What is the equivalet fraction of 6 and 9ths?

The width of a triangle is six more than twice the height. The area of the triangle is 88in2. Find the height and base of the tr

malfutka [58]

For this case we have that by definition, the area of a triangle is given by:

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

Where:

b: It is the base of the triangle

h: It is the height of the triangle

According to the statement data we have:

$b = 6 + 2h$

Substituting we have:

$88 = \frac {(6 + 2h) * h} {2}\\176 = 6h + 2h ^ 2\\2h ^ 2 + 6h-176 = 0$

We divide between 2 on both sides:

$h ^ 2 + 3h-88 = 0$

We factor by looking for two numbers that, when multiplied, are obtained -88 and when added together, +3 is obtained.

These numbers are +11 and -8.

$(h + 11) (h-8) = 0$

We have two roots:

$h = -11\\h = 8$

We choose the positive value.

Thus, the base of the triangle is: $b = 6 + 2 (8) = 22$

Answer:

The base of the triangle is 22 units.

A rectangle box with a square base and no top needs to be made using 300ft^2 of material. Find the dimensions of the box with th

Yuri [45]

The dimensions of the box are 10 ft and 5 ft

The maximum volume is 500 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle box with

A square base and no top
It needs to be made using 300 ft² of material
It has greatest volume

Surface area of a box without top (SA) = perimeter of base × height + area of the base

Volume of a box (V) = base area × height

Assume that the length of the side of the square base is x and the height of the box is y

∵ It needs to be made using 300 ft² of material

∴ The surface area of the box is 300 ft²

∵ Its base is a square of side length x ft

∴ Perimeter of the base = 4 × x = 4 x

∴ Area of the base = x²

∵ The height of the box = y ft

∵ SA = perimeter of base × height + area of the base

∵ SA = (4x)(y) + x²

∴ SA = 4xy + x²

∵ SA of the box = 300 ft²

- Equate the two expressions of SA

∴ 4xy + x² = 300

Now let us find y in terms of x

- Subtract x² from both sides

∴ 4xy = 300 - x²

- Divide each term by 4x to find y

∴ $y=\frac{75}{x}-\frac{1}{4}x$

∵ V = area of the base × height

∴ V = x² × y = x²y

- Substitute y by the equation of it above

∴ $V=x^{2}(\frac{75}{x}-\frac{1}{4}x)$

∴ $V=75x-\frac{1}{4}x^{3}$

∵ The volume of the box is greatest

- That means differentiate V and equate it by 0

∵ $\frac{dV}{dx}=75-\frac{3}{4}x^{2}$

∵ $\frac{dV}{dx}=0$ ⇒ greatest volume

∴ $75-\frac{3}{4}x^{2}=0$

- Subtract 75 from both sides

∴ $-\frac{3}{4}x^{2}=-75$

- Divide both sides by $-\frac{3}{4}$

∴ x² = 100

- Take √ for both sides

∴ x = 10

Substitute the value of x in the equation of y

∵ $y=\frac{75}{10}-\frac{1}{4}(10)$

∴ y = 5

The dimensions of the box are 10 ft and 5 ft

∵ $V=75x-\frac{1}{4}x^{3}$

∵ x = 10

∴ $V=75(10)-\frac{1}{4}(10)^{3}$

∴ $V=750-\frac{1}{4}(1000)$

∴ V = 750 - 250

∴ V = 500 ft³

The maximum volume is 500 ft³

A box contains 10 green marbles and 11 white marbles. If the first marble chosen was a green marble, what is the probability of

Neko [114]

Answer:

11/20

Step-by-step explanation:

At the beginning, the number of marbles in the box are:

10 green marbles

11 white marbles

The first marble chosen is green, and then it is not replaced in the box. Therefore, the number of green marbles left in the box is 9.

Therefore, the total number of marbles left in the box is:

$n=9+11=20$

Now we want to find the probability to choose a white marble. The number of white marble is

$w=11$

Therefore, the probability of choosing a white marble is:

$p(w)=\frac{w}{n}=\frac{11}{20}$
