Answer:

x = 6.54 cm

h = 3.27 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of open top box

V = 140 cm³

Dimensions of the box

It is a base square box then area of the base of side x is

A(b) = x²

And we will call h the height of the box then

V = 140   ⇒    140 = x²*h     ⇒   h = 140/ x²

We have to calculate the area of the 4 sides

Area of one side is  As = x*h        ⇒ total area of 4 sides = 4 x* 140/x²  

Ats  =  560/x

Then Total area of the box is

A(t)  =  Area of the base  +  Total area of sides

A(x)  =   x²  +   560/x

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation we get:

A´(x)  =  2x   -  560/x²

A´(x)  =  0     ⇒    2x   -  560/x² = 0   ⇒   2x³  -  560  = 0

x³  =  280     ⇒    x  = 6.54 cm

And h      h  =  140/ (6.54)²    ⇒ h =  140/ 42.77    h  = 3.27 cm

I need help on 4, 5, and 6.
Ahat [919]

Answers and Explanations:

4. They do not have a proportional relationship. For the first 3 sets, you can multiply x by 2.5 to get y. But that does not work for 8 and 18, so there is no proportional relationship between x and y.

5. Yes. For equilateral triangles, the side length is equal to the perimeter divided by 3, the number of sides. Vise versa, the side length times 3 equals the perimeter. If the side length is 3 in, multiply by 3 to get 9 in, the diameter.

6. Yes. it is proportional. X times 80 equals Y. In this case, in 8 hours, 640 tickets were sold.

Factor 8a^2+8ab+8ac+3a+3b+3c
nalin [4]

Answer:

(8a + 3)(a + b + c)

Step-by-step explanation:

8a^2 + 8ab + 8ac + 3a + 3b + 3c =

= 8a(a + b + c) + 3(a + b + c)

= (8a + 3)(a + b + c)

castortr0y [4]

length = 3x - 5 \\ width \:  = x \\ p = 2l + 2w \\ 54 = 2(3x - 5) + 2x \\ 54 = 6x - 10 + 2x \\ 54 = 8x - 10 \\ 64 = 8x \\ x = 8 = width \\ 3(8) - 5 = 24 - 5 = 19 \\ length = 19
