This question involves direct proportion which has the formula (y=kx) where y and x are the values which are proportional and k is the constant of proportionality.
The constant of proportionality is basically the value that stays the same even if the x and y values change.
In this case, the constant of proportionality would be 3/7.
Label the 3 distinct sides of the box. I arbitrarily chose the letters a, b and c.
Use the info about areas as follows:
ab=54 in^2
ac=90 in^2
bc=60 in^2
Here you have 3 equations in 3 unknowns (a, b and c), which is enough info to use to determine a, b and c. Then the volume of the box is a*b*c.
Example: bc = 90, but c = 60/b. You could subst. 60/b for c in the 2nd and 3rd equation, which will eliminate c completely and leave you with 2 equations in 2 unknowns.
Continuing this procedure, I determined that a=9, b=6 and c=10. Thus, the volume of the box is V = 9*6*10 = 540 cubic inches (answer)
40 - x^2 = 0
x^2 = 40
x = + 40^0.5 or x = - 40^0.5

Question:
The charge to rent a trailer is $25 for up to 2 hours plus $9 per additional hour or portion of an hour.
Find the cost to rent a trailer for 2.8 hours, 3 hours, and 8.7 hours.
Then graph all ordered pairs, (hours, cost), for the function.
Answer:
ordered pair = (2.8, 34)
ordered pair = (3, 34)
ordered pair = (8.7, 88)
Step-by-step explanation:
Charge for 2.8 hours:
$25 for 2 hours
$9 for 0.8 hour
Total = $25 + $9
Total = $34
ordered pair = (2.8, 34)
Charge for 3 hours:
$25 for 2 hours
$9 for 1 hour
Total = $25 + $9
Total = $34
ordered pair = (3, 34)
Charge for 8.7 hours:
$25 for 2 hours
$9 for 1 hour
$9 for 1 hour
$9 for 1 hour
$9 for 1 hour
$9 for 1 hour
$9 for 1 hour
$9 for 0.7 hour
Total = $25 + $9 + $9 + $9 + $9 + $9 + $9 + $9
Total = $88
ordered pair = (8.7, 88)
The obtained ordered pairs are graphed, please refer to the attached graph.
$25 a month :) (its too short so i hope you have a lovely day)
