The optimum shape of such a box is half a cube. The corresponding cube will have a volume of 2×256 ft³ = 512 ft³ = (8 ft)³. Such a box has a square base that is 8 ft on a side. If the height is half that of the cube, it will be 4 ft.

The dimensions of your box will be 8 ft square by 4 ft high.

_____

If the base dimension is x ft, the area (quantity of material) is

... a = x² + 4x(256/x²)

... a = x² + 1024x⁻¹

Then the derivative of area with respect to x is

... a' = 2x -1024x⁻²

Setting this derivative to zero and solving for x gives the value of x for minimum area.

... 0 = 2x -1024/x²

... 512 = x³

... x = 8 . . . . . . . . same as above.

Step-by-step explanation:

1\frac{1}{4} , -1\frac{1}{2},  -\frac{37}{50}, -\frac{3}{4}, 2\frac{3}{4},  \frac{5}{4}

Order everything, negative to the left side and positive to the right side

<u><em>Negative numbers:</em></u>

-1\frac{1}{2}, -\frac{37}{50}, -\frac{3}{4}

<u><em>Positive numbers:</em></u>

1\frac{1}{4}, 2\frac{3}{4}, \frac{5}{4}

<em><u>Now order it on a number line:</u></em>

-1\frac{1}{2}, -\frac{3}{4}, -\frac{37}{50}, \frac{5}{4}, 1\frac{1}{4}, 2\frac{3}{4}
