a box with a square base and open top must have a volume of 70304 c m 3 cm3 . we wish to find the dimensions of the box that min

imize the amount of material used. first, find a formula for the surface area of the box in terms of only x x , the length of one side of the square base. [hint: use the volume formula to express the height of the box in terms of x x .] simplify your formula as much as possible.

The box should have base 52 cm by 52 cm and height 26 cm.

What is volume?

A three-dimensional space's occupied volume is measured. It is frequently expressed as a numerical value using SI-derived units, other imperial units, or US customary units. Volume definition and length definition are connected.

The Volume of a box with a square base x by x cm and height h cm is

V = x^2h

Since the surface area directly affects the amount of material used, we can reduce the amount of material by reducing the surface area.

The surface area of the box described is  A = x^2 + 4xh

We need A as a function of x alone, so we'll use the fact that

V = x^2h= 70304 cm^3

⇒ h = \frac{70304}{x^2}

So, the area becomes,

A = x^2+4x(\frac{70304}{x^2})\\ A = x^2 + \frac{281216}{x}

We want to minimize A, so

A' = 2x - \frac{281216}{x^2} =0\\\frac{2x^3-281216}{x^2}=0\\ {2x^3-281216} = 0\\x^3 - 140608=0\\x^3 = 140608\\x = 52

The second derivative test verifies that A has a minimum at this critical number:

A'' = 2+\frac{562432}{x^3}  which is positive at x = 52.

Now,

h = \frac{70304}{x^2}= \frac{70304}{(52)^2}=26

Hence, The box should have base 52 cm by 52 cm and height 26 cm.

The formula for finding the volume of a rectangular prism (the cargo area of the truck is the shape of a rectangle in 3D; a rectangular prism) is V = (l)(w)(h); where <em>l</em> = length, <em>w</em> = width, and <em>h</em> = height.

First, substitute the known values into the equation:

l = 8.5

w = 6

h = 10.5

V = (8.5)(6)(10.5)

<em>(Note: .5 = 1/2)</em>

Now, all we need to do is simplify:

V = 535.5 ft³ OR 535 1/2 ft³

<em>(Note: ft</em><em>³</em><em> is the condensed form of cubic feet)</em>

You can pick whichever form your test directs you to use. They are both the same value though.

Hope this helps!
