Answer:

SA(x) = x^2 + \frac{12}{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

V = 3m^3 --- volume

x \to base\ length

y \to height

Required

The surface area as a function of base length

The volume (V) is calculated as:

V = Base\ Area * Height

V = x*x*y

V = x^2*y

Make y the subject

y = \frac{V}{x^2}

Substitute 3 for V

y = \frac{3}{x^2}

The surface area of the open box is:

SA = x^2 + 2xy+2xy

SA = x^2 + 4xy

Substitute: y = \frac{3}{x^2}

SA = x^2 + 4x*\frac{3}{x^2}

SA = x^2 + 4*\frac{3}{x}

SA = x^2 + \frac{12}{x}

Hence, the function is:

SA(x) = x^2 + \frac{12}{x}

Jonny can build 3 1/2 lego planes in 60 minutes. How many can he build in 40 minutes
NeX [460]

Answer:

2.3lego

Step-by-step explanation:

We can walk through this problem using the cross multiplication method

First 3 1/2 lego is same as 3.5lego

Hence If

Johnny builds 3.5lego in 60min

He can build xlego in 40min

Crosss multiplying we have

Xlego *60= 3.5*40

Xlego= 140/60= 2.3lego

A right triangle has a base that measure 39 inches and a height that measures 80 inches. What is the length of its hypotenuse?
guajiro [1.7K]
The Pythagorean Theorum formula is a(squared) + b(squared)= c(squared). If you plug in the numbers, the equation is 39(squared) + 80(squared)= c(squared). That simplifies to 1521+6400=c(squared). Adding results in 7921=c(squared). Finally, when you take the square root of both sides, you are left with 89=c (aka the hypotenuse)
