1. A box without a top is to be made from a rectangular piece of cardboard, with dimensions 8 in. by 10 in., by cutting out square corners with side length x and folding up the sides. (a) Write an equation for the volume V of the box in terms of x. (b) Use technology to estimate the value of x, to the nearest tenth, that gives the greatest volume. Explain your process.

What is the perimeter, p, of a rectangle that has a length of x + 8 and a width of y − 1? p = 2x + 2y + 18 p = 2x + 2y + 14 p = x + y − 9 p = x + y + 7

Find the area and perimeter of each composite figure. use 3.14 for π. round your answer to the nearest tenth. a square and a right triangle share a common side. image long description a 3-meter by 0.5-meter rectangle has triangles attached like wings to the 3-meter sides. the other two sides of both triangles measure 2.5 meters. the height of each triangle is 2 meters. a 6-inch by 4-inch rectangle has 2 half-circles attached like wings to the 6-inch sides. the radius of each half-circle is 3 inches. find the surface area and volume of each figure. use 3.14 for π. round your answer to the nearest tenth. a right circular cylinder has a base radius of 6 yards and a height of 20 yards. a rectangular prism has a base that is 9 centimeters long and 7 centimeters wide. the height is 2 centimeters. a rectangular prism has a base that measures 11 millimeters by 11 millimeters. the height is 11 millimeters.

Which expression is equivalent to 3^3 + 2^2?
