Label the 3 distinct sides of the box. I arbitrarily chose the letters a, b and c.
Use the info about areas as follows:
ab=54 in^2
ac=90 in^2
bc=60 in^2
Here you have 3 equations in 3 unknowns (a, b and c), which is enough info to use to determine a, b and c. Then the volume of the box is a*b*c.
Example: bc = 90, but c = 60/b. You could subst. 60/b for c in the 2nd and 3rd equation, which will eliminate c completely and leave you with 2 equations in 2 unknowns.
Continuing this procedure, I determined that a=9, b=6 and c=10. Thus, the volume of the box is V = 9*6*10 = 540 cubic inches (answer)
Answer:
Area of the other polygon = 4 in.²
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the bigger polygon : Area of the smaller polygon = square of the side length of the bigger polygon : square of the corresponding side length of the smaller polygon
Let "x" represent the area of the smaller polygon
Thus, we have:
100/x = 20²/4²
100/x = 400/16
100/x = 25
Cross multiply
25x = 100
Divide both sides by 25
25x/25 = 100/25
x = 4
Area of the other polygon = 4 in.²
Answer:
-5
Step-by-step explanation:
Moving all terms of the quadratic to one side, we have
.
A quadratic has one real solution when the discriminant is equal to 0. In a quadratic 
, the discriminant is 
.
(The discriminant is more commonly known as 
, but I changed the variable since we already have a 
in the quadratic given.)
In the quadratic above, we have 
, 
, and 
. Plugging this into the formula for the discriminant, we have
.
Using the distributive property to expand and simplifying, the expression becomes
Setting the discriminant equal to 0 gives
.
We can then solve the equation as usual: first, divide by 2 on both sides:
.
Squaring both sides gives
,
and subtracting 5 from both sides, we have
Max volume = Volume of container = 13 in x 7 in x 6 in = 546 in^3
<span>Part B: </span>
<span>1 cup = 14.4375 in^3 </span>
<span>14 cups = 14.4375 in^3 * 7 = 202.125 in^3 </span>
<span>Part C: </span>
<span>Height of water = (202.125 in^3)/(13 in x 7 in) = 2.22 in.
