The dimensions such as length is 18 and width is 16 or length is 32 and width is 9 will produce an enclosed area of 288ft.

<h3>What is the dimension of length and width?</h3>

We know that,

P = l + 2w

50 = l + 2w

50 - 2w = l

A = l x w

288 = (50 - 2w)w

288 = 50w -2w²

2w² - 50w + 288

By dividing throughout by 2

w² - 25w + 144

This is in quadratic equation form.

By applying quadratic formula,

w = (-(-25) ± \sqrt{(-25)^{2}-4*1*144) / 2

w = (-(-25) ± 7)/2

w1 =  (-(-25) + 7)/2

w1 = (25 + 7) / 2

w1 = 16

w2 =  (-(-25) - 7)/2

w2 = (25 - 7) / 2

w2 = 9

By substituting the values in eq1,

A = l x w

if w = 16

288 = l x 16

l = 288/16

l = 18

if w = 9

288 = l x 9

l = 288/9

l = 32

The dimensions will be length is 18 and width is 16 or length is 32 and width is 9.

Rama09 [41]
If you would like to know how many hours will Lena need to work before she can afford to buy the computer, you can calculate this using the following steps:

$900 - $473 = $427

$427 / $7 = 61 hours of yard work

Result: Lena will need to work 61 hours before she can afford to buy the computer.

Find the dimensions of an open rectangular box with a square base that holds 2000 cubic cm and is constructed with the least bui
Vesnalui [34]
<h3>The dimensions of the given rectangular box are:</h3><h3>L  =   15.874 cm  , B  =  15.874 cm   , H = 7.8937 cm</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the dimension of the square base = S x S

Let us assume the height of the rectangular base = H

So, the total area of the open rectangular box  

= Area of the base +  4 x ( Area of the adjacent faces)

=  S x S  +  4 ( S x H)   = S² +  4 SH   ..... (1)

Also, Area of the box  = S x S x H  =  S²H

⇒ S²H = 2000

\implies H = \frac{2000}{S^2}

Substituting the value of H in (1), we get:

A = S^2 + 4 SH =  S^2 + 4 S(\frac{2000}{S^2}) =  S^2 + (\frac{8000}{S})\\\implies A  =  S^2 + (\frac{8000}{S})

Now, to minimize the area put :

(\frac{dA}{dS} ) = 0 \implies 2S  - \frac{8000}{S^2}  = 0\\\implies S^3 = 4000\\\implies S  = 15.874 \approx 16 cm

Putting the value of S  = 15.874 cm in the value of H , we get:

\implies H = \frac{2000}{S^2}  =  \frac{2000}{(15.874)^2} = 7.8937 cm

Hence, the dimensions of the given rectangular box are:

L  =   15.874 cm

B  = 15.874 cm

H = 7.8937 cm
