Answer: 2 inch dimension will give smallest increase.


Step-by-step explanation:

Length = 3 in

width = 2 in

height = 6 in

Extra cardboard  means to find surface area

on doubling the length

length = 6 In

width = 2 In

Height = 6In

Surface area for the above dimensions = 2 [ 6x2+2x6+6x6] = 120 sq in

On doubling the width

length = 3 in

width = 4 in

Height = 6 inch

Surface area for the above dimensions= 2 [ 3x4+4x6+6x3] = 2[54] = 108 sq inches

On doubling height

Length =3 in

width = 2 in

Height = 12 in

Surface area for above dimensions = 2 [ 3x2+2x12+12x3] = 2[6+24+36] = 132 sq inch

On doubling width surface area is minimum.

Given Δ XYZ ≅ Δ EGF, find the measurements of the unknown sides and angles.
mamaluj [8]
The two triangles are similar and equal therefore; It means the corresponding sides are equal and the corresponding angles are equal. Hence;
 ZX=EF, thus,ZX = 1.3 in. 
EG = XY, thus, EG = 3.0 in.
m∠ X = m∠E, thus m ∠X = 48°
m∠ G = m∠Y, and angles in a triangle add up to 180 thus;
  m ∠ G=180- (107 +48) = 25°
