The volume of a rectangular box with a square base remains constant at 500 cm3 as the area of the base increases at a rate of 6

cm2/sec. Find the rate at which the height of the box is decreasing when each side of the base is 15 cm long.

Answer:

the rate at which the height of the box is decreasing is -0.0593 cm/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Constant Volume of a rectangular box with a square base = 500 cm³

area of the base increases at a rate of 6 cm²/sec

so change in the area of the base with respect to time dA/dt = 6 cm²/sec

each side of the base is 15 cm long

so Area of the base = 15 cm × 15 cm = 225 cm²

the rate at which the height of the box is decreasing = ?

Now,

V = Ah

dv/dt = 0 ⇒ Adh/dt + hdA/DT = 0

⇒ dh/dt = -hdA/dt / A

we substitute

dh/dt = [ -( 500 / 225 ) × 6 ] / 225

dh/dt = [ -(2.22222 × 6)  ] / 225

dh/dt = [ -13.3333 ] / 225

dh/dt = -0.0593 cm/s

Therefore, the rate at which the height of the box is decreasing is -0.0593 cm/s

Anna007 [38]

Answer: D: Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent


Step-by-step explanation:

If two triangle are congruent using postulate of theorems of congruence then their corresponding parts are congruent by CPCTC rule.

The CPCTC rule says that if two triangles are congruent then their each corresponding part whether angles or sides must be equal.

Here if triangle abc= def by side-side-side triangle congruence theorem,

then b=e [which is a corresponding part of both triangles] by Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent.

To finish a project, you need to paint the lateral surfaces of a cube with side length 2.5 inches. Find the area that you need t
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

25 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the lateral surface area of the cube.

The lateral surface area of a cube is given as:

A = 4a^2

where a = length of side of the cube

Therefore, given that the length of the side of the cube is 2.5 inches, the area you need to paint is:

A = 4 * 2.5^2\\A = 25 in^2
