Answer:
The 16 cases will fit the box as shown.
Step-by-step explanation:
One disk case has the dimensions 14.2 cm by 19.3 cm, with thickness 1.6 cm.
Temporarily ignoring the 14.2 cm and 19.3 cm measurements, we multiply this 1.6 cm thickness by 16, obtaining a total thickness for the stack of cases of 25.6 cm.
1) The 16 cases, arranged as shown, and measuring 25.6 cm from left to right in this diagram, will fit within the 26 cm horizontal distance shown.
2) The horizontal length of each case is 14.2 cm. Stacked as shown, the 16 cases will fit within the 15 cm depth of the box.
3) The vertical measurement of each case is 19.3 cm. The 20 cm vertical measurement of the box can accommodate this 19.3 height within 20 cm.
All indications are that the 16 cases will fit comfortably inside the box.
Answer:
16 discs capacity of the cuboid.
Step-by-step explanation:.
for simplicity...
i would just divide 26cm to 1.6cm = 16 .25
therefore, 16 discs capacity of the cuboid.

HELPP (ESPECIALLY PART B) Answer the questions in this part of the task based on your understanding of the definition and the standard equation for the conic you chose. part a Inspect the equation for the type of conic section you chose. What attributes are necessary to graph it? Be sure to include specific points or equations to complete your answer. part b Explain how, if you have the attributes given below for the conic you chose, you can derive its equation in standard form.
The conic section chosen is a parabola, and the attributes for graphing of
a parabola as well as the standard form of the equation are as follows;
Part A: The attribute necessary to graph the equation of the parabola are three points, including, the vertex, the y-intercept and the image of the reflection of the y-intercept across the axis of symmetry.Part B: The equation in standard form is x = -0.25·y² + y + 3Reasons:
Part A:
The equation of the conic section of a parabola is; (x - 3)² = 12·(y - 2)
The vertex form of the equation of a parabola is; y = a·(x - h)² + k
Where (h, k) = The vertex
Rearranging the given equation gives;
(x - 3)² = 12·y - 24
12·y - 24 = (x - 3)²
12·y = (x - 3)² + 24
[tex]\displaystyle y = \frac{1}{12} \cdot \left(x - 3\right)^2 + \frac{24}{12} = \frac{1}{12} \cdot \left(x - 3\right)^2 + 2[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle y = \frac{1}{12} \cdot \left(x - 3\right)^2 + 2[/tex]
Therefore, the vertex of the parabola, (h, k) = (3, 2)
At the y-intercept, x = 0, which gives;
[tex]\displaystyle y = \frac{1}{12} \cdot \left(0 - 3\right)^2 + 2 = \frac{9}{12} + 2 = 2+\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle y = 2+\frac{3}{4} = 2.75[/tex]
The y-intercept = (0, 2.75)
The x-intercept is given at the point where y = 0, which gives;
(x - 3)² = 12·(0 - 2) = -24
x - 3 = √(-24) = An imaginary number
Therefore, the graph has no x-intercept
Given that a parabola is symmetrical about the vertex, we have a third
point on the parabola at the image of the y-intercept reflected across the
axis of symmetry as follows;
The y-intercept (0, 2.75) is 3 units to the left of the axis of symmetry, x = 3,
therefore, the third point will be 3 units to the right of the axis of symmetry
at the point (3 + 3, 2.75) = (6, 2.75)
Therefore, using the three points, (0, 2.75), (3, 2), and (6, 2.75), the curve
representing the parabola, (x - 3)² = 12·(y - 2), can be drawn.
Please find attached the graph of the parabola created with MS Excel
Part B; Given the attributes of the parabola; Vertex: (4, 2) and focus: (3, 2), we have;
The focus of a parabola is the point (h + p, k)
Where, (h, k) = The vertex
Therefore, by comparison, we have;
(h, k) = (4, 2)
h + p = 3
Therefore;
4 + p = 3
p = 3 - 4 = -1
The vertex form of the equation of the parabola is; (y - k)² = 4·p·(x - h)
Therefore, we get;
(y - 2)² = 4 × (-1) × (x - 4) = -4·(x - 4)
y² - 4·y + 4 = 16 - 4·x
4·x = 16 - (y² - 4·y + 4) = -y² + 4·y + 12
Which gives, the standard form as follows;
[tex]\displaystyle x = -\frac{y^2}{4} + y + 3 = -0.25 \cdot y^2 + y + 3[/tex]

