If 1200 cm^2 of material is available to make a box with a square base and an open top find the largest possible volume of the b
strojnjashka [21]
Surface area of box=1200 cm² 
<span>Volume of box=s²h </span>
<span>s = side of square base </span>
<span>h = height of box </span>
<span>S.A. = s² + 4sh </span>
<span>S.A. = surface area or 1200 cm², s²
 = the square base, and 4sh = the four 'walls' of the box. </span>
<span>1200 = s² + 4sh </span>
<span>1200 - s² = 4sh </span>
<span>(1200 - s²)/(4s) = h </span>


<span>v(s) = s²((1200 - s²)/(4s)) </span>
<span>v(s) = s(1200 - s²)/4 . </span>
<span>v(s) = 300s - (1/4)s^3</span>

by derivating
<span>v'(s) = 300 - (3/4)s² </span>
<span>0 = 300 - (3/4)s² </span>
<span>-300 = (-3/4)s² </span>
<span>400 = s² </span>
<span>s = -20 and 20. </span>
again derivating
<span>v"(s) = -(3/2)s </span>
<span>v"(-20) = -(3/2)(-20) </span>
<span>v"(-20) = 30 </span>
<span>v"(20) = -(3/2)(20) </span>
<span>v"(20) = -30 </span>


<span>v(s) = 300s - (1/4)s^3 </span>
<span>v(s) = 300(20) - (1/4)(20)^3 </span>
<span>v(s) = 6000 - (1/4)(8000) </span>
<span>v = 6000 - 2000 
v=4000</span>

Lisa [10]
To figure out the answer to this problem, you must first ask yourself this:

</span>                  or
<span>What is 126 divded by 700
</span>
The answer is 0.18.

So, that means that 0.18 or 18 percent might be your answer.

Now, lets try 18 percent of 700, to see if we get 126.

<span>18% times 700
</span>
The anwer is 126.
