<u>Question Completion</u>

  • Box A, The rectangular prism is of dimension 3 inch by 4 inch by 10 inch
  • Box B, the Triangular prism has a base triangle of base 8 inch and height 3 inch. The length of the triangular prism is 6 Inch

See attached diagram

Answer:

Box B

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the box which is made with less cardboard, we calculate the Total Surface Area of each box.

<u>Rectangular Prism(Box A)</u>

Total Surface Area=2(LW+LH+WH)

=2(10x4+10x3+3x4)

= 2(40+30+12)

=2(82)

Total Surface Area of Box A = 164 square inches

<u>Triangular Prism (Box B )</u>

Total Surface Area=2(Area of Triangle)+Area of Base rectangle+2(Area of side rectangles)

=2(0.5X3X8)+(8X6)+2(5X6)

=24+48+60

=132

Total Surface Area of Box B = 132 square inches

Since the total surface area of Box b is lesser,Box B is made with less cardboard .

One side of a right triangle is known to be 12 cm long and the opposite angle is measured as 30°, with a possible error of ±1°.
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

estimated error=±0.725

Step-by-step explanation:

Side of the triangle= 12cm

Opposite of triangle x= 30

h= hypotenose side

Error= =±1

From trigonometry

Sin(x)=opposite/hypotenose

hypotenose=opposite/sin(x)

h=12/sin(x)

h=12Csc(x)

dh=-12Csc(x)Cot(x) dx...............eqn(1)

dx is the possible error in angle measurements

So we need to convert to radius

dx=±1°× (π/180)

=±1°(π/180)

Substitute x and dx into equation (1)

dh= - 12Csc30°Cot30°×[±(π/180)]

= -12(2)(√3)(±(π/180)

==±0.725

Therefore, estimated error=±0.725

Stels [109]
The distance between Adam and Liz is 7 meters. Sam ang Linda are 12 meters apart. Adam and Sam are 3 meters apart while Adam is 5 meters ahead of anyone. So, Sam finished first, then Adam, next is Liz, next is Rumi, last is Linda.

When you divide a whole number by a decimal less than 1, the quotient is greater than the whole number. why?
Viktor [21]
Well if you get back to the definition of a division, diving X by Y is finding out how many Ys you can have in a X.

It is clear that you will have more than X times Y if Y is less than 1 since dividing X by 1 is exactly X.

If you think of 10 and 1, you can divide 10 in exactly 10 portions of 1.
But you can divide it into 100 portions of 0,1.
And 100 is bigger than 10 of course.
Hope this helps.

a(0.3−y)+1.1+2.4x (y−1.2) ​ =0 =−1.2(x−0.5) ​ Consider the system of equations above, where aaa is a constant. For which value o
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

For a = 1.22 there is one solution where y = 1.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Let´s write the system of equations:

a(0.3 - y) + 1.1 +2.4x(y-1.2) = 0

-1.2(x-0.5) = 0

Let´s solve the second equation for x:

-1.2(x-0.5) = 0

x- 0.5 = 0

x = 0.5

Now let´s repalce x = 0.5 and y = 1.3 in the first equation and solve it for a:

a(0.3 - y) + 1.1 +2.4x(y-1.2) = 0

a(0.3 - 1.3) + 1.1 + 2.4(0.5)(1.3 -1.2) = 0

a(-1) + 1.1 + 1.2(0.1) = 0

-a + 1.22 = 0

-a = -1.22

a = 1.22

Let´s check the solution and solve the system of equations with a = 1.22. Let´s solve the first equation for y:

1.22(0.3 - y) + 1.1 +2.4(0.5)(y-1.2) = 0

0.366 - 1.22y + 1.1 + 1.2 y - 1.44 = 0

-0.02y +0.026 = 0

-0.02y = -0.026

y = -0.026 / -0.02

y = 1.3

Then, the answer is correct.

Have a nice day!
