Answer:
The volume in such a package is 27648 in³
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided information.
Postal regulations specify that a parcel sent by priority mail may have a combined length and girth of no more than 144 in.
Let the dimension are x by x by y.
Where x is the variable for the square base package and y is the variable for length.
Thus l=x, b=x and h=y
Then the volume of the box is: 
(∵V=lbh)
The maximum combined length and girth is 144.
Therefore, 
Substitute the value of y in volume of the box.
Substitute V'(x)=0.
Now apply second derivative test.
(Min)
(Max)
Hence, the maximum volume is at x=24
If x=24 then 
Substituting value of x = 24 and y = 48 gives 27648.
Hence, the volume in such a package is 27648 in³
When comparing to thing with same rate, set up a proportion:
Inches/cost
13/.78=33/x
(13)(x)=(.78)(33) [cross multiplied]
13x=25.74 [simplified]
13/13x=25.74/13 [division property]
x=1.98
33 inches of wire will cost $1.98.
They are not, because inverse means multiply by -1, therefore, there should be a positive sign in front of 2 and a negative in front of x for G(x) = x - 2
Answer:
x = 14
y = 4
Explanation:
Ok so, just from looking at the two triangles i can tell they're congruent right triangles. I used different colors to show which sides of the triangle correspond and are equal to each other in my attatched photo.
So the side thats equal to x is the same length as the side that's equal to y+10 on the other triangle.
So we can write the equation x = y + 10.
Using this same method, the side that's equal to x + 2 is the same length as the side that's equal to 4y on the other triangle.
So, we can write the equation 4y = x + 2.
Now we have the equations 
you could rewrite to be in slope- intercept form so they're easier to graph. But a graphing calculator online would plot it just fine.
If you graph these two equations they'll intersect at the solution ( 14, 4 ). I'll include the graph in my images as well.
To check your answer, you can plug in x and y and see if the triangle sides end up being the same length. I did and it was correct.
Percent means parts ot of 100
25%=25/100=1/4
ratio is 1:4 or 2:8 or 6:12
