Answer:
A. 14x14x28
B. The maximum volume is 5488 cuibic inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem states that the box has square ends, so you can express volume with:
Using the restriction stated in the problem to get another equation you can substitute in the one above:
Substituting <em>y</em> whit this equation gives:
Now find the limit of <em>x</em>:
Find the length:
You can now calculate the maximum volume:
Check the picture below.
since the diameter of the cone is 6", then its radius is half that or 3", so getting the volume of only the cone, not the top.
1)
2)
now, the top of it, as you notice in the picture, is a semicircle, whose radius is the same as the cone's, 3.
3)
well, you'll be serving the cone and top combined, 12π + 18π = 30π or about 94.25 in³.
4)
pretty much the same thing, we get the volume of the cone and its top, add them up.
