A container manufacturer plans to make rectangular boxes whose bottom and top measure 2x by 3x. The container must contain 12in.

3 The top and the bottom will cost $2.60 per square inch, while the four sides will cost $4.30 per square inch. What should the height of the container be so as to minimize cost? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

The height of the container be so as to minimize cost will be 1.20. inches.

<h3>How to calculate the height?</h3>

The volume of the box will be:

= 2x × 3x × h

= 6x²h

Volume = 6x²h

12 = 6x²h

h = 2x²

The cost function will be:

C = 2.60(2)(6x²) + 4.30(12x)h

C = 31.2x² + 51.6xh

Taking the derivative

62.4x + 51.6h

h = 1.20

Therefore, the height of the container be so as to minimize cost will be 1.20 inches.

Answer:

11.4

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that Triangle ACB is similar to Triangle EFD.

This means that their sides are proportional to each other.

We want to find x or side AB. To do so, we can set up a proportion.

The proportional side to AB is ED. Let's also use BC since we know its value. The proportional side to BC is DF. Thus:

\frac{AB}{ED}=\frac{BC}{DF}

Substitute x for AB, 3.8 for Ed, 15 for BC, and 5 for DF. Thus:

\frac{x}{3.8}=\frac{15}{5}

Reduce the right:

\frac{x}{3.8}=\frac{3}{1}

Cross multiply:

x=11.4

So, the value of x is 11.4

And we're done!
