We can solve for x by equating the two ratios:

a/b = 6/8 = 3/4

We can conclude that x is equal to 3/4.

To find the value of x in the given scenario, where triangles AABC and ADEF are similar, we can use the concept of corresponding sides in similar triangles.

From the given information, we know that the lengths of sides AB and DE are in proportion with each other, as the triangles are similar. Let's denote the length of AB as a and the length of DE as b. Similarly, let's denote the length of BC as c and the length of EF as d.

Since the corresponding sides are in proportion, we can set up the following equation:

AB/DE = BC/EF

Substituting the given values, we have:

a/b = 6/8

To find the value of x, we need to determine the ratio of the corresponding side lengths. Dividing both sides of the equation by 6, we get:

a/6 = b/8

Cross-multiplying, we have:

8a = 6b

Now, we can solve for x by equating the two ratios:

a/b = 6/8 = 3/4

We can conclude that x is equal to 3/4.

Answer:

zero product property

Step-by-step explanation:

To conclude that x+2=0 or x+6=0 from the equation (x+2)(x+6)=0, one must use the zero product property.

The zero product property states that if the product of two factors is equal to zero, then at least one of the factors must be equal to zero. In this case, if (x+2)(x+6)=0, it means that the product of (x+2) and (x+6) is zero. Therefore, we can conclude that either (x+2) = 0 or (x+6) = 0, based on the zero product property.

Answer:

45 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The 4 angles of a quadrilateral will add to 360.

We know 1 of them (angle B) is 90 degrees.

We can set up an equation to solve the others.

2x+3x+x+90 = 360

Now solve for x.

Start by combining the x terms together.

6x+90 = 360

6x = 360-90

6x = 270

(6x/6) = 270/6

x = 45 degrees

Check back to see if that makes sense and if the equation equals 360 when x is 45:

2x+3x+x+90 = 360

2(45)+3(45)+45+90=360.

The value of "a" is approximately -3.784 when the function f(x) is divided by (x - a) and leaves a remainder of -5.

To find the value of "a" when the function f(x) = x^3 + 16x^2 + 60x + 40 is divided by (x - a) and leaves a remainder of -5, we can use the Remainder Theorem.

According to the Remainder Theorem, if a polynomial f(x) is divided by (x - a), the remainder is equal to f(a).

In this case, the remainder is -5, so we have f(a) = -5.

Substituting a into the function, we get:

f(a) = a^3 + 16a^2 + 60a + 40 = -5

Now, we need to solve this equation to find the value of "a."

a^3 + 16a^2 + 60a + 40 = -5

Rearranging the equation:

a^3 + 16a^2 + 60a + 45 = 0

To find the exact value of "a," we can use numerical methods such as factoring, synthetic division, or using a graphing calculator. Unfortunately, the solution to this equation is not straightforward and requires numerical approximations.

Using numerical methods or a graphing calculator, we find that the value of "a" is approximately -3.784.

Therefore, the value of "a" is approximately -3.784 when the function f(x) is divided by (x - a) and leaves a remainder of -5.

About 88.49% of cellphone plans have charges that are less than $83.60.

To determine the percentage of plans that have charges less than $83.60, we need to find the z-score (z) using the given mean and standard deviation, and then look up the corresponding area under the normal distribution curve.

z = (x – μ) / σ

where x = 83.60, mean, μ =  62 and standard deviation, σ = 18

Thus, the z-score of $83.60 is:

z = (83.60 - 62) / 18 = 1.2

Using a standard normal distribution table, we can find that the area to the left of z = 1.20 is 0.8849 or 88.49% (check image attached).

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum volume of the box is 864 cubic inches.

Let side length of the square cut from each corner is x inches.

After cutting the squares from each corner, the remaining dimensions of the sheet metal will be:

Length: 24 - 2x inches

Width: 24 - 2x inches

Height: x inches

So, the volume of the box

V = (24 - 2x) (24 - 2x)  x

V = x(24 - 2x)²

To find the maximum volume, we can take the derivative of V with respect to x, set it to zero, and solve for x:

dV/dx = (24 - 2x)² - 2x(24 - 2x) = 0

4x² - 96x + 576 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation,

x = 6 and x = 12.

