A rectangular prism must have a base with an area of no more than 27 square meters. The width of the base must be 9 meters less

than the height of the prism. The length of the base must be 6 meters more than the width of the base. Find the maximum height of the prism. Let x = the height of the prism x – 9 =

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 $12\ m$

1) Last Tuesday, Regal Cinemas sold a total of 85 movie tickets. Ticket sales totaled

irakobra [83]

In this question, some of the data is missing so its a complete question and the solution can be defined as follows:

$\bold{\text{m = matinee tickets}} \\\\\bold{\text{s = student tickets}}\\\\\bold{\text{r = regular tickets}}$

By given question, calculating equations are:

$\to \bold{m + s + r = 8500}............................................(a)\\\\\to \bold{5m + 6s + 8.50r = 64600}............................(b)\\\\\to \bold{s = 2m}...................(c)$

Putting the equation (c) value in the equation (a) to calculate value:

$m + 2m + r = 8500\\\\3m + r = 8500\\\\r = 8500 - 3m........................................(d)$

Putting equation (c) and (d) value into equation (b):

$5m + 6(2m) + 8.50(8500 - 3m) = 64600\\\\5m + 12m + 72250 - 25.50m = 64600\\\\-8.50m = 64600 - 72250 \\\\-8.50m = -7650\\\\m = \frac{-7650}{-8.50}\\\\m = \frac{7650}{8.50}\\\\m = 900$

Putting m value into equation (c) and equation (d) to calculate its value:

Calculating the s value:

$\to s = 2(900) \\\\ \to s = 1800$

Calculating the r value:

$\to r = 8500 - 3(900) \\\\\to r = 8500 - 2700\\\\\to r = 5800\\\\$

So, the final value of "m, s, and r" are "900, 1800, and 5800".

You are designing a rectangular garden. the garden will be enclosed by fencing on three sides and by a house on the fourth side.

RUDIKE [14]

Suppose the dimensions of the rectangle is x by y and let the side enclosed by a house be one of the sides measuring x, then the sides that is to be enclosed are two sides measuring y and one side measuring x.

Thus, the length of fencing needed is given by

P = x + 2y

The area of the rectangle is given by xy,

i.e.

$xy = 288 \\ \\ \\ \\ \Rightarrow y= \frac{288}{x}$

Substituting for y into the equation for the length of fencing needed, we have

$P=x+2\left( \frac{288}{x} \right)=x+ \frac{576}{x}$

For the amount of fencing to be minimum, then

$\frac{dP}{dx} =0 \\ \\ \Rightarrow1- \frac{576}{x^2} =0 \\ \\ \Rightarrow \frac{576}{x^2} =1 \\ \\ \Rightarrow x^2=576 \\ \\ \Rightarrow x=\sqrt{576}=24$

Now, recall that

$y= \frac{288}{x} = \frac{288}{24} =12$

Thus, the length of fencing needed is given by

P = x + 2y = 24 + 2(12) = 24 + 24 = 48.

Therefore, 48 feets of fencing is needed to enclose the garden.

Given: △CGF ,CG=GF=CF=and, KOPS is a square inside this triangle with one side on CF and its two vertices on CG and GF

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

AKPOS/ACGF = 28√3 -48 ≈ 0.497423

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume the square is a unit square. Then the height of the triangle is ...

1 +(√3)/2 = h

and half the base of the triangle is ...

h/√3 = (√3)/3 +1/2 = b/2

The area of the triangle is the product of these:

A = (1/2)bh

= (2 +√3)/2 × (3 +2√3)/6

= (6 +3√3 +4√3 +6)/12 = (12 +7√3)/12

So, the ratio of the area of the square to that of the triangle is the inverse of this, or ...

(square area)/(triangle area) = 12/(12+7√3)

(square area)/(triangle area) = 28√3 -48

What is 8x8x3to the second power

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer: If you're talking about the answer to 8*8*3 (192) to the second power, the answer is 36,864. If you're talking about 8*8*3^2 (with the three being the number with the raised power), the answer is 576

Step-by-step explanation:

8x8x3=192

192^2=192x192= 36,864

8x8x3^2=576