-11/2+27/4+(-17/4)(-22+27-17)/4(-12)/4-3On a map’s coordinate grid, Panthersville is located at (−3, 2), and Heel City is located at (4, 8). Falconton is the midpoint between Panthersville and Heel City. What is the approximate distance from Panthersville to Falconton? (Each unit on the grid represents 1 mile.) A. 3.25 miles B. 4.61 miles C. 5.00 miles D. 9.22 miles
Answer:
The approximate distance from Panthersville to Falconton is: B: 4.61 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Objective: Find the distance from Panthersville to Falconton. (Which is just half of the distance from Panthersville to Heel City because Falconton is the midpoint between both cities.)
First we need to find the distances from Panthersville to Heel City, which we are given the coordinates. ( Panthersville (-3,2) & Heel City (4, 8) )
-To find the distance between the two cities we use the distance formula:
d= √(x2 - x1) ^2 + (y2 - y1)^2 , so we set (-3,2) as x1 and y1 while (4,8) x2 and y2 and we just plug it in.
Once we plug it in we get:
d= √(4 - -3)^2 + (8 - 2) ^2
Then we solve the numbers in the parenthesis (4 - -3) = 7 and (8 - 2) = 6 so now we have:
d= √(7)^2 + (6) ^2
Next we solve for the exponents (7)^2 = (7 x 7 = 49) and (6)^2 = ( 6 x 6= 36) now it look like this:
d= √49 + 36
After that we just add both numbers together (49 + 36) = 85
d= √85
Now all we have to do is square root 85 which is just 9.219544457, just round it to the nearest hundredth and you will get 9.22.
So the distance from Panthersville to Heel City is about 9.22 miles.
Now we found the full distance we now need to find the distance from Panthersville to Falconton which is just half of that distance due to Falconton being the midpoint.
All we have to do is divide 9.22 by 2 and we get 4.61.
The distance from Panthersville to Falconton is 4.61 miles.

Find the area of the shape shown below.
Answer:
31.5
Step-by-step explanation:
We can add the areas together
We have a rectangle and a triangle
The area of the rectangle is
A = lw
= 7*3
= 21
The area of the triangle is
A = 1/2 bh
= 1/2 (7)*3
= 21/2
= 10.5
Add them together
A = 21 + 10.5
=31.5
Answer:
31 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
You find the area for the triangle on top and the rectangle on the bottom. In order to find the area of the triangle, multiply 7 and 3. Then divide the product which is 21 by 2. So the area of the triangle is 21/2 which could also be written as 10 1/2. Next, you find the area of the rectangle which is 7x3. You get 21. Finally, you add the two areas to get 31 1/2. It could also be written as 63/2 or 31.5

Find the measure of c.
Answer:
140°
Step-by-step explanation:
The circle has a central angle of 80. This means that the arc it intercepts is also 80°. Therefore, the rest of the circle not intercepted by the arc is 360-80=280°
Remember that inscribed angles have one-half of the arc-length it intercepts. We can see that Angle C intercepts the entire circle except for the arc intercepted by Angle O. Therefore, the arc intercepted by Angle C is 280°. This means that Angle C is the half of 280, or 140°.

If Kate's strides average 3.5 ft, what is the
length of the longest side of the triangle?
What distance must Kate paddle across
the lake?
Answer:
1. Length of longest side of the triangle = 1,050 ft
2. Length = 437.5 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Kate's strides average = 3.5 ft
Find:
1.longest side of the triangle
2.Distance must Kate paddle across the lake
Computation:
1.longest side of the triangle
longest side of the triangle = AE
So,
longest side of the triangle = 150 + 150
longest side of the triangle = 300
Length of longest side of the triangle = 300 × 3.5 ft
1. Length of longest side of the triangle = 1,050 ft
2.Distance must Kate paddle across the lake.
We know that,
ΔABD ~ ΔACE
So,
AB / AC = BD / CE
80 / 160 = BD / 250
BD = 125 Strides
Length = 125 × 3.5 ft
2. Length = 437.5 ft

Answer:
202.5 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
We can calculate the area of the shape by completing it
to a full rectangle or dividing it to a rectangle and triangle.
The second way seems easier
The area of the rectangle is calculated by multiplying length to width
20 × 9 = 180 cm^2
The area of a triangle is calculated by multiplying height to the base and that divided by two
5 × 9 ÷ 2 = 22.5 cm^2
Now add these two 180 + 22.5 = 202.5 cm^2
Answer:
202.5 cm squared
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the area of this figure easier, you can cut the figure like I showed in the attachment below.
The rectangle (purple): 20 times 9 is 180.
The right triangle (light blue): 9 times 5 times 1/2 is 22.5.
All together: 180 plus 22.5 is 202.5 cm squared!

