Answer:

The correct option is 4.

4) Doing two distance formulas to show that adjacent sides are not the same length.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallelogram is a quadrilateral which has opposite sides equals and parallel. Example of a parallelogram are rhombus, rectangle, square etc.

We can prove that a quadrilateral MNOP is a parallelogram. If we find the slopes of all four sides and compare those of the opposite ends, same slopes would indicate the opposite sides are parallel, hence the quarilateral is a parallelogram. We can also find the distance of two opposing sides, and slopes of twp opposing sides to determine whether it is a parallelogram or not. The most difficult approach is that diagonals bisect each other at same point.

However, using only two distance formulas will not give us enough information to determine whether a side is parallel or not.

An open box is to be made from a rectangular piece of material 9 inches by 12 inches by cutting equal squares from each corner a

grigory [225]

The questions for this problem would be:
1. What is the dimensions of the box that has the maximum volume?
2. What is the maximum volume of the box?

Volume of a rectangular box = length x width x height

From the problem statement,
length = 12 - 2x
width = 9 - 2x
height = x

where x is the height of the box or the side of the equal squares from each corner and turning up the sides

V = (12-2x) (9-2x) (x)
V = (12 - 2x) (9x - 2x^2)
V = 108x - 24x^2 -18x^2 + 4x^3
V = 4x^3 - 42x^2 + 108x

To maximize the volume, we differentiate the expression of the volume and equate it to zero.

V = 4x^3 - 42x^2 + 108x
dV/dx = 12x^2 - 84x + 108
12x^2 - 84x + 108 = 0x^2 - 7x + 9 = 0

Solving for x,
x1 = 5.30 ; Volume = -11.872 (cannot be negative)
x2 = 1.70 ; Volume = 81.872

So, the answers are as follows:

1. What is the dimensions of the box that has the maximum volume?
length = 12 - 2x = 8.60
width = 9 - 2x = 5.60
height = x = 1.70

2. What is the maximum volume of the box?

Volume = 81.872

Nikolay [14]

Hello! 3.5% in decimal form is 0.035. You add 1 to that to get 1.035. B is out, because that number is too high. A is out, because it doesn't add 1. The formula for compound interest is P(1 + r)^t. D is also out, because it incorrectly interprets 3.5% in decimal form. The correct form is 3,500(1.035)^t. The only one that shows this is C. Therefore, the answer is C.
