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

Brad buys a pack of 12 bottles of energy drink for £9.25 he then sells all bottles for £1 each. Work out brads percentage profit
docker41 [41]

Brad's profit was 30%

Further explanation:

Profit is the money someone earns on selling a product on more than its actual cost.

The formula for profit is:

Profit= Selling\ price-Purchase\ price

Given

Purchase price of energy drinks = £9.25

Selling price of one bottle=£1

Selling price of 12 bottles=1*12=£12

Profit= Selling Price - Purchse price

=12-9.25

=£2.75

Brad's profit was £2.75

Now,

Profit percentage= (Profit/Purchase Price)*100

=(2.75/9.25)*100

=0.30*100

=30%

Brad's profit was 30%

different sizes of regular pentagons are used in a stained glass window.each small pentagon has side lengths of 4 inches and an
Liula [17]
The goal is to find the area of a pentagon with side length 8.

We can find the area of a pentagon very easily by splitting it up into 10 congruent right triangles with the apothem as the height. The base of one of these triangles would be 4. The base angle would be 54 degrees, because it's half of the angle of a regular pentagon.

Using trig we find that the height of this triangle/apothem of the pentagon is equal to 4tan(54 degrees), which is about 5.506.

The area of a triangle is bh/2, so...4*5.506/2 = 11.011 in².
Times 10 triangles is 110.11 in².

Irina18 [472]
First, create a scale that includes all the numbers- that being, you can plot both the minimum and maximum values on it.

Next, draw a line of a set height (I tend to use 2 squares in my work) where the median is. Next, draw similar lines, at the same height, for the rest of the values- both quartiles and the maximum values. You can obviously do this in whatever order you like, but that's how I do it.

Next, join up the tops and bottoms of the quartiles, with the median in the middle, and connect the middles of the quartiles to their corresponding minimum or maximum values.

Voila, my friend. You have a box plot.
