Answer:

  x ≈ 1.8 cm gives the greatest volume

Step-by-step explanation:

After cutting x cm from each corner in each direction, the cardboard can be folded up to make a box that is x cm deep and (12 -2x) by (10 -2x) in length and width. Clearly, values of x are limited to 5 or less, since cutting 5 cm from each side would leave a width of zero. Then the volume is given by ...

  V = x(12 -2x)(10 -2x)

The plot below shows the value of this cubic equation for volume, and identifies the peak as (x, V) ≈ (1.8, 96.8). That is, a cut of 1.8 cm will result in a box of approximate volume 96.8 cm³.

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Yoghurt __________ No of responses

Low Fat ___________ 15

Greek_____________24

Whipped __________ 10

Regular ___________ 11

Total number of responses :

(15 + 24 + 10 + 11) = 60

Number of  responses for Greek yogurts = 24

Percentage % :

(Greek Yoghurt responses / total responses) * 100%

= (24 / 60) * 100%

= 0.4 * 100%

= 40%

A conjecture and the flowchart proof used to prove the conjecture are shown.
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

∠1 is supplementary to ∠3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: ABCD is a parallelogram.

Prove: ∠1 is supplementary to ∠3.

Proof:

∠1 = ∠ADB

∠2 = ∠DBC

∠3 = exterior angle adjacent to angle D B C.

Statement                                         Reason

∠2 is supplementary to ∠3           Linear pairs

m∠2+m∠3=180°                             Definition of supplementary angles

m\angle 1=m\angle 2                            Alternative interior angles

m∠1+m∠3=180°                              Substitute property of equality

∠1 is supplementary to ∠3            Definition of supplementary angles

Hence proved.

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

It will take \frac{45W}{P} weeks to recycle a total of 45 kg of paper

Step-by-step explanation:

W represents the number of weeks the office has been on the new recycling plan

P represents the total kilograms of paper recycled.

It took weeks to recycle P kilograms of paper = W

It took weeks to recycle 1 kilogram of paper =\frac{W}{P}

It took weeks to recycle 45 kilograms of paper =\frac{W}{P} \times 45

Hence It will take \frac{45W}{P} weeks to recycle a total of 45 kg of paper
