Answer:

The dimensions of the box are:

Length = 11.53cm

Breadth = 11.53cm

Height = 11.53cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the box can be calculated with this formula:

The volume of the box = area of square base X height of the box.

We are given that the length of one side of the square base is = x cm, and its height is h cm.

Area of square base = x^{2}cm^{2}

The surface area of the box will be minimized if the height of the box, is the same as its length. hence, we can take the height of the box to be x cm also.

In this case, the volume of the box will be x^{3}=1536cm^{3}

from this, x =3\sqrt{1536}= 11.53cm

There fore, the box has its length, height, and width all having the same values.

The dimensions of the box are:

Length = 11.53cm

Breadth = 11.53cm

Height = 11.53cm

Match the equation with its corresponding solution for x.
Fudgin [204]

To solve for x, you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the equation:

3x - 3(x + 1) = 3     Distribute/multiply -3 into (x + 1)

3x + (-3)x + (-3)1 = 3

3x - 3x + 1 = 3

1 = 3

Your answer is no solution because the variable "x" is canceled out and 1 ≠ 3

Can someone help answer at least one? :) ty

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a). Ratio of OP and RT = \frac{OP}{RT}

                                     = \frac{12}{3.6}

                                     = \frac{10}{3}

b). Since ΔOPQ ~ ΔRTS, their corresponding sides will be proportional.

    \frac{OQ}{RS}=\frac{OP}{RT}

    \frac{OQ}{4.5}=\frac{10}{3}

    OQ = \frac{10\times 4.5}{3}

    OQ = 15 cm

c). m∠P = m∠T = 60°

d). m∠Q = m∠S

    By applying angle sum theorem in ΔRST,

    m∠R + m∠S + m∠T = 180°

    26° + m∠S + 60° = 180°

    m∠S = 180° - 86°

             = 94°

    Therefore, m∠Q = m∠S = 94°
