Mrs. Lindsay doesn't have a cat crate and needs to take her cats to the vet. She's
going to make a box out of a 8 foot by 8 foot piece of cardboard. How many feet
should Mrs. Lindsay cut from the corners to have the maximum amount of space
inside the box?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The amount to remove from each corner is a square, 4/3 ft by 4/3 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The piece of cardboard measures 8 ft by 8 ft.

Each corner will be cut to create the sides of the box.

Let the square cut from each corner measure x by x ft.

The base of the box will measure 8 - 2x by 8 - 2x, and the height of the box will be x.

V = (8 - 2x)^2 * x

V = 64x - 32x^2 + 4x^3

Now we differentiate and set the derivative equal to zero to find a maximum value.

64 - 64x + 12x^2 = 0

3x^2 - 16x + 16 = 0

(3x - 4)(x - 4) = 0

3x - 4 = 0  or  x - 4 = 0

3x = 4   or   x = 4

x = 4/3  or  x = 4

The solution x = 4 must be discarded since 8 - 2x = 8 - 8 = 0, and the sides would have 0 length.

The amount to remove from each corner is a square, 4/3 ft by 4/3 ft.

3/5 pencils sold in the morning. 1/4 of the remainder in the afternoon. If 200 more pencils were sold in the morning than afternoon, how many pencils did they start with

Answers

Answer:

x = total pencils = 400 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = total pencils

Pencils sold in the morning = 3/5x

Remaining pencil = x - 3/5x

= 5x-3x/5

= 2/5x

Pencils sold in the afternoon = 1/4 of the remainder

= 1/4 * 2/5x

= 2/20x

= 1/10x

Pencils sold in the afternoon = 1/10x

3/5x + 200 = 1/10x

3/5x - 1/10x = 200

(6x-x)/10 = 200

5/10x = 200

1/2x = 200

x = 200 ÷ 1/2

= 200 × 2/1

x = 400 pencils

x = total pencils = 400 pencils

(6, - 3, 1) and (8,9,-11) find the angle between the vector​

Answers

Answer:

The angle between the two vectors is 84.813°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Statement is incomplete. Complete form is presented below:

Let be (6,-3, 1) and (8, 9, -11) vector with same origin. Find the angle between the two vectors.

Let [tex]\vec u = \langle 6, -3, 1 \rangle[/tex] and [tex]\vec v = \langle 8,9,-11 \rangle[/tex], the angle between the two vectors is determined from definition of dot product:

[tex]\theta = \cos^{-1} \left(\frac{\vec u \,\bullet \,\vec v}{\|\vec u\|\cdot \|\vec v\|} \right)[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]\vec u[/tex], [tex]\vec v[/tex] - Vectors.

[tex]\|\vec u\|[/tex], [tex]\|\vec v\|[/tex] - Norms of each vector.

Note: The norm of a vector in rectangular form can be determined by either the Pythagorean Theorem or definition of Dot Product.

If we know that [tex]\vec u = \langle 6,-3,1 \rangle[/tex] and [tex]\vec v = \langle 8, 9,-11 \rangle[/tex], then the angle between the two vectors is:

[tex]\theta = \cos^{-1}\left[\frac{(6)\cdot (8) + (-3)\cdot (9) + (1)\cdot (-11)}{\sqrt{6^{2}+(-3)^{2}+1^{2}}\cdot \sqrt{8^{2}+9^{2}+(-11)^{2}}} \right][/tex]

[tex]\theta \approx 84.813^{\circ}[/tex]

The angle between the two vectors is 84.813°.

What fraction of the square is the green triangle?

Answers

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

7/32

(btw thats the simplified version....look at the bottom for non-simplified if you didnt need it simplified)

Step-by-step explanation:

first count how many squares there are in total

its 8 by 8 so in total there are 64!

now there is the green triangle.....

count all the whole squares in it = 10

now count all the half squares (little triangles in it)= 8

Now if you put those little triangles together it would make one small unit square so it is 4 of all

10 + 4 = 14

So there is a Total of 14 unit squares in the green triangle

Fraction Time......

now lets take 14/64 and simplify it

that would be 7/32

We cant make it any more simplified now if you werent looking for the simplified version the your answser would be 14/64
