The largest possible volume of the given box is; 96.28 ft³

<h3>How to maximize volume of a box?</h3>

Let b be the length and the width of the base (length and width are the same since the base is square).

Let h be the height of the box.

The surface area of the box is;

S = b² + 4bh

We are given S = 100 ft². Thus;

b² + 4bh = 100

h = (100 - b²)/4b

Volume of the box in terms of b will be;

V(b) = b²h = b² * (100 - b²)/4b

V(b) = 25b - b³/4

The volume is maximum when dV/db = 0. Thus;

dV/db = 25 - 3b²/4

25 - 3b²/4 = 0

√(100/3) = b

b = 5.77 ft

Thus;

h = (100 - (√(100/3)²)/4(5.77)

h = 2.8885 ft

Thus;

Largest volume = [√(100/3)]² * 2.8885

Largest Volume = 96.28 ft³

Henry paid $84 for 3 shirts. each shirt costs the same amount. let s represent the cost of each shirt. solve the equation 3s=84
KengaRu [80]
Hmm, 3 shirts cost $84 all together 84 divided by 3 is 28. 28+28+28=84. Each shirt had to be $28 to equal $84 for the final price. Hope this was right!

Can someone help me with this problem. please
Kitty [74]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

area = 30x + 30(x+3) + 30(2x)

= 30x + 30x+90 + 60x

= (120x + 90) m²

length of planting area = x + (x+3) + 2x = 4x+3 m

area = 30(4x+3) = (120x + 90) m²

x = 5

maple area = 30(5+3) = 240 m²

locust area = 30(2·5) = = 300 m²