5.4(m-2)= -2(3m+3) please help asap
Answer:
m = 0.421
Step-by-step explanation:
5.4(m-2)= -2(3m+3) (expand parentheses by distributive property)
m(5.4) -2(5.4) = 3m(-2) + 3(-2)
5.4m - 10.8 = -6m - 6 (add 6m to both sides)
5.4m - 10.8 + 6m = - 6
11.4m - 10.8 = - 6 (add 10.8 to both sides)
11.4m = -6 + 10.8
11.4m = 4.8 (divide both sides by 11.4)
m = 4.8 / 11.4
m = 0.421
Answer:
m = 8/19
Step-by-step explanation :
5.4 (m-2) = -2 (3m +3)
54/10 (m-2) = (3m +3) as n = 1
2.3^3 / 2.5 (m-2) = (3m + 3)
4.868 (m-2) = (3m +3)
4.868 + 3 = (3m^2 * m-2)
8 / 9.5 * 2
m = 8 / 19

Answer:
Total distance = 30 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
AC : EC = 1:1
AC = 4x − 3 and EC = 2x + 6
Find:
Total distance
Computation:
AC = EC
So,
4x - 3 = 2x + 6
2x = 9
x = 4.5
AC = 4(4.5) - 3 = 15 m
EC = 2(4.5) + 6 = 15 m
Total distance = AC + EC
Total distance = 15 m + 15 m
Total distance = 30 m
The distance between the top and bottom of the bridge, in feet, is 15 + 15 = 30m
Given that a new bridge structure requires triangles that are in a ratio of 1:1 with the following parameters
AC = 4x - 3
EC = 2x + 6
Since the measure are in the same ratio, henec;
AC = EC
4x - 3 = 2x + 6
4x - 2x = 6 + 3
2x = 9
x = 4.5
Get the
AC = EC = 4x - 3
AC = EC = 4(4.5) - 3 = 15feet
The distance between the top and bottom of the bridge, in feet, is 15 + 15 = 30m\

A. [tex]\{(-4, -6), (-3, -2), (1, -2), (1, 0)\}[/tex]
Start by splitting the relation into x and y columns
[tex](x,y)[/tex]
[tex](-4, -6)[/tex]
[tex](-3, -2)[/tex]
[tex](1, -2)[/tex]
[tex](1, 0)[/tex]
Notice that the third and fourth relation has the same x value of 1;
Hence, this is not a function
B. [tex]\{(-2, -12), (-2, 0), (-2, 4), (-2, 11)\}[/tex]
Start by splitting the relation into x and y columns
[tex](x,y)[/tex]
[tex](-2, -12)[/tex]
[tex](-2, 0)[/tex]
[tex](-2, 4)[/tex]
[tex](-2, 11)[/tex]
Notice that all relations has the same x value of -2;
Hence, this is also not a function
C. [tex]\{(0,1), (0, 2), (1, 2), (1, 3)\}[/tex]
Start by splitting the relation into x and y columns
[tex](x,y)[/tex]
[tex](0, 1)[/tex]
[tex](0, 2)[/tex]
[tex](1, 2)[/tex]
[tex](1, 3)[/tex]
Notice that the first and second relation has the same x value of 0 and the third and fourth relation has the same x value of 1;
Hence, this is also not a function
D. [tex]\{(8, 1), (4, 1), (0,1), (-15, 1)\}[/tex]
Start by splitting the relation into x and y columns
[tex](x,y)[/tex]
[tex](8, 1)[/tex]
[tex](4, 1)[/tex]
[tex](0, 1)[/tex]
[tex](-15, 1)[/tex]
Notice that relation has the unique x values of 8, 4, 0 and -15
Hence, this relation is a function
Which of the following describes a compound event?
Answer:
B.
Step-by-step explanation:
A compound event is the combination of two or more simple events (with two or more outcomes). The probability of drawing a heart, replacing the card, then drawing a spade. In a compound event, the numerator ("number of times it can occur") will be greater than 1.
