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.

Find each measurement. Assume that each figure is not drawn to scale.
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

1) 2 1/4 inches (2.25)

2) 5.3 millimeters

3) X=10 and YZ=60

Step-by-step explanation:

Number 1, you just add the measurements because n and q is the start and end of the line segment.

Number 2, you are given the whole measurement, and you know FG which is 9.7, so you subtract the 15 (whole measurement) by 9.7, which is 5.3.

Number 3, you know that XY and YZ equal XZ, so 8x+1 would equal 81. Do the math, you would get 8x=80 and then x=8. Now you know x, plug it in for 6x, so 6(10)=60.

Simplify a^2-3a/a^3-8a^2+12a to lowest terms
svetoff [14.1K]

In order to simplify a fraction, we have to find a common factor in both numerator and denominator. So, let's start by factor the expressions completely: at the numerator we have

a^2-3a = a(a-3)

At the denominator we have

a^3-8a^2+12a = a(a^2-8a+12) = a(a-2)(a-6)

So, the fraction can be written as

\dfrac{a(a-3)}{a(a-2)(a-6)}

You can see that there is a factor a in common, that can be simplified:

\dfrac{a(a-3)}{a(a-2)(a-6)} = \dfrac{a-3}{(a-2)(a-6)}

Pls pls pls pls pls pls pls
tamaranim1 [39]

For some reason, the value of "w" is not supplemented into the equation, which is weird, but whatever. I will answer the problem for you.

The answer you are looking for is -5.

Solution/Explanation:

Writing out the expression first

-7/3x+y²

Substituting the given values of the variables, only "x" and "y"

-7/3(6)+(-3)²

Simplifying

(-7/3)(6)=-14

(-3)²=9

So, we will come up with -14+9.

This simplifies to -5.

So, therefore, the final answer to this problem is -5.

Hope this helped answer your question for you. Good day to you.
