Step-by-step explanation:
That things are the same when they're both the same as something else is the "transitive property." It applies to many things, from interchangeable parts to math expressions to geometrical objects, as here.
When there are 3 given statements, and two of them are shown as such, it isn't hard to determine what the third one is.
The remaining blanks can be filled by the process of elimination.
We can create two equations here:
(1) Volume = area of square * height of box
85.75 = s^2 h
(2) Cost = 3 * area of square + 1.5 * area of side box
C = 3 s^2 + 1.5 s h
From (1), we get:
h = 85.75 / s^2
Combining this with (2):
C = 3 s^2 + 1.5 s (85.75 / s^2)
C = 3 s^2 + 128.625 s-
Taking the 1st derivative and equating dC/ds =
0:
dC/ds = 6s – 128.625 / s^2 = 0
Multiply all by s^2:
6s^3 – 128.625 = 0
6s^3 = 128.625
s = 2.78 cm
So h is:
h = 85.75 / s^2 = 85.75 / (2.78)^2
h = 11.10 cm
So the dimensions are 2.78 cm x 2.78 cm x 11.10 cm
The total cost now is:
C = 3 (2.78)^2 + 1.5 (2.78) (11.10)
C = $69.47
