SCORPION-xisa [38]3 years ago

Answer:

The least amount of dimensions would be using a 4ft x 4ft base.

Step-by-step explanation:

When looking to maximize area and minimize materials, a perfect square always does this. To prove the point, consider the 4 x 4 box in the answer to say a 16 x 1 box, which would have the same area.

The 4 x 4 box would have 4 sides each of 4 ft. Therefore, it would have 16 feet of sides to construct.

Meanwhile, there would be two sides on the other one that were 16 ft alone.

It is known that a cable with a​ cross-sectional area of 0.300.30 sq in. has a capacity to hold 2500 lb. If the capacity of the
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

0.84 square in

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the capacity of the cable is proportional to its​ cross-sectional area. If a cable that is 0.3 sq in can hold 2500 lb then per square inch it can hold

2500 / 0.3 = 8333.33 lb/in

To old 7000 lb it the cross-sectional area would need to be

7000 / 8333.33 = 0.84 square in

The area of a circle (A) is given by the formula A= pi*r to the second power, where r is the radius. The formula to find r is _.
podryga [215]

Answer:

<u>The correct option for the first blank is A. (A/pi) to the power of 1/2</u>

<u>The correct option for the second blank is A. 4.15</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the questions correctly:

Area of a circle (A) = π * r², where r = radius

2. The formula to find r is ________________:

A = π * r²

r² = A/π

√r² = √ A/π

r =  √A/π

<u>r =  A/π∧(1/2) or  (A/pi) to the power of 1/2. </u>

<u>The correct option for the first blank is A. (A/pi) to the power of 1/2</u>

3. if A = 54 centimeters squared, and pi = 22/7, r is _ centimeters.

We use the formula we got for the first blank, this way:

r =  (A/pi) to the power of 1/2

Replacing with the real values, we have:

r = (54/(22/7)) to the power of 1/2

r = 17.2 to the power of 1/2

r = √17.2 = 4.15 (Rounding to the next hundredth)

<u>The correct option for the second blank is A. 4.15</u>
