You have been given a flat cardboard of area, say, 70 square inches to make an open box by cutting a square from each corner and folding the sides (see Figure below). Your objective is to determine the dimensions, that is, the length and width, and the side of the square to be cut from the corners so that the resulting box is of maximum length. Write a C++ program that prompts the user to enter the area of the flat cardboard. The program then outputs the length and width of the cardboard and the length of the side of the square to be cut from the corner so that the resulting box is of maximum volume. Calculate your answer to three decimal places. Your program must contain a function that takes as input the length and width of the cardboard and returns the side of the square that should be cut to maximize the volume. The function also returns the maximum volume.

Write a program to accumulate the "x" deposits made in a month in a savings account, include in the cycle, enter the month and the amount of the deposit and at the end of the cycle show the total amounts. You must validate that it is the current month, if another month is entered, ignore it and at the end also show the total correct deposits. Subject: Python Programming
Here is a classic “introduction to computer programming” problem: Write a program that converts temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius and vice versa. The program will accept a number (temperature) and a temperature unit designation (i.e., character F or C) from the user, and then convert the temperature into the other unit system. The program will echo the input as part of the final conversion output. The temperature units should be printed in full (Fahrenheit or Celsius). Your program should use real numbers—not integers—for both input and output. Formula: T(F) = (T(C) * 9 / 5) + 32T(C) = (T(F) − 32 ) * 5 / 9 Sample Run: This program converts Temperatures from Fahrenheit to Celsius and vice versa. Please enter your temperature: 32 Please enter the units (F/C): F A temperature of 32 degrees Fahrenheit is equivalent to 0 degrees Celsius. Do you wish another conversion? (Y/N): Y Please enter your temperature: 100 Please enter the units (F/C): C A temperature of 100 degrees Celsius is…
Paula and Danny want to plant evergreen trees along the back side of their yard. They do not want to have an excessive number of trees. Write a program that prompts the user to input the following:a. The length of the yard.b. The radius of a fully grown tree.c. The required space between fully grown trees.The program outputs the number of trees that can be planted in the yard and the total space that will be occupied by the fully grown trees.
I'm having trouble coding this. python code: Mad Libs are activities that have a person provide various words, which are then used to complete a short story in unexpected (and hopefully funny) ways. Write a program that takes a string, integer, and another string as input, and outputs a sentence using those items as below. The program repeats until the input string is quit. Ex: If the input is: apples 5 doctor dollars 2 taxman quit the output is: Eating 5 apples a day keeps the doctor away. Eating 2 dollars a day keeps the taxman away.
Write a program that asks you to input an integer. After you input the integer, it should ask if you want to input another integer. If you answer y, it should allow you to input a second integer and then output the sum of the two integers you entered. If you answer n or some character other than y, it should output the integer you input before. For example: if you input 4, answer y and then input 3, it should output 7 if you input 4 and answer n, it should output 4
Python Programming Part 2 Direction: Use PYTHON to solve this problem. Description: This part tests for two things. The program must identify all resistors in series or in parallel with each other and calculate the equivalent resistance for each group of resistors. Recall that total resistance of resistors in series are added up while the total conductance of those in parallel are added up. Input Format: The first line of the input consists of 1 integer N which is the total number of resistors. The next N lines will consist of 3 strings and an integer R each separated by a space. The first string is the resistor name, the second and third strings are the node names where the resistor terminals are connected, and R is its resistance value. Output Format: One line for each group of resistors in series or parallel. Each line starts with a list of resistors arranged in lexicographical order (see Lexicographic order - Wikipedia) followed by their total resistance rounded off to the nearest…
Write a program that calculates and prints the volume of a pyramid given the base (b) and the height (h) of the pyramid. The formula to calculate the volume is: Volume = (1/3) *b * h Enter the base of the pyramid: 3 Enter the height of the pyramid: 2 The volume is 1.9998
Given an airplane's acceleration and take-off speed v, you can compute the minimum runway length needed for an airplane to take off using the following formula. length=v^2/2*a. write a program that prompts the user to enter V in meters and acceleration an in meter/second and display the minimum runway length.
the electrical resistance r (in ohms) of a metal wire is given by the formula r = (ml)/ a where m is the resistivity of the metal; l is the lenght of the wire in feer, and a is the cross-sectional area of the wire ( in the circular mils) write a program that allow user to input for l and a for a copper whose resistivity m of copper is 10.4.

3. Having a secure password is a very important practice, when much of our information is stored online. Write a program that validates a new password, following these rules: The password must be at least 8 characters long. The password must have at least one uppercase and one lowercase letter. The password must have at least one digit. Write a program that asks for a password, then asks again to confirm it. If the passwords don't match or the rules are not fulfilled, prompt again. Your program should include a function that checks whether a password is valid.
