The length of each of its parallel side are 30 cm and 40 cm.

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

Perimeter of parallelogram = 140 cm.
The one side of parallelogram = x cm.
The other side of parallelogram = x+10 cm.

Perimeter of a parallelogram = 2 (base+height)

⇒ 140 = 2(x+x+10)

⇒ 140 = 2(2x+10)

⇒ 140 = 4x+20

⇒ 4x = 120

⇒ x = 120/4

x = 30 cm

∴ The longer side = 30+10 = 40 cm

How did business leaders in the late nineteenth century utilize vertical integration? a. They maintained control of the raw mate

Business leaders in the late nineteenth century utilized vertical integration by maintaining control of production and distribution of their products.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation: </u>

Vertical integration is a competitive strategy that gives the company full control over one or more stages of product production or distribution. Rockefeller tirelessly tried to take full control of business 'oil refinery'. While other business people were flooding the area in search of quick fortune, Rockefeller was thinking of destroying his rivals and creating a real monopoly in the refining industry.

Looking for even more control, Rockefeller saw the benefits of organizing the transportation to his products. Then, he began to develop his business through vertical integration, in which the company analyses all aspects of the product life cycle, from raw material extraction, through the production process, to the final delivery of the product.

Other industrialists quickly followed, including Gustavus Swift, who at the end of the 19th century used vertical integration to dominate the American meat packaging industry.

HELP! 20 POINTS

guajiro [1.7K]

Work problems are solved by first figuring out how much of the job they can do in each hour. Shawn can do 1/4 of the job in an hour and Ellie can do 1/6 of the job in an hour. 1/6+1/4=2/12+3/12=5/12. This means that they can do 5/12 of the job an hour. This means that together they can do the job in 2 2/5 hours. The foreman is obviously wrong because first of all Shawn can do it alone in 4 hours, so with Ellie he will do it faster, and second of all 2 2/5<5. Hope this helped!

the height h(t) of a trianle is increasing at 2.5 cm/min, while it's area A(t) is also increasing at 4.7 cm2/min. at what rate i

Answer:

The base of the triangle decreases at a rate of 2.262 centimeters per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

From Geometry we understand that area of triangle is determined by the following expression:

$A = \frac{1}{2}\cdot b\cdot h$ (Eq. 1)

Where:

$A$ - Area of the triangle, measured in square centimeters.

$b$ - Base of the triangle, measured in centimeters.

$h$ - Height of the triangle, measured in centimeters.

By Differential Calculus we deduce an expression for the rate of change of the area in time:

$\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{db}{dt}\cdot h + \frac{1}{2}\cdot b \cdot \frac{dh}{dt}$ (Eq. 2)

Where:

$\frac{dA}{dt}$ - Rate of change of area in time, measured in square centimeters per minute.

$\frac{db}{dt}$ - Rate of change of base in time, measured in centimeters per minute.

$\frac{dh}{dt}$ - Rate of change of height in time, measured in centimeters per minute.

Now we clear the rate of change of base in time within (Eq, 2):

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{db}{dt}\cdot h = \frac{dA}{dt}-\frac{1}{2}\cdot b\cdot \frac{dh}{dt}$

$\frac{db}{dt} = \frac{2}{h}\cdot \frac{dA}{dt} -\frac{b}{h}\cdot \frac{dh}{dt}$ (Eq. 3)

The base of the triangle can be found clearing respective variable within (Eq. 1):

$b = \frac{2\cdot A}{h}$

If we know that $A = 130\,cm^{2}$ , $h = 15\,cm$ , $\frac{dh}{dt} = 2.5\,\frac{cm}{min}$ and $\frac{dA}{dt} = 4.7\,\frac{cm^{2}}{min}$ , the rate of change of the base of the triangle in time is:

$b = \frac{2\cdot (130\,cm^{2})}{15\,cm}$

$b = 17.333\,cm$

$\frac{db}{dt} = \left(\frac{2}{15\,cm}\right)\cdot \left(4.7\,\frac{cm^{2}}{min} \right) -\left(\frac{17.333\,cm}{15\,cm} \right)\cdot \left(2.5\,\frac{cm}{min} \right)$

$\frac{db}{dt} = -2.262\,\frac{cm}{min}$

The base of the triangle decreases at a rate of 2.262 centimeters per minute.