We can substitute x = 6 into the volume equation to find the maximum volume:

V = 6(24 - 2(6))²

V = 6(12)²

V = 6 x 144

V = 864 cubic inches

Therefore, the maximum volume of the box is 864 cubic inches.

Answer:

width = 6

length = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 2(length + width) or P = 2(l + w)

2(l + w) = 50

l + w = 25

l = 25 - w

Area = length x width or A = lw

lw = 114

Substitute l = 25 - w into the lw = 114

(25 - w)w = 114

25w - w^2 = 114

-w^2 + 25w - 114 = 0

=> w^2 - 25w + 114 = 0

we have x = [-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)] / 2a

w = [-(-25) ± √((-25)^2 - 4(1)(114)))] / 2(1)

w = [25 ± √(625 - 456)] / 2

w = [25 ± √(169)]/2

w = [25 ± 13]/2

w = [25 + 13]/2 = 38/2 = 14

or

w = [25 - 13]/2 = 12/2 = 6

if width = 14, length = 25 - 14 = 11

then area = 14 x 11 = 154, this is incorrect answer

if width = 6, length = 25 - 6 = 19

then area = 6 x 19 = 114, this is correct answer

Answer:The correct answer is C. 3 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the total amount of liquid in the pot, we need to add the volume of the broth and the volume of the water.

The broth has a volume of 500 milliliters, and the water has a volume of 1,500 milliliters. Adding these together, we get:

500 mL + 1,500 mL = 2,000 mL

Since there are 1,000 milliliters in a liter, we can convert the volume to liters:

2,000 mL ÷ 1,000 = 2 liters

Therefore, the total amount of liquid in the pot is 2 liters.

(a) The distribution of the proportion of people in t high school diploma = 0.0158.

(b)  the probability that at least 88% of the sample of 1600 young Americans will have earned their high school diploma is extremely small.

Given that,

(a) Based on the central limit theorem, the normal distribution may be used to approximate the fraction of persons in the sample who have a high school diploma.

The mean proportion of individuals in the population who have earned their high school diploma can be estimated as

⇒ 879/1600 = 0.5494.

The standard deviation can be estimated as the square root of (0.5494*(1-0.5494)/1600)

=0.0158

b) To find the probability that at least 88% of the sample of 1600 young Americans will have earned their high school diploma,

We need to use the normal distribution with a mean of 0.5494 and a standard deviation of 0.0158.

We can standardize the value of 88% to the corresponding z-score:

z = (0.88 - 0.5494) / 0.0158

  = 20.99

Using a standard normal distribution table or calculator, we find that the probability of a z-score this large or larger is essentially zero,

Answer: the woodworker should choose the dimensions of the box to be approximately 3.825 inches by 3.825 inches by 1.603 inches, with a total surface area of approximately 33.512 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the side length of the square base be x, and the height of the prism be h. Then the volume of the prism is:

V = x^2h

We're given that V = 61.3 cubic inches, so:

x^2h = 61.3

We want to minimize the surface area of the box, which consists of the area of the two square bases (2x^2) plus the area of the four rectangular faces (4xh). So the total surface area is:

A = 2x^2 + 4xh

We can solve the first equation for h:

h = 61.3/x^2

Substituting this into the equation for A, we get:

A = 2x^2 + 4x(61.3/x^2)

A = 2x^2 + 245.2/x

To minimize A, we take the derivative and set it equal to zero:

dA/dx = 4x - 245.2/x^2 = 0

4x = 245.2/x^2

x^3 = 61.3

x = (61.3)^(1/3)

x ≈ 3.825

So the length of each side of the square base should be approximately 3.825 inches. We can use the equation for h to find the height:

h = 61.3/x^2

h ≈ 1.603

So the height of the prism should be approximately 1.603 inches.

Therefore, the woodworker should choose the dimensions of the box to be approximately 3.825 inches by 3.825 inches by 1.603 inches, with a total surface area of approximately 33.512 square inches.
