Answer:

  11 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the prism is given by the formula ...

  V = Bh

where B is the area of the triangular base, and h is the height.

Filling in the given information, we find the area of the triangular base to be ...

  726 cm³ = B(12 cm)

  B = 726 cm³/(12 cm) = 60.5 cm²

The area of an isosceles right triangle is half the area of a square with the same side lengths:

  B = 1/2s²

  60.5 = 1/2s²

  s = √(2(60.5)) = √121 = 11

The length of each of the equal sides of the base is 11 cm.

Suppose an airline policy states that all baggage must be box shaped with a sum of​ length, width, and height not exceeding 114
NISA [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the length of one side of the base be s and the height by h.  Then the volume of the box is V = s^2*h; this is to be maximized.

The constraints are as follows:  2s + h = 114 in.  Solving for h, we get 114 - 2s = h.

Substituting 114 - 2s for h in the volume formula, we obtain:

V = s^2*(114 - 2s), or V = 114s^2 - 2s^3, or V = 2*(s^2)(57 - s)

This is to be maximized.  To accomplish this, find the first derivative of this formula for V, set the result equal to 0 and solve for s:

dV

----- = 2[(s^2)(-1) + (57 - s)(2s)] = 0 = 2s^2(-1) + 114s - 2s^2

ds

Simplifying this, we get dV/ds = -4s^2 + 114s = 0.  Then either s = 28.5 or s = 0.

Then the area of the base is 28.5^2 in^2 and the height is 114 - 2(28.5) = 57 in

and the volume is V = s^2(h) = 46,298.25 in^3

Deacon wants to order DVDs. Each DVD costs $12.95, and he must pay a shipping and handling fee of $4.95 for the entire order. De
eduard

Answer:

12.95a + 4.95 ≤ 75

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of each DVD = $12.95

Total shipping fee = $4.95

Total amount as gift card = $75

Find;

Inequality

Computation:

Assume;

Number of DVD he purchase = a

So,

Total amount as gift card ≥ (Cost of each DVD)(Number of DVD he purchase ) + Total shipping fee

75 ≥ (12.95)(a) + 4.95

12.95a + 4.95 ≤ 75

The width of a rectangular room is 80% of its length. If the length of the room is 20 meters, what is the area of the room? A= l
KIM [24]

Answer:320ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

80% of 20 is 16, because 80% is 4/5 and 20 divided by 5 is 4, multiplied by 4 is 16. Area is L x W, so 16 times 20 is 320, and don't forget unit of measurement, ft^2 for area
