Answer:

For any rectangle, the one with the largest area will be the one whose dimensions are as close to a square as possible.

However, the dividers change the process to find this maximum somewhat.

Letting x represent two sides of the rectangle and the 3 parallel dividers, we have 2x+3x = 5x.

Letting y represent the other two sides of the rectangle, we have 2y.

We know that 2y + 5x = 750.

Solving for y, we first subtract 5x from each side:

2y + 5x - 5x = 750 - 5x

2y = - 5x + 750

Next we divide both sides by 2:

2y/2 = - 5x/2 + 750/2

y = - 2.5x + 375

We know that the area of a rectangle is given by

A = lw, where l is the length and w is the width. In this rectangle, one dimension is x and the other is y, making the area

A = xy

Substituting the expression for y we just found above, we have

A = x (-2.5x+375)

A = - 2.5x² + 375x

This is a quadratic equation, with values a = - 2.5, b = 375 and c = 0.

To find the maximum, we will find the vertex. First we find the axis of symmetry, using the equation

x = - b/2a

x = - 375/2 (-2.5) = - 375/-5 = 75

Substituting this back in place of every x in our area equation, we have

A = - 2.5x² + 375x

A = - 2.5 (75) ² + 375 (75) = - 2.5 (5625) + 28125 = - 14062.5 + 28125 = 14062.5

Answer:

C - 3,600

Step-by-step explanation:

100 16 45 ÷ 2

50. 8. 45 ÷ 2

25. 4. 45 ÷ 2

25. 2. 45. ÷ 2

25. 1. 45. ÷ 3

25. 1. 15. ÷ 3

25. 1. 5. ÷ 5

5. 1. 1. ÷ 5

1. 1. 1

L.C.M = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 5 = 3, 600

I know this may be confusing but if you don't understand, you're welcome to ask.

Answer:

The volume of cone = Maximum holding of glass = 60 cube cm(cm^3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Cone formula:

v =  \frac{1}{3}  \pi \: r {}^{2} h

The radius is 3cm and Volume is 60cm^3.

if pi =~ 3 So the "h" is 6.66 cm.

"h" is distance from cone's head to its base.

The "H"( height of glass) = 6.66 + 7 = 13.6 =~ 14
