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

X=36. You just make the equation: X+9=45. Then you subtract 9 from 45 like this:                                                    -9   -9. That gives you 36

One of Shakespeare's sonnets has a verb in 11 of its 18 lines, an adjective in 13 lines, and both in 8 lines. How many lines hav
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of lines, n(U) = 18

Let the number of lins with verb be n(V) = 11

Let the number of lines with adjectives be n(A) = 13

n(V n A) = 8

Find the number of lines that have a verb but no adjective, that is, n(V n A')

Mathematically, according to sets theory,

n(V) = n(V n A) + n(V n A')

So,

n(V n A') = n(V) - n(V n A) = 11 - 8 = 3.

Hence, only 3 lines have a verb but no adjectives.

Rally sold 30 flower baskets at a market. She purchased 30 baskets for $142.65, 185 yards of ribbon for $.07 per yard, and $252.
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

She spent 142.65 for baskets, 252.50 for flowers and 185 * 0.07 or 12.95 for ribbons for a total outlay of 408.10. Since she made 30 baskets, that is 408.10/30 = 13.60 1/3 per basket.

If she sold all 30 for 25.99 each, that is 779.70 for a profit of 361.60

Step-by-step explanation:
