If

dle" class="latex-formula">300 cm of material is available to make a box with a square base and an open top, find the maximum volume of the box in cubic centimeters. Answer to the nearest cubic centimeter without commas. For example, if the answer is 2,000 write 2000.

Check the picture below.  Recall, is an open-top box, so, the top is not part of the surface area, of the 300 cm².  Also, recall, the base is a square, thus, length = width = x.

\bf \textit{volume of a rectangular prism}\\\\
V=lwh\quad 
\begin{cases}
l = length\\
w=width\\
h=height\\
-----\\
w=l=x
\end{cases}\implies V=xxh\implies \boxed{V=x^2h}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{surface area}\\\\
S=4xh+x^2\implies 300=4xh+x^2\implies \cfrac{300-x^2}{4x}=h
\\\\\\
\boxed{\cfrac{75}{x}-\cfrac{x}{4}=h}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
V=x^2\left( \cfrac{75}{x}-\cfrac{x}{4} \right)\implies V(x)=75x-\cfrac{1}{4}x^3

so.. that'd be the V(x) for such box, now, where is the maximum point at?

\bf V(x)=75x-\cfrac{1}{4}x^3\implies \cfrac{dV}{dx}=75-\cfrac{3}{4}x^2\implies 0=75-\cfrac{3}{4}x^2
\\\\\\
\cfrac{3}{4}x^2=75\implies 3x^2=300\implies x^2=\cfrac{300}{3}\implies x^2=100
\\\\\\
x=\pm10\impliedby \textit{is a length unit, so we can dismiss -10}\qquad \boxed{x=10}

now, let's check if it's a maximum point at 10, by doing a first-derivative test on it.  Check the second picture below.

so, the volume will then be at   \bf V(10)=75(10)-\cfrac{1}{4}(10)^3\implies V(10)=500 \ cm^3

Answer is 60. Plz step by step explanation !! I'm in urgent !! Thank you​
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

60°

Step-by-step explanation:

ABCO is a parallelogram (opposite sides are parallel).

AO is equal to the radius of the circle, so BC must also equal the radius.

CO is equal to the radius of the circle, so AB must also equal the radius.

If we draw a line from O to B, we split the parallelogram into two triangles.  Since OB is equal to the radius of the circle, each triangle is an equilateral triangle.  Therefore, angle A is 60°.

How can you drop two eggs the fewest amount of times, without them breaking? <br><br>Answer, please
valentinak56 [21]
Drop the egg from half way up the building. This divides the search space in half. If it breaks, start on the bottom floor and work your way up the top :) Hope it works
