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

Graph this function using intercepts Solve 10x+9y=-90
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So first, lets solve for the intercepts.

Let’s start by finding the x intercept.

Plug in 0 for y.

10x+9(0)=-90

10x=-90

X=-9, so your first point on your line will be (-9,0).

Now the y intercept.

Plug in 0 for x.

10(0)+9y=-90

9y=-90

Y=-10, so your second point on your line will be (0,-10).

Use those points to create your line.

What is the value of y?<br> 72°<br> A. 1080<br> B. 540<br> C. 36°<br> D. 720
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

B. 54

Explanation:

Take 72 from 180.

180 - 72 = 108.

Since there are two y's AND they're congruent, divide 108 by two and get 54.

Ranger simplified this expression. 3(2.7x + 5) – 2(4x – 1.6) What was Ranger's simplified expression? 0.1x + 18.2 –16.1x + 11.8
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Ranger's simplified expression was 0.1x + 18.2

The correct answer is the first option.

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify the given expression

3(2.7x + 5) – 2(4x – 1.6)

First, we will open the brackets by distributing 3 and 2, that is

(3×2.7x) + (3×5) -(2×4x) -(2×-1.6)

Now, we will get

8.1x + 15 - 8x +3.2

Now, collect like terms,

8.1x - 8x + 15 + 3.2

Then, we will get

0.1x + 18.2.

Hence, Ranger's simplified expression was 0.1x + 18.2.

The correct answer is the first option.

Answer:

11/16

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 9 red crayons, 2 blue crayons, and 5 yellow crayons. We can represent this as a ratio of 9:2:5. Now we have to combine the red crayons and blue crayons so it's 11 red and blue crayons: 5 yellow crayons OR 11:5. Then we add those two values to find out the number of crayons there are, and there are 16. So out of 16 times, you will pick up a red or blue crayon 11 times. So this fraction is 11/16 which is already its simplest form.
