Answer:

The maximum height of the prism is 12\ m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the height of the prism

we know that

the area of the rectangular base of the prism is equal to

A=L*W

A\leq 27\ m^{2}

so

L*W\leq 27 -------> inequality A

W=x-9 ------> equation B

L=W+6 -----> equation C

Substitute equation B in equation C

L=(x-9)+6

L=x-3 ------> equation D

Substitute equation B and equation D in the inequality A

(x-3)*(x-9)\leq 27-------> using a graphing tool to solve the inequality

The solution for x is the interval---------->[0,12]

see the attached figure

but remember that

The width of the base must be 9 meters less than the height of the prism

so

the solution for x is the interval ------> (9,12]

The maximum height of the prism is 12\ m

3.) A glass of water is being filled up slowly. It initially starts out with 4
maria [59]

Answer:

  8 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount in the glass after m minutes can be described by ...

  a = 4 + 3/2m

We want to find m when a=16, so ...

  16 = 4 + 3/2m

  12 = 3/2m . . . . . subtract 4

  8 = m . . . . . . . . . multiply by 2/3

It will take 8 minutes to fill the glass.

In the spinner below, what is true about the probability of landing on 3 and the probability of landing on 4?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

C.The probabilities are equal.  

The above statement is the only TRUE statement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given number of total possibilities are { 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}

So, number of total outcomes = 10

Let E : Event of spinner landing on 3

and E' : Even of spinner landing on 4

{Probability of Event E}  =  \frac{\textrm{Total number of favorable outcomes}}{\textrm{Toatl outcomes}}

\implies P(E) = \frac{1}{10}

⇒ P( landing on 3 ) = 1/10

and  P(E') = \frac{1}{10}

P( landing on 4 ) = 1/10

Now, the given statements are

A.The probability of landing on 3 is less than  probability of landing on 4.

FALSE, as both the probabilities are equal to 1/10.

B.The probability of landing on 3 is greater than probability of landing on 4.

FALSE, as both have same probabilities.

C.The probabilities are equal.

TRUE, both have same probability = 1/10

D.The probabilities cannot be predicted

FALSE, the probability are predictable.
