Answer:

Side of 22 and height of 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s be the side of the square base and h be the height of the tank. Since the tank volume is restricted to 5324 ft cubed we have the following equation:

V = s^2h = 5324

h = 5324 / s^2

As the thickness is already defined, we can minimize the weight by minimizing the surface area of the tank

Base area with open top s^2

Side area 4sh

Total surface area A = s^2 + 4sh

We can substitute h = 5324 / s^2

A = s^2 + 4s\frac{5324}{s^2}

A = s^2 + 21296/s

To find the minimum of this function, we can take the first derivative, and set it to 0

A' = 2s - 21296/s^2 = 0

2s = 21296/s^2

s^3 = 10648

s = \sqrt[3]{10648} = 22

h = 5324 / s^2 = 5324 / 22^2 = 11

A binomial distribution has the following properties;
1. There is a fixed number of trials.
2. Each trial is independent of the others.
3.Each trial has a constant probability of success.
4. There are only two possible outcomes, 'success' and 'failure'.

Statements B and D meet the requirements for the variable X to have a binomial distribution.

A 180 pound person is hanging onto a 15-foot rope. Assuming the rope is uniform and that it weighs 2 pound per foot, set up (but
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

The answer is "g= 32 FPS"

Step-by-step explanation:

Given value:

mass = 180\\\\length= 15 \\\\\lambda = \frac{ mass}{ length} = 2 \ \text{pound per foot} \\\\\bold{Formula}\\\\ \to w \int_{a}^{b} F \cdot d \ dx = \int_{0}^{15} (2x+180) \ g \ dx

by solving the value we get the value of g that is equal to 32.

IRINA_888 [86]
Find the area of the squares.
4 ×4 = 16

Find the area of the wall.
20 × 10 =200

Divide 200 by 16.
200 ÷ 16 = 12.5

You need 12.5 squares.

The foot of a ladder is placed 7 meters from a wall. If the top of the ladder rests 9 meters up on the wall, how long is the lad
nekit [7.7K]

We can find the length of the ladder by squaring the known digits, adding them, and finding the square root of the sum. This would mean our first equation, after squaring, will look like this:

49+81=130

Now that we have <em>c</em> squared, we can go through and find the approximate square root, which is 11.4. That would mean the ladder is 11.4 meters long.
