The smallest amount of material needed is 54 square centimeters

<h3>How to determine the amount of material needed?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Volume = 36 cubic centimeters

Represent length with x, width with y and height with z.

So, we have

x = 3y

The volume is calculated as:

V = xyz

This gives

V = 3y²z

Substitute 36 for V

3y²z = 36

Divide by 3

y²z = 12

Make z the subject

z = 12/y²

The surface area is:

S = 2(xy + xz + yz)

This gives

S = 2(3y² + 3yz + yz)

Evaluate the like terms

S = 2(3y² + 4yz)

Expand

S = 6y² + 8yz

Substitute z = 12/y²

S = 6y² + 8y * 12/y²

This gives

S = 6y² + 96/y

Differentiate

S' = 12y -  96/y²

Set to 0

12y -  96/y² = 0

Multiply through by y²

12y³ - 96 = 0

Add 96 to both sides

12y³ = 96

Divide by 12

y³ = 8

Take the cube root of both sides

y = 2

Recall that:

x = 3y and z = 12/y²

This gives

x = 3 * 2 = 6

z = 12/2² = 3

Recall that:

S = 2(xy + xz + yz)

So, we have:

S = 2(6 * 2 + 3 * 3 + 2 * 3)

Evaluate

S = 54

Hence, the smallest amount of material needed is 54 square centimeters

Jake set up a study schedule. The plan called for him to study 1/4 hour, 5/8 hour and 1 hour on Monday Tuesday and Wednesday in
Ludmilka [50]
Each day his study time is increasing. Find a common denominator, in this case 8

1/4 = 2/8
5/8 = 5/8
1 = 8/8

So he went from

2/8 to 5/8 to 8/8 which is an increase of 3/8 each day. If this pattern continues Thursday would be 11/8 and Friday 14/8.

14/8 = 1 6/8 = 1 3/4 hours

(an hour and 45 minutes)
