Answer:

V = (5)(14 L - L^2) cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the dimensions of the rectangular base be W by L and the height be H.

The perimeter must be 28 cm, so 28 cm = 2(W) + 2(L).  This reduces to

14 cm = W + L, which can be solved for either W or L.  Solving for W:  

W = 14 cm - L

Then the area of the rectangular base is A = W*L, or A = (14 cm - L)(L), or

A = 14L - L^2.

The volume of the box is then V = A*H.  

Because H = 5 cm, the volume is V = (5 cm)A, or

                                                        V = (5 cm)(14L - L^2) cm^2

This is a quadratic equation.  Putting it into standard form yields:

V = (5)(14 L - L^2) cm^3.  This is the desired quadratic formula.

Tell whether each statement is a proportion:
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

1. Yes

2. No

3. No

4. No

5. Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Do you mean equal proportion?

1. 3 : 9 = 6 : 18 TRUE because 3 : 9 = 1 : 3 and 6 : 18 = 1 : 3

2. 28 : 7 = 64 : 16 FALSE because they are just not related.

3. 95 : 100 = 17 : 20 FALSE because the closest they get are 19 : 20 ≠ 17 : 20

4. 60 : 80 = 14 : 16 FALSE because the closest they get are 60 : 80 = 6 : 8 and 14 : 16 = 7 : 8

5. 200 : 300 = 24 : 36 TRUE because 200 : 300 = 2 : 3 and 24 : 36 = 2 : 3
