Segment addition with variables

Mathematics
1 answer:
oksian1 [2.3K]2 years ago
4 0

<em>x equals 22</em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

____________________________________________

The Segment Postulate states the following:

<em>Given two end points A and B, a third point C lines on the segment AB if and only if the distances between the points satisfy the equation:</em>

\overline{AB}=\overline{AC}+\overline{CB}

____________________________________________

From the figure:

\overline{AC}=8+x \\ \\ \overline{CB}=10 \\ \\ \overline{AB}=40

Our goal is to find x:

\overline{AB}=\overline{AC}+\overline{CB} \\ \\ Substituting \ values: \\ \\ 40=(8+x)+10 \\ \\ 18+x=40 \\ \\ Subtracting \ 18 \ from \ both \ sides: \\ \\ 18-18+x=40-18 \\ \\ \boxed{x=22}

16 divided by 1/8 minus 1
elena-s [515]
16 divided by 1/8 - 1

first, you would make 16 into a fraction, making the new equation 16/1 divided by 1/8 -1. you'd then flip 1/8 to 8/1 making the new equation 16 divided by 8 - 1. 16 divided by 8 is 2, and 2 - 1 = 1.

the answer is 1.

If 1900 square centimeters of material are available to make a box with a square base and an open top, find the largest possible
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Volume = 7969 cubic centimeter

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of each side of the base of the box  be A and the height of the box be H.

Area of material required to make the box  is equal to  is A^2 + 4*A*H.

A^2 + 4*A*H = 1900

 Rearranging the above equation, we get -  

`H = \frac{(1900 - A^2)}{(4*A)}

Volume of box is equal to product of base area of box and the height of the box -  

V = A*A* H

Substituting the given area we get -

\frac{A^2*(1900 - A^2)}{4A} = \frac{(1900*A - A^3)}{4}

For maximum volume

\frac{dV}{dA} =0

\frac{ 1900}{4} - \frac{3*A^2}{4} = 0

A^2 = \frac{1900}{3}

Volume of the box

= \frac{\frac{1900}{3}*(1900 - \frac{1900}{3}) }{4 * \sqrt{\frac{1900}{3} } }

= 7969 cubic centimeter

Plz help I need to pass math!!!!!
serg [7]
You would divide 8 3/4 by 50 to find out how many cups you would get for just one cupcake. So you would do 8 3/4 DIVIDED BY 50= 0.175 which means there will be 0.175 cups of sugar per cupcake.
