Answer:

4in. square x 4in. square x 1in. square

Step-by-step explanation:

By cutting out identical squares (considering 'x') from each corner and bending up the resulting flaps

The dimensions we have will be (see attachment for the figure)

V= (6-2x) (6-2x) x

As, Volume'V' = length (l) x width(w) x height(h)

V= (6x- 2x²)(6-2x)

V= 36x - 12x²-12x²+ 4x³

V=4x³ - 24x²+ 36x

Next is to find dV/dx,therefore we find the derivative and and set it to zero for the maximum volume

dV/dx = 12x² - 48x + 36

setting it to zero

12x² - 48x + 36 =0

x² - 4x + 3=0

x² -3x -x + 3=0

x(x-3) -1(x-3)=0

Either : x-3=0=> x=3

OR : x-1 =0 => x=1

Now, notice that 'x' cannot be 3 , because if  we cut 3 inch squares out of the original square, there  will be nothing left!

Also,  the volume will be 0 then. That  is the minimum volume, 0, when we cut all the tin away.

So, x=1

Therefore,

height 'x' = 1in. square

length and width = (6-2x) => 4in. square

Answer:

Side WZ=9

Step-by-step explanation:

Since he two are similar you need to make a ratio of the two parallelograms

The first tells you side FE is 2 and side EH is 3 so write it like this 2/3.

Next you need to do the same thing with the second parallelogram, so you know side XW is 6 but you don't know side WZ so you'd write this one 6/x.

You can do this since FE is similar to XW, because it is the same shape just bigger.

Next you take the two fractions adn set them equal to each other.

2       6

_   =  _

3       x

Now cross multiply (2 timesx and 6 times 3)

It should look like this now

2x=18

Now all you have to do is divide by 2.

A right triangle has…?
bearhunter [10]
Answer: C and D

Explanation:

Is it A? No, because a right triangle does not have all three sides with equal length. Only in a equilateral triangle will have all three equal sides of equal length.

Is it B? No, because a triangle has ZERO parallel lines. Remember parallel lines are like this | | in a triangle the lines are like this /\

Is it C? Yes, because a triangle has two sides of equal length, meaning it has two congruent sides.

Is it D? Yes, a right triangle has two sides that create the 90 degrees making it a right triangle. Perpendicular means that theirs two lines creating the 90 degree and a triangle has two perpendicular sides.
