Answer:
Radius = 1.12 inches and Height = 4.06 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
A soup can is in the shape of a right circular cylinder.
Let the radius of the can is 'r' and height of the can is 'h'.
It has been given that the can is made up of two materials.
Material used for side of the can costs $0.015 and material used for the lids costs $0.027.
Surface area of the can is represented by
S = 2πr² + 2πrh ( surface area of the lids + surface are of the curved surface)
Now the function that represents the cost to construct the can will be
C = 2πr²(0.027) + 2πrh(0.015)
C = 0.054πr² + 0.03πrh ---------(1)
Volume of the can = Volume of a cylinder = πr²h
16 = πr²h
-------(2)
Now we place the value of h in the equation (1) from equation (2)
Now we will take the derivative of the cost C with respect to r to get the value of r to get the value to construct the can.
Now for C' = 0
r³ = 1.415
r = 1.12 inch
and h =
h = 4.06 inches
Let's check the whether the cost is minimum or maximum.
We take the second derivative of the function.
which is positive which represents that for r = 1.12 inch cost to construct the can will be minimum.
Therefore, to minimize the cost of the can dimensions of the can should be
Radius = 1.12 inches and Height = 4.06 inches
