Area under ALL probability distribution curves is 1.0, because all possible outcomes are taken into account.
Part I
We have the size of the sheet of cardboard and we'll use the variable "x" to represent the length of the cuts. For any given cut, the available distance is reduced by twice the length of the cut. So we can create the following equations for length, width, and height.
width: w = 12 - 2x
length: l = 18 - 2x
height: h = x
Part II
v = l * w * h
v = (18 - 2x)(12 - 2x)x
v = (216 - 36x - 24x + 4x^2)x
v = (216 - 60x + 4x^2)x
v = 216x - 60x^2 + 4x^3
v = 4x^3 - 60x^2 + 216x
Part III
The length of the cut has to be greater than 0 and less than half the length of the smallest dimension of the cardboard (after all, there has to be something left over after cutting out the corners). So 0 < x < 6
Let's try to figure out an x that gives a volume of 224 in^3. Since this is high school math, it's unlikely that you've been taught how to handle cubic equations, so let's instead look at integer values of x. If we use a value of 1, we get a volume of:
v = 4x^3 - 60x^2 + 216x
v = 4*1^3 - 60*1^2 + 216*1
v = 4*1 - 60*1 + 216
v = 4 - 60 + 216
v = 160
Too small, so let's try 2.
v = 4x^3 - 60x^2 + 216x
v = 4*2^3 - 60*2^2 + 216*2
v = 4*8 - 60*4 + 216*2
v = 32 - 240 + 432
v = 224
And that's the desired volume.
So let's choose a value of x=2.
Reason?
It meets the inequality of 0 < x < 6 and it also gives the desired volume of 224 cubic inches.
Answer:
(A)
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard form of the equation of a circle is given as:

Simplifying the above given equation, we get




which is the required general form of the equation.
Hence, option A is correct.
Answer:
2 square cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
A square is inscribed in a circle whose radius is r = 1 cm
Therefore, the diameter of the circle is 2 r = 2 x 1
= 2 cm.
So the diagonal of the square is 2r.
Using the Pythagoras theorem, we find each of the side of the triangle is
.
Therefore, the area of the square is given by 
= 



Hence the area of the largest square that is contained by a circle of radius 1 cm is 2 cm square.
