There are many square prisms with volume 125 in. Let w represent the side length of the square base and h represent the height i

n
inches. Then the formula for the volume V, in cubic inches of these prisms is V = w2h and the equation for the surface area S, in
square inches, is S = 2w2 + 4wh.

Answer:

5in by 5in by 5in

Step-by-step explanation:

We are not told wat to find but we can as well find the dimension of the prism that will minimize its surface area.

Given

Volume = 125in³

Formula

V = w²h ..... 1

S = 2w²+4wh ..... 2

w is the side length of the square base

h is the height of the prism

125 = w²h

h = 125/w² ..... 3

Substitute eqn 3 into 2 as shown

S = 2w²+4wh

S = 2w²+4w(125/w²)

S = 2w²+500/w

To minimize the surface area, dS/dw = 0

dS/dw =4w-500/w²

0= 4w-500/w²

Multiply through by w²

0 = 4w³-500

-4w³ = -500

w³ = 500/4

w³ =125

w = cuberoot(125)

w = 5in

Get the height

125 =w²h

125 = 25h

h = 125/25

h = 5in

Hence the dimension of the prism is 5in by 5in by 5in

Shannon is making three different sizes of blankets from the same material. The first measures 2.5 feet by 2 feet. She wants to
Arada [10]

Answer:

<h2>The dimensions of the third blanket are 7.5 feet by 6 feet.</h2><h2>All the blankets are similar.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The size of the first blanket is 2.5 feet by 2 feet.

Shannon  wants to enlarge the first blanket by scale factor 2 to make the second blanket.

Hence, the size of the second blanket will be (2.5\times2) = 5 feet by 2\times2 = 4 feet.

Again she enlarged the second blanket by a scale factor 1.5 to make the third blanket.

Hence, the size of the second blanket will be 5\times1.5 = 7.5 feet by 4\times1.5 = 6 feet.

Enlargement only changes the size of the blanket, it does not change the shape of the blanket. Hence, all the blankets will be similar.

Find the greatest common factor of x²y and xy²​
balandron [24]

Answer:

xy

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take a look at what factors x^2y and xy^2 have in common.

x^2y is composed of x^2 and y, and xy^2 is composed of x and y^2. Notice that both x and y are factors of them, so the gcf is xy.

HELP PLEASE <br><br> Which graph best represents the equation y= 2x
uysha [10]

Answer:

The answer is H.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no "b" in this y = mx + b, so it has to go through zero, eliminating the bottom two. If we insert y = 2(1), the point should be at (1, 2), and if when looking at the possible answers, we can go with letter H.
