Answer:

The dimension of the cardboard is 34 cm by 34 cm by 17 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the dimension of the cardboard box be x cm by y cm by z cm.

The surface area of the cardboard box without lid is

f(x,y,z)= xy+2xz+2yz.....(1)

Given that the volume of the cardboard is 19,652 cm³.

Therefore xyz =19,652

\Rightarrow z=\frac{19652}{xy}......(2)

putting the value of z in the equation (1)

f(x,y)=xy+2x(\frac{19652}{xy})+2y(\frac{19652}{xy})

\Rightarrow f(x,y)=xy+\frac{39304}{y})+\frac{39304}{x}

The partial derivatives are

f_x=y-\frac{39304}{x^2}

f_y=x-\frac{39304}{y^2}

To find the dimension of the box set the partial derivatives f_x=0 and f_y=0.Therefore y-\frac{39304}{x^2}=0

\Rightarrow y=\frac{39304}{x^2}.......(3)

and   x-\frac{39304}{y^2}=0

\Rightarrow x=\frac{39304}{y^2}.......(4)

Now putting the x in equation (3)

y =\frac {39304}{(\frac{39304}{y^2})^2}

\Rightarrow y=\frac{y^4}{39304}

\Rightarrow y^3= 39304

⇒y=34 cm

Then \Rightarrow x=\frac{39304}{34^2} =34 cm.

Putting the value of x and y in the equation (2)

z=\frac{19652}{34 \times 24}

  =17 cm.

The dimension of the cardboard is 34 cm by 34 cm by 17 cm.

An eagle perched 40 ft up in a tree looks down at a 35 degree angle(angle of depression) and spots a vole. How far is the vole f
maria [59]

Answer:

X=49ft

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Height of Eagle h=40ft

Angle of depression \theta=35\textdegree

 

Generally the trigonometry equation for diagonal X is mathematically given by

Cos\theta \textdegree=\frac{Adjacent}{Hypotenuse} }

Cos\theta \textdegree=\frac{h}{X} }

X=\frac{40}{Cos 35 } }

X=48.83ft

X=49ft

With a line 7 cm long. Use a set square and a ruler and draw perpendicular lines at both ends
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

Steps of construction:

  • Step I - Draw a line segment AB = 7 cm with the help ruler.
  • Step II - with vertex A, by using compass take more than half of AB and draw arcs, one on each side of AB.
  • Step III - with vertex B, by using a compass with the same length, cut the previous arcs at X and Y respectively.
  • Step IV - with help of the ruler join the points X and Y Thus XY is the perpendicular bisector of line AB.
