A chocolate manufacturer packages chocolate bars in cardboard prisms whose bases are equilateral triangles. Each base measures 3

cm on a side. If the container is 18 cm long, how many cubic centimeters of chocolate will it hold?

Answer:

The container will hold 70.14 cubic cm of chocolate.

Step-by-step explanation:

The base of the prisms are equilateral triangles.

Each base measures 3 cm on a side.

The length of the container = 18 cm

Area of the equilateral triangle is given by :

$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times a^{2}$

a = 3 so area = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times9$ = 3.897 cm square

And volume will be $3.897\times18=70.14$ cubic cm.

So, the container will hold 70.14 cubic cm of chocolate.

Leona [35]

Answer:

Sample response: Factor the GCF of five out of the total bill. Divide both terms of the expression by 5. The result is 5x – 23, which is the expression that can be used to find the amount each person pays.

T= 300 (d−15) 2 +20space, T, equals, start fraction, left parenthesis, d, minus, 15, right parenthesis, start superscript, 2,

stealth61 [152]

As can be read from your statement written "T, equals, start fraction, left parenthesis, d, minus, 15, right parenthesis, strt superscript, 2, end superscript, divided by, 300, end fraction, plus, 20", I hope your model equation is this :

$T = \frac{(d-15)^{2}}{300} + 20$

Hope this is your question, if not I think you will, still be able to find an answer of your question based on this solution

As we have to find lowest average temperature, So for minimum of a function its derivative is equal to 0 there.

So lets find derivative of T function first

So first expand $(d-15)^{2}$ as (d-15)(d-15)

we will use FOIL to multiply these

so $(d-15)(d-15) = d^{2} -15d -15d +225$

$= d^{2} -30d +225$

so we have $T = \frac{d^{2} -30d +225}{300} +20$

Now we will derivate each term here,300 in denominator is constant so that will come as it in in denominator.

To derivate terms in $dx^{2} -30d +225$ we will use power rule formula:

$(x^{n} )'= nx^{n-1}$

so derivative of $(d^{2} )'= 2d^{2-1} = 2d^{1} = 2d$

Then derivative of d will be 1

so that of -30d will be -30

then derivate of constant -225 will be 0

so we will have derivative as $\frac{2d-30}{300}$ for the fraction part and then derivative of +20 is again 0 as its constant term

$T' = \frac{2d-30}{300}$

For minimum we will put this derivative =0

$0 = \frac{2d-30}{300}$

Now solve for d

times both sides by 300

$0 \times 300 = \frac{2d-30}{300} \times 300$

$0 = 2d-30$

$0 +30 = 2d -30 +30$

$30 = 2d$

$\frac{30}{2} = \frac{2d}{2}$

$15 = d$

So now we have to find value of lowest temperature.

For that simply plug 15 in d place in original T function equation

$T = \frac{(d-15)^{2}}{300} + 20$

$T = \frac{(15-15)^{2}}{300} + 20$

$T = 20$

So T = 20 °C is the lowest average temperature and the answer.

A shipment of 7 television sets contains 2 defective sets. A hotel makes a random purchase of 3 of the sets. If x is the number

serg [7]

Answer:

The probability distribution is

X : 0 1 2

f(X) : 2/7 4/7 1/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x is the number of defective sets purchased by the hotel.

Total number of television sets = 7

Total number of defective television sets = 2

Since there are 2 defective television sets and hotel purchase 3 sets, So, X=0,1,2.

If X=0,

$P(X=0)=\frac{^5C_3}{^7C_3}=\frac{10}{35}=\frac{2}{7}$

If X=1,

$P(X=1)=\frac{^5C_2\cdot ^2C_1}{^7C_3}=\frac{10\cdot 2}{35}=\frac{4}{7}$

If X=2,

$P(X=2)=\frac{^5C_1\cdot ^2C_2}{^7C_3}=\frac{5\cdot 1}{35}=\frac{1}{7}$

The probability distribution is

X : 0 1 2

f(X) : 2/7 4/7 1/7

The probability histogram is shown below.

A basketball player that shoots 80% from the free throw line attempts two free throws. The notation for conditional probability

taurus [48]

Answer:

P(made 2nd attempt|made 1st attempt)=P(made 2nd attempt)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here given that a basketball player that shoots 80% from the free throw line attempts two free throws.

If x is the no of shoots he makes (say) then we find that each throw is independent of the other.

In other words, because he made successful first attempt, his chances for second attempt will not change

Prob for success in each attempt remains the same as 0.80

Hence I throw is independent of II throw.

When A and B are independent,then we have

P(A/B) = P(A)

Hence answer is

P(made 2nd attempt|made 1st attempt)=P(made 2nd attempt)
