Answer:

Approximately $24.7\; \rm in$ .

While there are three diagonals in a box (a rectangular prism,) all three diagonals goes through the same point- the centroid of this box.

For a maximum-length poster to fit in this box, it would have to be on one of the main diagonals of this box. Hence, any maximum-length poster that fits in this box would go through the centroid of this box.

It's not possible to force more than one posters to go through the same point (i.e., the centroid) in space. Hence, it would not be possible to fit a second maximum-length poster into this box.

This argument does not apply to $21.5\; \rm in$ posters. These posters are shorter than the diagonal of this box; they could fit inside the box without having to go through a particular point in space.

Step-by-step explanation:

The longest poster that could be fit into this box (a rectangular prism) would be as long as the longest line segment in this box. That line segment would be one of the three diagonals of this box.

Apply the Pythagorean theorem twice to find the length of that diagonal.

Start by finding calculating the diagonal of the base of this box. The base of this box is a rectangle with width $8\; \rm in$ and length $10\; \rm in$ . The length of its diagonal would be $\sqrt{8^2 + 10^2}$ inches.

Combine that with the height of this box to find the length of the diagonal of this box.

$\begin{aligned}& \sqrt{{\left(\sqrt{8^2 + 10^2}\right)}^2 + 12^2 \\ &= \sqrt{8^2 + 10^2 + 12^2} \\ &\approx 24.7 \end{aligned}$ .

Sean says that to add a number to -100 and still have -100 is to add zero. Candice says that she can add two numbers to -100 and

Tema [17]

Sean is correct, because he adds 0 to -100, which equals to -100

<em />I dont think Candice is correct however, since you cannot repeat the numbers
(and adding negative numbers is incorrect im assuming)

hope this helps

What is the equation of a line that has a slope of 2, and contains the point (4,6)?

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

y= 2x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

You would use point- slope formula. y-y = m(x-x). With your numbers it would end up looking like this ----> y-6 = 2(x-4), then do the distributive property which then gives you ----> y-6 = 2x - 8, then subtract 6 on both sides and you get ---> y = 2x - 2. Hope this helped!!!!

Answer:

(3 square root of 2 , 135°), (-3 square root of 2 , 315°)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

We need to determine two pairs of polar coordinates for the point (3, -3) with 0°≤ θ < 360°.

We know that the polar coordinate system is a two-dimensional coordinate. The two dimensions are:

The radial coordinate which is often denoted by r.

The angular coordinate by θ.

So we need to find r and θ. So we know that:

$r=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}$ (1)

x = rcos(θ) (2)

x = rsin(θ) (3)

From the statement we know that (x, y) = (3, -3).

Using the equation (1) we find that:

$r=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}=\sqrt{3^{2}+(-3)^{2}} = 3\sqrt{2}$

Using the equations (2) and (3) we find that:

3 = rcos(θ)

-3 = rsin(θ)

Solving the system of equations:

θ= -45

Then:

r = 3\sqrt{2}[/tex]

θ= -45 or 315

Notice that there are two feasible angles, they both have a tangent of -1. The X will take the positive value, and Y the negative one.

So, the solution is:

(3 square root of 2 , 135°), (-3 square root of 2 , 315°)

Compare the functions shown below: f(x) cosine graph with points at 0, negative 1 and pi over 2, 1 and pi, 3 and 3 pi over 2, 1

Levart [38]

Answer:

f(x) and h(x) have the same maximum value: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum value of f(x) is 3 at (π, 3).

The maximum value of g(x) is -2 at (-3, -2).

The maximum value of h(x) is 3 at (0, 3).

Both f(x) and h(x) have the same (greatest) maximum value.
