Answer:
a) SAS
b) Volume of DEF is 4 times the Volume of ABC
Step-by-step explanation:
a) since they have one same/congruent angle (angle B and angle E) and other two sides are in the same ratio, they are similar by SAS similarity theorem.
40/20 = 30/15 = 2
Therefore Δ ABC is similar to Δ DEF
b) Volume of a prism
= base area × height
Let height be 'h cm'
With Base ABC:
Volume = ½×20×15×h = 150h cm³
With Base DEF:
Volume = ½×40×30×h = 600h cm³
600h/150h = 4
Prism with base DEF has a greater volume; it's 4 times of the volume of the prism with base ABC
Let the lengths of the bottom of the box be x and y, and let the length of the squares being cu be z, then
V = xyz . . . (1)
2z + x = 16 => x = 16 - 2z . . . (2)
2z + y = 30 => y = 30 - 2z . . . (3)
Putting (2) and (3) into (1) gives:
V = (16 - 2z)(30 - 2z)z = z(480 - 32z - 60z + 4z^2) = z(480 - 92z + 4z^2) = 480z - 92z^2 + 4z^3
For maximum volume, dV/dz = 0
dV/dz = 480 - 184z + 12z^2 = 0
3z^2 - 46z + 120 = 0
z = 3 1/3 inches
Therefore, for maximum volume, a square of length 3 1/3 (3.33) inches should be cut out from each corner of the cardboard.
The maximum volume is 725 25/27 (725.9) cubic inches.
Try A, $5000. I did 550 divided by 11, which is 50, then multiplied by 10 to find 10%, then multiplied the 10%, which was 500, by 10 to get 100% which is 5,000
