Answer:

PD = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

PC x PD = PA x PB

3 x PD = 4 x (4 + 2)

Work out the area of this trapezium

skelet666 [1.2K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = ½ × b × h

= ½ × (7.9 + 10.8) × 6.2

= ½ × 18.7 × 6.2

= ½ × 115.94

= 57.97 cm²

So, the area of that trapezium is 57.97 cm²

Hope it helpful and useful :)

A rectangular package sent by a postal service can have a maximum combined length and girth (perimeter of a cross sectio) of 108

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The maximum volume of the package is obtained with a cross section of side 18 inches and a length of 36 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a optimization with restrictions problem.

The restriction is that the perimeter of the square cross section plus the length is equal to 108 inches (as we will maximize the volume, we wil use the maximum of length and cross section perimeter).

This restriction can be expressed as:

$4x+L=108$

being x: the side of the square of the cross section and L: length of the package.

The volume, that we want to maximize, is:

$V=x^2L$

If we express L in function of x using the restriction equation, we get:

$4x+L=108\\\\L=108-4x$

We replace L in the volume formula and we get

$V=x^2L=x^2*(108-4x)=-4x^3+108x^2$

To maximize the volume we derive and equal to 0

$\dfrac{dV}{dx}=-4*3x^2+108*2x=0\\\\\\-12x^2+216x=0\\\\-12x+216=0\\\\12x=216\\\\x=216/12=18$

We can replace x to calculate L:

$L=108-4x=108-4*18=108-72=36$

The maximum volume of the package is obtained with a cross section of side 18 inches and a length of 36 inches.

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

10.14 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The following equation describes the percentage of all eligible voters that are registered to vote as a function of time:

V=100-30e^{-0.04t}

The time 't' for which V(t) = 80 is the amount of years required for the percentage of registered voters to reach 80%:

80=100-30e^{-0.04t}\\\frac{20}{30}= e^{-0.04t}\\ln(\frac{2}{3})=-0.04t*ln(e)\\ t=10.14\ years

It will take 10.14 years until 80% of all eligible voters in your county are registered to vote

A multivitamin tablet contains

dezoksy [38]

For every multivitamin tablet you take, you get 0.14 grams of vitamin C.

0.14 * 30 = 4.2

The question wants the answer in milligrams.

One milligram = 0.001 gram

4.2 / 0.001 = 42000

So, 42000 is the answer.
