Answer:

The box should have base 16ft by 16ft and height 8ft Therefore,dimensions are 16 ft by 16 ft by 8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We were given the volume of the tank as, 2048 cubic feet.

Form minimum weight, the surface area must be minimum.

Let the height be h and the lengths be x

the volume will be: V=x²h then substitute the value of volume, we have

2048=hx²

hence

h=2048/x²

Since the amount of material used is directly proportional to the surface area, then the material needs to be minimized by minimizing the surface area.

The surface area of the box described is

A=x²+4xh

Then substitute h into the Area equation we have

A= x² + 4x(2048/x²)

A= x² + 8192/x

We want to minimize

A

dA/dx = -8192/x² + 2 x= 0 for max or min

when dA/dx=0

dA/dx= 2x-8192/x²=0

2x=8192/x²

Hence

2x³=8192

x³=4096

x=₃√(4096)

X=16ft

Then h=2048/x²

h=2048/16²

h=8ft

The box should have base 16ft by 16ft and height 8ft

Hence the dimensions are 16 ft by 16 ft by 8 ft

wariber [46]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

The Inequality representing money she can still spend on her friend birthday gift is .

Jordan can still spend at most $30 on her friends birthday gift.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total money need to spend at most = $45

Money spent on Yoga ball = $15

We need to find how much money she can still spend on her friend birthday gift.

Solution:

Let the money she can still spend on her friend birthday gift be 'x'.

So we can say that;

Money spent on Yoga ball plus money she can still spend on her friend birthday gift should be less than or equal to Total money need to spend.

framing in equation form we get;

The Inequality representing money she can still spend on her friend birthday gift is .

On solving the the above Inequality we get;

we will subtract both side by 15 using subtraction property of Inequality.

Hence Jordan can still spend at most $30 on her friends birthday gift.

Antonette gets $70\%$ on a 10-problem test, $80\%$ on a 20-problem test and $90\%$ on a 30-problem test. If the three tests are
notka56 [123]

Answer:

Percentage score will be 83.33 %

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given Antonette gets 70 % on 10 problem test

Let consider here here total problem = total marks

So marks get 10 10 problem test = 10×0.7 = 7

Marks get in 20 problem test = 20×0.8 = 16

And marks get in 30 problem test = 30×0.9 = 27

Now total marks get get by Antonette = 7 +16 + 27 = 50

And total marks = 60

So percentage score of Antonette =\frac{50}{60}\times 100=83.33 %
