n = -48 - 40n + 40n

43n - 6 = -48

Now add 6 to both sides

43n - 6 + 6 = -48 + 6

           43n = -42

               n = -42 /43
