Answer:

24 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The 10 mile distance of interest is 8 times the 1.25 mile distance that corresponds to 3 inches. Hence 10 miles will correspond to 8 times 3 inches, or 24 inches.

ANSWER

7.5

----------------------------

How i got it?

We can use our scale 3:10 and the actual distance of 25 km to find the number of centimeters.

If the kilometers are 2.5 times as long, then we also need to multiply the centimeters by 2.5

3 x 2.5 = 7.5

The number of centimeters on the map that represents an actual distance of 25 kilometers is 7.5, centimeters.

Gray can ride his bike 6miles in 20 minutes at this rate how many miles can he ride in 100 minutes

oksano4ka [1.4K]

30. Since he can ride the bike 6 miles in 20 mins, and 100 divided by 20 is 5, the answer would be given to you by multiplying 5x6, which is 30. So he can travel 30 miles in 100 minutes.

A box designer has been charged with the task of determining the surface area of various open boxes (no lid) that can be constru

Viktor [21]

Answer:

1) $S = 2\cdot w\cdot l - 8\cdot x^{2}$ , 2) The domain of S is $0 \leq x \leq \frac{\sqrt{w\cdot l}}{2}$ . The range of S is $0 \leq S \leq 2\cdot w \cdot l$ , 3) $S = 176\,in^{2}$ , 4) $x \approx 4.528\,in$ , 5) $S = 164.830\,in^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The function of the box is:

$S = 2\cdot (w - 2\cdot x)\cdot x + 2\cdot (l-2\cdot x)\cdot x +(w-2\cdot x)\cdot (l-2\cdot x)$

$S = 2\cdot w\cdot x - 4\cdot x^{2} + 2\cdot l\cdot x - 4\cdot x^{2} + w\cdot l -2\cdot (l + w)\cdot x + l\cdot w$

$S = 2\cdot (w+l)\cdot x - 8\cdpt x^{2} + 2\cdot w \cdot l - 2\cdot (l+w)\cdot x$

$S = 2\cdot w\cdot l - 8\cdot x^{2}$

2) The maximum cutout is:

$2\cdot w \cdot l - 8\cdot x^{2} = 0$

$w\cdot l - 4\cdot x^{2} = 0$

$4\cdot x^{2} = w\cdot l$

$x = \frac{\sqrt{w\cdot l}}{2}$

The domain of S is $0 \leq x \leq \frac{\sqrt{w\cdot l}}{2}$ . The range of S is $0 \leq S \leq 2\cdot w \cdot l$

3) The surface area when a 1'' x 1'' square is cut out is:

$S = 2\cdot (8\,in)\cdot (11.5\,in)-8\cdot (1\,in)^{2}$

$S = 176\,in^{2}$

4) The size is found by solving the following second-order polynomial:

$20\,in^{2} = 2 \cdot (8\,in)\cdot (11.5\,in)-8\cdot x^{2}$

$20\,in^{2} = 184\,in^{2} - 8\cdot x^{2}$

$8\cdot x^{2} - 164\,in^{2} = 0$

$x \approx 4.528\,in$

5) The equation of the box volume is:

$V = (w-2\cdot x)\cdot (l-2\cdot x) \cdot x$

$V = [w\cdot l -2\cdot (w+l)\cdot x + 4\cdot x^{2}]\cdot x$

$V = w\cdot l \cdot x - 2\cdot (w+l)\cdot x^{2} + 4\cdot x^{3}$

$V = (8\,in)\cdot (11.5\,in)\cdot x - 2\cdot (19.5\,in)\cdot x^{2} + 4\cdot x^{3}$

$V = (92\,in^{2})\cdot x - (39\,in)\cdot x^{2} + 4\cdot x^{3}$

The first derivative of the function is:

$V' = 92\,in^{2} - (78\,in)\cdot x + 12\cdot x^{2}$

The critical points are determined by equalizing the derivative to zero:

$12\cdot x^{2}-(78\,in)\cdot x + 92\,in^{2} = 0$

$x_{1} \approx 4.952\,in$

$x_{2}\approx 1.548\,in$

The second derivative is found afterwards:

$V'' = 24\cdot x - 78\,in$

After evaluating each critical point, it follows that $x_{1}$ is an absolute minimum and $x_{2}$ is an absolute maximum. Hence, the value of the cutoff so that volume is maximized is:
