Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of box = width * length * height

120 = x * x * y

120 = x²y

y=120/x²

The surface area (SA) = sum of the area of all faces side

SA = x² + x² + xy + xy + xy + xy

SA = 2x² + 4xy

substitute y =120/x²

SA = 2x² + 4x(120/x²)

SA = 2x² + 480/x

Taking the derivative:

SA' = 4x - 480/x²

making SA' = 0:

0 = 4x - 480/x²

480/x² = 4x

4x³ = 480

x³ = 120

x = 4.93 feet

y = 120 / x² = 120 / 4.93² = 4.93

Hence the width, length and height is 4.93 feet.

What is the value of the expression below when x = 3?<br> 10x2 – 7x + 10
QveST [7]

Answer:

79

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of 10x^2 – 7x + 10, when x = 3, simply plug in the value of x in the expression and solve as follows:

10(3)^2 – 7(3) + 10

10(9) – 21 + 10

90 – 21 + 10

79

The value of 10x^2 – 7x + 10, when x = 3, is 79

Use ΔABC below to answer the question that follows:
Elza [17]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

To prove Δ ABC similar to ΔDBE  we can consider

Segments AC and DE are parallel.

⇒ DE intersects AB and BC in same ratio.

AB is a transversal line passing AC and DE.

⇒∠BAC=∠BDE [corresponding angles]

Angle B is congruent to itself due to the reflexive property.

All of them are telling a relation of parts of ΔABC to ΔDBE.

The only option which is not used to prove that ΔABC is similar to ΔDBE is the first option ,"The sum of angles A and B are supplementary to angle C".
