The surface area of the box consists of 6 rectangles, two that are 5 by 4, two that are 5 by 6, and two that are 4 by 6. Compute the area of each of the six rectangles and add them up to get the total surface area.

The volume of a rectanglular prism is found by multiplying the length times the width times the height.

The product of any two odd numbers is odd:

.

Since





is even, hence



is odd.

Any product that has a factor of 2 is even, so in order to get 4 prime factors of an odd number, 2 must be excluded. The smallest product is therefore obtained from the next four prime numbers.

Geometry_Word_Problems/591787: Please help me to solve this equation: C(x)=0.4x^2-fx+m.
The cost function for the Blingo Hang gliding service is C(x)=0.4x^2-fx+m, where f represents the average fuel cost for a customer's daily excursion and m represents the monthly hanger rental. Also, C represents the monthly cost in dollars of the small business where x is the number of flight excursions facilitated in that month.
a)If $80 is estimated to be the average fuels cost (f), and the monthly hanger rental is $5000; write an equation for the cost, C, in terms of x.
My answer is cx=4/10 x^2 -80+5000
b)What is the cost when 40 flight excursions are sold in a month????
c)How many flight excursions must be sold in order to minimize the cost? Show your work algebraically.
d)What is the minimum cost?
Thank You!

You missed it by that much. Your second term, the one that depends on the average fuel cost, has to have an in it. After all, that makes sense since the more frequently you fly, the more fuel you use, right?

The equation represents a horizontal line. The solution set is the set of all ordered pairs where the coordinate is equal to 10. Since none of the points have a coordinate of zero, then there is no -intercept. The intercept of any graph is a point on the graph with an -coordinate of zero.

3. Divide each of the individual province populations by the Standard Divisor, round the results to the nearest whole number, and then add the rounded results.

4. If the sum of the results in Step 3 is larger than the original number of judges, add 1 to the Standard Divisor and repeat step 3. If the sum of the results in Step 3 is smaller than the original number of judges, subtract 1 from the Standard Divisor and repeat step 3.

Continue to repeat steps 3 and 4 until the sum of the results in step 3 is equal to the total number of judges.

Since segment AB and segment AE are congruent (given), the triangle ABE must be isoscles by definition of an isosceles triangle.

From that it follows that angle ABC must be congruent to angle AED, again by definition of an isosceles triangle.

Then because you are given that segment BC and segment DE are congruent, triangle ABC must be congruent to triangle AED by SAS.

Now you aren't clear whether angle 1 is angle ACB or ACD. Assume it is ACB, then ACB is congruent to ADE by CPCT. Therefore angle 1 equals angle 2. QED.

If angle 1 is ACD and angle 2 is ADC, then since angle ACB is supplementary to angle ACD, angle ADE is supplementary to angle ADC, and from the step above angle ACB is congruent to angle ADE, then angle ACD is congruent to angle ADC by transitive equality. Therefore angle 1 equals angle 2. QED.

Use the slope formula to calculate the slopes of the three lines that contain the three line segments AB, AC, and BC that form the sides of the triangle. If any pair of slopes are negative reciprocals of each other, then those two segments are perpendicular, meaning that the angle between them is a right angle and yea verily the triangle is a right triangle. On the other hand, if no pair of slopes are negative reciprocals, then the triangle is not a right triangle.
