If you start with a 12x16 rectangle and cut square with side length x, when you bend the sides you'll have an inner rectangle with sides
and
, and a height of x.
So, the volume will be given by the product of the dimensions, i.e.

The derivative of this function is

and it equals zero if and only if

If we evaluate the volume function at these points, we have

So, the maximum volume is given if you cut a square with side length

Answer:
What are the dementions? 9 and 2?
That would be 9*3.14*4 = 133.04
~ 133.04 units cubed
Step-by-step explanation:
The direct variation equation is:
d=kt
where d is the distance that the giraffe travels
k is the constant of variation
and t is time
Now we are told that the giraffe can travel 800 ft in 20 seconds, so we can solve for the constant of variation (k)
800=k(20) divide both sides by 20
k=40-------------and the units are ft per sec
So now we can write
d=40t
ck
d=40t
800ft=40*20 ft
800 ft= 800 ft
Hope this helps!
Answer:
30 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a trapezoid is equal to (a+b)/2 * h
In this case, the value of a is 5, b is 10, and h is 4. You can substitute those numbers into the formula and get the answer of 30.
