2. The Parkside Packing Company needs a rectangular shipping box. The box must have a length

of 11 inches and a width of 8 inches. Find, to the nearest tenth of an inch, the minimum height

of the box such that the volume is at least 800 cubic inches.

(3 points)

9.1 Inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the proposed box=11 Inches

Width of the proposed box=8 Inches

Required Volume,

Volume of a Rectangular Prism =Length X Width X Height

Therefore:

Therefore, the minimum height to the nearest tenth of an inch is 9.1 Inches.

55.44 inches

step-by-step explanation:

part a. assuming a perfectly linear relationship, we can find the slope from the first two data points.

slope = m = (change in rainfall)/(change in years)

= (61.80 -62.33)/(2005 -2004) = -0.53/1 = -0.53

then the point-slope form of the equation of the line can be written as

y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . m = -0.53, (h, k) = (0, 62.33)

y = -0.53x +62.33 . . . x = years after 2004

part b. in 2017, x = 2017 -2004 = 13. then the predicted rainfall is

y = -0.53·13 +62.33 = 55.44 . . inches

the predicted rainfall in 2017 is 55.44 in.

it would be c. 25 units
